WHAT ARE TRANSFERABLE SKILLS? Transferable skills are often soft skills, such as communication style, interpersonal skills, or organizational methods and planning tools. However, sometimes technical knowledge, like familiarity with a particular software or digital tools can be transferable. Likewise, experience in sales, negotiation, leadership and public speaking are also transferable across fields. Local knowledge is also a transferable skill that most agents are adapting from their lived experience to inform their sales of homes in that same area.
