La agente de bienes raíces, que/quien /la cual/la que/ es muy experta, (what's listed?) puso la casa en venta ayer.

I wouldn't use "muy" with "experto". This is already some kind of superlative, so in this case I would rather say "es una experta", or "es muy profesional".

There are many people who use "la/el cual" for a person, but I was taught it is very disrespectful, so if you want to use a more formal sentence than a simple one with "que", use "quien".

THanks much, do you know if any other countries consider la/el cual to be rude?
No mention of it in my grammar books, although que used after a, con, de, & en would be incorrect to refer to people.

In Spain it's not considered rude.
La madre de Juan, la cual/quien es francesa, nos viene a dar clases todas las tardes.

It is rude however to call a woman "una cualquiera".

Yes, you are right is considered rude the phrase Una cualquiera, but it's rude because is said for the womens who sells her body, therefore I don't believe that the word La, el are rude in any place.;)

I learned that the use of "la/el cual" to talk about a person was disrespectful because it was the same as talking about a thing, but that may be a prejudice inherited from conservative teachers. :)
