[Tagging] Estate agent

[Andreas Goss]

I know a private school that had a classroom in a former carpet store. 
Still with large windows towards the street. Would that be also be a 
shop then?

>> 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.
