The Power Of Knowing The Real Estate Lingo
Have you been in a situation where you enter into an unknown territory, and found that people have spoken a different language that you are not familiar with? Or have you tried entering in a restaurant because you suddenly found yourself craving for a certain dish, wanting to order it but couldn’t do so because for some reason you cannot pronounce the name of the dish properly?
If your answers to my questions are yes then you are in danger of alienating yourself from what you really want. So what you gotta do? Simple, learn the lingo.
We have to realize that there’s power in knowing some lingo that you know it’ll be useful for you in the long run and the same holds in the real estate business. Come to think of it, we’ve come across several borrowers in the past who are pleasurable to work with; they’ll instantly smile at you, nodding, agreeing and will just sign anything you presented to them. Of course, it is an advantage on your part but would it not be a better world if both of you are on the same wavelength?

Of course, it will help you put in a position of authority when it comes to negotiation. Also if you can speak the real estate lingo, you’ll instantly gain credibility and relationship compared to someone who does not know the lingo at all. And yes, you can mingle with foreigners as easily as you want to and of course you can order anything that you want to eat. Isn’t that power?
