Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'estate' (property/land) with 'agent' (representative): an estate agent is someone who acts for or manages property sales and rentals. This is a straightforward compositional pattern found across languages and is likely inferable by a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Estate agent comes from the words estate meaning a large piece of land or 'property' and agent meaning a person who acts for someone. Long ago such agents looked after a landowner's estate, so today an estate agent helps people sell, rent, or manage 'property'.
