A Hidden Node in the Build-and-Sell System: Estate Agents
Abstract
Discussing how the way different actors in the property market are informed by different perspectives and agendas, stemming from different practices and how this, in turn, leads to different ways of acting is an important issue. It is such a diversity in ways that triggered this research. The author's experience in the design and construction process of an apartment block in Bağlıca, Ankara, built with the build-and-sell system, disclosed the impact of estate agents' expertise in reading the market on architectural design and construction processes.
This paper explored how estate agents foresee their role in this system by talking with the agents about their work. By considering the build-and-sell system as practice, the paper shared the findings of the content analysis of eight semi-structured interviews with executives involved in the build-and-sell system and mostly working in Bağlıca, Ankara, as estate agents, architects, and builders-and-sellers and two interviews with architects working in the municipality. The findings show that estate agents are a node, a bridge among builders, landowners, and architects in certain areas while considering themselves as design-decision supporters/consultants for many builders. The paper discusses how estate agents' knowledge, skills, and meanings interact with the constitutive elements of build-and-sell practices.
