DO ACRONYMS IN REAL ESTATE CONFUSE YOUR CLIENTS?

Hi Clark, I think as long as you explain the acronym at first then keep using it, it is okay to use, for example "PITI" (aka principal interest tax & insurance), then continue to say PITI....

Thanks Clark for bringing this issue up.  

I am also trying very hard to not use Acronyms.  

I am constantly using FSBO, CMA and PITI. My clients will stare at me with a blank look on their face and I immediately will catch myself.  

We should all be aware that we should speak the language of our clients not our own.

It's so easy to spew out the acronyms that we are so accustomed to using on a daily basis, forgetting that our buyers and sellers may have no clue what we are talking about. I try to be mindful of this whenever I am talking with clients and prospects.
