English for Real Estate
入世以后，跨國(guó)房地產(chǎn)交易越來越多，涉外交易動(dòng)輒千百萬；地道、準(zhǔn)確、符合國(guó)際慣例的房地產(chǎn)英語無疑是促成交易、避免誤解的必備條件,特別是對(duì)于一個(gè)出色的房地產(chǎn)代理商來說，其重要性就更為突出。
After China’entry into WTO, foreign estate trade expands rapidly with large sum of dollars often involved, thus a good command of estate English in conformity with international practice becomes more essential, especially to a outstanding real estate agent.
