    BRITISH

    Estate Agent




    AMERICAN


    Realtor





    Basically the same thing, a smug bastard with little or no specific training and all the expertise and in depth knowledge of a shit flinging monkey that has been repeatedly catapulted head first into a brick wall. The US version sounds like a baddie from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
