How Knowing This Crazy Statistic can Make You a Better REALTOR
Did you know that more people in America have pets than children? It's true!
20 years ago, 48% of American families had kids at home. Today, that number is down to 40%.
On the other hand, the number of Americans with pets has increased dramatically, from 56% in 1988 to 70% today.
As REALTORS, this information is valuable to us because it affects our conversations with buyers. When talking to potential buyers, we should ask if they have pets and if their pet will impact their home buying decision. Many people will engage in conversation about their pet's needs and how important they are to the family.
But what if we took it a step further and specialized in working with families that have pets or selling homes with pet-friendly features?
This could be a complete differentiator in the market, as it's not a common focus for REALTORS. Sometimes we need to think outside the box to stand out.
