  • Four estate agent's property boards advertise their names and numbers in a London housing estate, each representing vendors selling their houses and flats for a set commission in the housing market. Above the signs is the pink blossom from a cherry tree whose branches hang over the temporary information boards. The term originally referred to a person responsible for managing a landed estate, while those engaged in the buying and selling of homes were "House Agents", and those selling land were "Land Agents". However, in the 20th century, "Estate Agent" started to be used as a generic term, perhaps because it was thought to sound more impressive. Estate agent is roughly synonymous in the United States with the term real estate broker.

We are looking up at the tall sign that is on top of a wooden pole. Edwardian houses are in the background as well as autumnal trees. An airliner flies overhead and late afternoon sunshine warms the landscape in orange light. Kinleigh Folkard & Haywood is a London-based company, founded in 1977 by Lee Watts and Philip King.
