New Agents: How to Meet the Needs of Younger Buyers
In 2020, Millennials were the largest group of homebuyers. As the pandemic wore on, older members of Gen Z stood up and made a showing in the market. Both younger generations will continue to be well-represented in the coming years. This is why Homesale Realty focuses plenty of attention on them!
Millennials and Gen Z are very different, but you're likely to work with both:
- Millennials
The oldest Millennials are over 40. That cohort is sometimes known as "the Oregon Trail Generation" to distinguish it from younger peers. The Millennial age range runs 1981-1996, so the youngest Millennials are now in their mid-20s.

Have You Updated Your Video Strategy Lately?
Video is some of the most popular content online.
On the whole, video is more likely to be viewed, remembered, and shared than other content. The presence of a video on a page can positively influence consumers' behavior even when they don't take the time to watch it!
Video content is one reason why Homesale Realty excels in today's digital landscape.

New Agents: Know Your Neighborhoods
Your customers aren't just buying a house. They're also choosing a neighborhood. You might wonder why Homesale Realty emphasizes this so much.
The answer is simple: When customers perceive you as a neighborhood expert, they are more likely to value your expertise highly. That doesn't just mean parting with your commission more enthusiastically (though that's nice, too.) It means recognizing your unique insight and giving you the benefit of the doubt when it matters.
A little cooperation goes a long way, especially when you're still learning the ropes!
Knowing the local neighborhoods inside and out isn't just about launching your career, however. It also helps you grow your business to the size and scope you want. A genuine "neighborhood expert" has value to offer that few others can beat, no matter how they choose to brand or which buyers they appeal to. In the end, it all comes down to a neighborhood.

Selling a Property 'Sight Unseen'
Would you buy a home without ever stepping inside? A growing number of your clients would!
One of the biggest reasons why Homesale Realty agents thrive is our ability to adapt to trends in the real estate world. While buying a home "sight unseen" wasn't invented in 2020, it became more popular and accepted.
It is not unusual for investors to buy without ever setting foot inside a property. As more agents have learned the best ways to use virtual and video tours, however, that option is growing more attractive to the average buyer. Virtual tours let them extend the radius of their search while traveling less.
Unfortunately, there are some unique risks for both the listing broker and the buyer's broker.

Personal Touches That Leave Lasting Impressions
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.
