Important Real Estate Brochures Now Published in Foreign Languages

As a result of requests from REALTORS®, the Washington Center for Real Estate Research (WCRER) has translated three of the most frequently requested real estate brochures into the native languages of Washington's primary immigrant groups. The Agency Law pamphlet required by state law, as well as the Consumer Guide to Real Estate Practices in Washington and Residential Seller Property Disclosure in Washington, have been translated into five foreign languages, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

REALTORS® initially proposed the idea to the Washington Department of Licensing Real Estate Commission in February 2001, because members reported experiencing difficulty when explaining the elements of the pamphlets to clients whose first language is not English.

The foreign language brochures will not be produced as print materials by Washington REALTORS®, WCRER or the Department of Licensing, but you are welcome to download and print as many copies as you need. The DOL's Dedicated Real Estate Education Account funded the translation of the brochures.
