Perhaps is it because I speak American rather than British, but to me a shop is 
a place where the item(s) I buy can be carried out, if not in a shopping bag 
then on a truck (lorry). Assuming that “estate agent” translates to “real 
estate agent”, I would expect them to work out of an office rather than out of 
a shop.

Love the “bike shedding” that this list promotes. (Not really, but I was 
unaware of that term until I joined this list and it really does apply to 
nearly every tagging topic covered here.)

Cheers,
Tod
