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: (mer-i-TRISH-uhs)
adjective:
1. Based on pretense or insincerity. Apparently attractive but having in reality no value or integrity.
2. Appealing in a cheap or showy manner: tawdry.
Example:
“I always advise sellers to beware of the meretricious promises made by agents eager to win a listing at any cost. For instance, an unrealistically high sale price is one thing to look out for.”
