Buyer by Generation: Success in Every Segment
Success in Every Segment course was designed to cater to the agent who wants a better understanding of the generational differences between home buyers, and how to best serve them.
As a real estate professional, you have learned from experience that although no two homebuyers are ever the same, they do share some common tendencies based on life stages and generational groupings. A one-size-fits all approach to gaining and serving buyer clients overlooks generational characteristics. Awareness of generational tendencies can help real estate professionals adapt their communications, marketing, and face to-face interactions to provide the services that buyer-clients value.
After completion of this course you will be able to identify and describe the characteristics, expectations, and considerations of the following groups:
- Millennials
- Generation X
- Baby Boomers
- Silent Generation
