I stand corrected, from wikipedia

An estate agent is a person or business that arranges the selling, renting or management of properties, and other buildings, in the United Kingdom and Ireland. An agent that specialises in renting is often called a letting or management agent. Estate agents are mainly engaged in the marketing of property available for sale and a solicitor or licensed conveyancer is used to prepare the legal documents. In Scotland, however, many solicitors also act as estate agents, a practice that is rare in England and Wales.

It is customary in the United Kingdom and in Ireland to refer to real estate or real property simply as property.

The estate agent remains the current title for the person responsible for the management of one group of privately owned, all or mostly tenanted, properties under one ownership. Alternative titles are Factor, Steward or Bailiff depending on the era, the region and the extent of the property concerned.

But I would gather the rest of the world uses a different term.  Might want to expand your title if you want people outside the UK/Ireland to correctly understand what you mean.   But up to you.  Cheers mate.

The managing/dealing with estates following death, is normally dealt with by lawyers/solicitors and not agents.

Estate Agent is a British term used for those that deal with the sale and rental of property (houses, flats). The Thais appear to have adopted the British term, and therefore reference to Estate Agents here in Thailand would be correct.

 So many English words, have been bastardised (with an s -not a z!) over time by the Americans, who in later years do not understand the original words when used correctly.
