Sunday afternoon musings

It must be a slow email day, as I would not normally have the free thinking space to come up with 2 muses in one day. Be that as it may, try this one on for size.
I started writing this two days ago and see that during writing have changed from writing the word professional as shown, and am now enclosing it in inverted commas when referring to certain, ahem.. professionals.
Now my understanding is that in order to be classed as a professional and be a member of a professional body you need to study and pass exams then be admitted to said body who then watch over your actions and can and will pronounce judgement upon you if a client of yours should complain, even to the point of rescinding your status thus removing from you the right to practice said profession.
My understanding is also that this is not the case for Estate Agents in Spain and as such my fingers are now refusing to type this oxymoron any more.
But I still need a collective noun to describe them and others in the housing business, I do so hope you can see and commiserate with my dilemma.
I´ve come up with a few that may fit but perhaps there is someone out there who can come up with some more, feel free to add them as a comment below and at some future date I shall collate them into a single post and we can hold a vote on which epithets we most would like to use.
To start the ball rolling:
A greed of ...
A scarpered of ...
A deceit of ...
A persuasion of ...
Enjoy, but keep it clean and publishable please.
