What Do Baby Boomers and Millennials Share?

-
This year there are more  healthy and happy people over the age of 65 than ever before. At the same time, millennials have surpassed Baby Boomers as the largest generation. Millennials are on track to be the most educated generation to date, but this achievement has come at a cost. Many millennials are struggling with student debt. In addition to the weak labor market of recent years, student debt is perhaps one reason why many are still living at home. Despite being in different financial life cycles, Millennials and Baby Boomers report feeling upbeat about their financial future. 

 Like Baby Boomers, Millennials are also heavily swayed by the input of their family and friends when choosing a product or service. Both of these groups prefer an enthusiastic introduction over the thought of the unknown. 

 It's important you know that I skillfully work with first-time home buyers as well as folks who have bought and sold many homes. 

 The next time you notice a person who is young or young-at-heart who would benefit from my help, call or text me immediately. I promise they'll be delighted that you introduced.

Curious about the Real Estate Commision Ruling?

    Are you aware of the settlement reached by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) in a class action lawsuit last week?   This settlement could potentially have significant implications for the real estate market, particularly in regions with high property prices, like ours.   The lawsuit alleged that NAR's rules and practices regarding the sharing of commission between buyers' and sellers' agents stifled competition and inflated housing costs.

Greater transparency in commission rates might lead to increased competition among real estate agents and potentially lower costs for consumers. However, it's esse
