Estelle
The real estate agent is selling both Estelle’s apartment and the apartment across the landing. She works for the House Tricks Real Estate Agency, whose tagline is “HOW’S TRICKS?” The narrator makes it clear that the real estate agent is very bad at her job: in addition to being insufferably annoying and parroting her agency’s tagline at every opportunity, she does a poor job staging the apartment and chooses an objectively bad day to hold the viewing. Roger also resents her for having incorrect information on the apartment’s floor plans. For much of the novel, the agent is absent—she was collecting herself in the closet when the robber took the prospective buyers hostage, and she climbed into the attic vent to hide and remains there for much of the hostage drama. This leads Jack to briefly believe that there was never a real estate agent at the viewing and that the robber escaped the apartment by posing as the agent, as the agent was still hiding when the hostages sent their pizza order down to the police.

That wasn’t true. There wasn’t a single person in the apartment who didn’t understand perfectly.
