Is Business Interpreting Truly Practical For Real Estate?

 

Business interpreting for bilingual adults can change the entire trajectory of your career. Because the truth is, your language skills- that you've been cultivating your entire life- can  earn you more money, if done correctly. And did you know that a business interpreting certificate has practical applications for nearly every industry? Here is just one example: the Real Estate industry.

Adults with a Limited English Proficiency (LEP adults) often experience more difficulty when looking to buy a home, or an apartment to rent. And regardless if you realize it or not, business interpreter training is needed. Whether it's at an open house, or offering document translation services during a lease signing... becoming a bilingual business interpreter also makes a significant difference, and it is in demand. But why?

Because not everyone has what it takes to become a language interpreter. Being bilingual is not unique, but having the professional instruction and industry certification is. And yes, knowing two languages is a big part of our interpreter training course - that's why we require you to be bilingual in order to enroll. But professional language interpreting is so much more than just knowing two languages. It is a skill all on its own, and that is what we teach.

 

How bilingual adults can use our business interpreting certificate in the Real Estate industry

• Become a freelance interpreter for real estate showings

After completing our business interpreter training program, bilingual students can partner with real estate agencies, by providing language interpreting services to buyers and sellers. Make some business cards or fliers, and let local agents know about the services you can provide. If you want to be taken seriously: make a website, and social media profiles to advertise your services online. You can even go to your city hall and leave a flier with information about your work. The point is: people have to know who you are, and what you do in order to get steady freelance work. But just because it requires effort to be successful, doesn't mean it isn't worth pursuing.

• Be the most popular real estate agent in town

Bilingual real estate agents can build a reputation and a successful career by bringing language access to communities with a Limited English Proficiency (LEP). Especially if you are already a licensed real estate agent and bilingual, getting your business interpreting certificate can be a lucrative investment for your career. We provide the skills trainings, industry knowledge & technique required for professional language interpreting. Just imagine providing high-quality language translation during an open house. The amount of attention your services attract will secure more leads as word of mouth travels. Plus, your clients will be able to negotiate better, and more competitive deals with a business interpreting certificate.

• Work as a housing advocate or leasing consultant

Property management companies, housing nonprofits and urban development projects often need language interpreting services. But do they know who to contact for them? These types of professionals frequently need to help clients understand housing laws, lease obligations, and detailed financial paperwork. By offering your language interpreting services, you can carve out a space for yourself as a trusted advocate in these spaces, and work as a mediator between occupants and the housing authority. And our interactive interpreter training will teach you how to do it all with ease.
