I understand the critical significance of having excellent English communication skills in this industry because I'm a real estate student. As I look back on my journey thus far, I can see where I still have room to grow and improve in terms of my ability to communicate in English effectively in a real estate setting. What I learned from self-reflection, in summary, is as follows:
Active Listening: I've grown to understand the value of active listening in the real estate industry. I occasionally noticed that I offered solutions or responses before I had a complete understanding of the client's needs. Since then, I've worked to get better at listening, getting clients' full attention, and asking clarifying questions.
Written Communication: I recognise that there is still room for improvement, but my written communication skills have improved. I've been more careful to ensure that my emails, reports, and contracts are clear, concise, and error-free by carefully proofreading and editing them. However, I intend to keep looking for chances to hone this ability.
Nonverbal Communication: I've learned how crucial nonverbal communication is, especially when negotiating. To establish a more upbeat and trustworthy environment, I've actively worked on enhancing my body language, maintaining eye contact, and mirroring the nonverbal cues of clients.
