Houses: From the Ground Up

$29 | 4 Credit Hours

$59 | 8 Credit Hours

With a new birth occurring every eight seconds, America will expand to 400 million people within 40 years. Today, the average American moves every five years. To remain competitive, agents must be attuned to the rich diversity of our population. This is your chance to develop the understanding and insights to connect with individuals across a wide range of markets.

There are many challenges to helping others find suitable housing. One of the biggest is to effectively answer simple questions about housing structure and condition. That’s why we’ve put together this special OnDemand video course. In it, you’ll learn the language of houses and how they are built—plain and simple.

You’ll review the vast array of buyers and seller active in today’s market as well as the future. This course focuses on helping you understand what is important to them, their resources, and how they make decisions. You’ll look at the unique traits of four groups: Matures, Baby Boomers, Generation Xers, and Millenials. As over 23 percent of sales are to single women, you’ll learn about the increasing importance niche markets hold within each generation – and what they suggest for the future.

Big changes come from small steps. In this course, you’ll learn how to create a plan and follow through with it to achieve financial freedom. Many people want to save more, but don’t know where to start or lack restraint to stop spending. Just because your clients qualify for a certain loan amount doesn’t mean they can afford it. Clients who understand how to budget correctly can make effective and smart decisions when making any purchase, including home buying. Learn how to live on what you earn!

Red flags always cause negotiations and can threaten sales, but they can be especially troublesome in a buyer’s market, when buyers can afford to be picky about many issues.
