UK Estate Agent Schema
`RealEstateAgent` schema.org markup for UK estate agents and letting agents — with `hasOfferCatalog` (sales, lettings, property management, valuations), `memberOf` (NAEA Propertymark, ARLA Propertymark, The Property Ombudsman), `areaServed`, and `aggregateRating`.
Definition
`RealEstateAgent` is a specific schema.org type for businesses providing property sales and letting services. For UK estate agents: **`hasOfferCatalog`** listing services (residential sales, residential lettings, property management, free property valuation, new homes, block management) as `Service` objects; **`memberOf`** referencing NAEA Propertymark (`propertymark.co.uk`), ARLA Propertymark (for letting agents), and The Property Ombudsman (`tpos.co.uk`) as `Organization` objects — making professional body memberships machine-readable; **`areaServed`** defining geographic coverage (towns, postcode areas, county); **`aggregateRating`** from Google, allAgents, Trustpilot, or Feefo reviews. Property listing pages within the agency website do not have a recommended schema type — Product schema is sometimes used for rental listings, but `RealEstateAgent` entity at the practice level is the higher-priority schema implementation. Canonical configuration on property listing pages is critical: ensure each listing has a self-referencing canonical pointing to the agency website URL (not the portal-syndicated version).
Why it matters for SEO
`RealEstateAgent` schema makes the agency\'s services and professional body memberships machine-readable — enabling Google to understand service scope and verify regulatory credentials for the E-E-A-T evaluation of estate agency content.
