When it comes to Real Estate, transversal skills are just as essential as hard skills and technical knowledge specific to the field. This is because successful property transactions depend not only on legal and market expertise but also the agent’s ability to communicate effectively and negotiate with both sellers and buyers. In today’s digital-driven market, marketing skills and digital literacy have also become critical components of a real estate professional’s toolkit. Agents must understand how to promote listings across digital platforms, utilize social media strategically and leverage online tools to reach wider audiences and build trust with potential clients. This module will therefore outline the importance of mastering transversal skills – such as communication, negotiation and adaptability – while also emphasizing the growing relevance of marketing and digital competencies. Additionally it will help participants reflect on their current skill sets, recognising existing strengths and identifying areas for further development.
