Norwegian term (edited):
Leies�ksgruppe
Real Estate Agency/Rental Group
In the American English you would normally call it a Real Estate Agency. This is, after all, a group of people commissioned to find a certain type of real estate for someone. The term "rental group" is normally only used as a part of a company name, i.e. Jones Rental Group. Is there anything in your text that suggests that this "group" is not a normal real estate agency?
