Real Estate Sales Agent — On-the-job English
Study in your language — but on the job you'll speak English. These are the real phrases you actually say for this work, with a note in your language. Not a script; common situations workers report.
Showing a home to buyers
On a showing you guide clients through a home, point out features and honest drawbacks, and answer questions without overstating — you may not know every answer, and 'let me confirm that for you' is a professional, safe response.
🔖 Quick reference
Welcome — feel free to look around, and let me know any questions as we go.
Greet buyers and invite questions at a showing.
The kitchen was updated in 2021; the roof is original, so I'd budget for that.
State a feature and an honest drawback — don't oversell.
That's a good question — let me confirm that with the listing agent and get back to you.
It's safe to say you'll verify rather than guess.
No pressure at all — take your time, and we can talk next steps whenever you're ready.
Keep it low-pressure; let buyers set the pace.
Explaining the buyer agreement and a disclosure
Since the 2024 NAR settlement, buyers sign a written agreement with their agent before touring, and paperwork like disclosures must be explained clearly — plain, accurate English matters, and you should never pretend a document says something it doesn't.
🔖 Quick reference
Before we tour, we'll sign a buyer agreement that spells out how I'm paid. Let me walk you through it.
Explain the written buyer agreement (post-2024 settlement).
This disclosure lists issues the seller knows about — please read it, and ask me anything that's unclear.
Point clients to the disclosure and invite questions.
I can't give legal or tax advice, but I can connect you with an attorney or a lender who can.
Know your limits — refer legal/tax questions out.
Take your time to read it fully; I'm happy to go through it line by line with you.
Never rush a signature; offer to review it together.
