Let Me Be Clear! WARNING, WARNING! Something unclear is about to be spoken leaving the listener CONFUSED (Photo: Robin Higgins, Pixabay)

In real esate we need to be clear when we talk about real estate terms and write, otherwise we can confuse people. Clear things can become blurry.

"Let me make myself clear", it seems like everyone says this today. Why? Do they assume you are not telling the truth in the first place? Or....are we just bumbling fools that mess up everything we write or say. 

In Real Estate there are hundreds of acronyms. Sure Realtors, loan officers and escrow officer know what most of them mean. However, the home seller and home buyer (the most important person) in a real estate transacton may not. 

FHA Loan- Federal Housing Administration backed loan can be 3.5% down

BINSR- Buyer Inspection Notice and Seller Response

SPDS- Seller Property Disclosure Statement

COE- Close of Escrow

PreQual- Lender Pre-qualification of Buyer showing Seller that Buyer can fund

Well it used to be that people made mistakes when they said things by either speaking too fast or putting emphasis on their syllables incorrectly. Oh well...

We all thought auto correct on our text messages and emails and letters would help us stay out of trouble. Well.....apparently not...read on.

Does AUTO CORRECT and Voice Dictation seem like a great process in theory but do you spend more time correcting the auto correct and sometimes strange or even "embarrassing" words go out in your texts and emails? The dictation typo is a new American phenomenon. (Photo: OK from Pixabay)

How Does Auto Correct Work?

Think of Auto Correct as this: There is a little elf in your phone working VERY HARD to correct your messages but is in fact quite drunk.

Do you need help in selling or buying a home so that little elf does not mess things up? Have you noticed some Realtors say they will "Sell Your House For More"? What on earth does that clearly mean and for more than what? What everyone needs is a "Clear REALTOR®" that speaks in human terms and not with hyperbole or conflicted meanings. Give me, Jeff Masich, REALTOR a call to help you get it done!

Hello Jeff - most people don't speak fluent real estate.   Unfamiliar language combines with lingo specific to the industry as well as many sorts of acronyms plus assorted other stuff.   It's easy to understand why confusion has created havoc at times.

Hi Jeff,

I find that it's important to be clear.  As for autocorrect, that is something that you need to watch out for because I have used talk to text and it sent something totally different then what I meant.

Good morning Jeff,

In real estate we all need to be clear when we talk about real estate terms and write, otherwise we can confuse people! They often repeat what we say and sometimes they didn't hear correctly because we weren't clear! Auto correct on my iPhone I really have to be careful of! I always proofread before I hit send!

Thanks for sharing this insightful post, Jeff Masich-Scottsdale AZ Associate Broker,MBA,GRI. I really appreciate how you highlight the importance of clarity in real estate conversations and the humor you bring to the quirks of auto correct. It’s a great reminder that clear communication makes all the difference. Out of curiosity, if I state “let me be perfectly clear,” will that make any difference? 😊
