This week we continue our vocabulary-building series, “The Closing Word.” Each week we provide a new word to help build your vocabulary and show you how to specifically implement it in business. A well-spoken, intelligent agent inspires confidence with clients and colleagues alike.
This week’s closing word:
Pronounced: (gra-TOO-uh-tuss)
adjective:
1. Uncalled for; lacking good reason; unwarranted.
2. Given or done free of charge.
Example:
“I generally advise homeowners not to hover during open houses or showings because of the gratuitouspressure it puts on prospective buyers. The extra stress prevents buyers from relaxing and asking questions.”
