English country gentlemen holding answer for realtors (6,6)
I believe the answer is:
estate agents
'realtors' is the definition.
('estate agent' can be a synonym of 'realtor')
'english country gentlemen holding answer' is the wordplay.
'english country' becomes 'estate' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'gentlemen' becomes 'gents' (gent is a kind of gentleman).
'holding' indicates putting letters inside.
'answer' becomes 'a' (abbreviation eg in Q and A).
'estate'+'gents'='estategents'
'estategents' placed around 'a' is 'ESTATE AGENTS'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for estate agents that I've seen before include "Dealers in property" , "People who sell houses" .)
