Buyers seeking a second home often have very different needs compared to those buying their first property. One of the biggest reasons why Homesale Realty is preferred for second homes is our knowledge on this topic.

Here are some of the ways second home buyers might be distinct from others:

• They tend to have more disposable income and can make competitive offers on more properties

• They have clearer long-term plans for properties they buy: investment, income, or inheritance

One reason why Homesale Realty is so effective is deep client relationships – and the benefits they bring.

According to the National Association of Realtors, more than 90% of customers surveyed said they would use their real estate agent again. They are even enthusiastic to recommend their agent to others soon after a transaction. However, only a small fraction actually ends up using the same agent more than once.

The sad reason why? They simply forget their old agent – name and all!

This effect costs real estate agents big opportunities for life-long transactions and referral business. After all, the lifetime value of any customer can be very high. Although most people go five years or more between home buys, every satisfied client may be able to send you one referral a year.

Like January 1st, the arrival of spring is among those once-a-year milestones almost everyone takes time to recognize. After the heady hope of New Year's resolutions, though, spring is the perfect time to get down to the nitty-gritty and course correct in practical ways to strive toward your goals.

Staging a home can raise its value and help you get to closing sooner. But staging isn't just about fresh-baked cookies in the oven! One reason why Homesale Realty team members consistently move homes faster than the competition is our modern approach to staging each home.

Telling the story of a home's unique value is at the heart of real estate. Staging is one more tool to do it!

With the growing popularity of home renovation and flipping shows, many of your clients have probably heard about staging. They might even have experienced it firsthand. Average sellers may know that they need to tidy up and use natural light, but they don't know enough about staging to make a big difference.

That gives you an amazing opportunity to add value they can see in their bottom line on closing day.
