Cultural and Language Issues
Cultural and language issues faced by
Realtors when working with
international clients have eased
somewhat in recent years. Seventy
percent of respondents reported they
have not had problems when working
with international clients. In past
years, as few as 42% reported no
problems working with international
clients.
The decline in those reporting
problems is associated from the larger
fraction of the respondents who could
speak another language and were
born abroad. Forty-five percent of
respondents reported they are fluent
in a language other than English, the
highest share since this question was
asked in the 2008 survey.
A third of respondents were born
outside the United States.
