Use this infographic to help clients learn these eight important hacks. Starting with the obvious, it's important to hire a good agent and real estate team. Furthermore, an agent will often have a team they work with to expedite deals seamlessly. Next, it's a good rule of thumb to always get three bids. This comes into play when selling or doing any home improvements. Three bids are a good idea so that competitive pricing can be obtained.
Another hack that may seem like a no-brainer but is a common mistake is to buy smart. Buying smart means buying with the future in mind and with realistic expectations. Also, buying smart means to purchase a home within your means. Under budget is best! Why? Because closing costs, repairs, and renovations always cost more than initially thought!
Our next hack leads us to listing a home at the right price. This is key because the wrong price can lengthen the selling process and make the situation much more stressful than it needs to be. As a seller, it's important to really consider the first offer, especially if they are willing to negotiate. The first offer typically means an excited buyer which is great for closing a deal that is a win-win.
Finally, be sure to be able to qualify for a loan easily or have creative back-up options and above all else, know when to walk away if a deal just isn't right for you.

Agents need to be aware of what millennials want because millennials are beginning to take up a lot of the real estate market! Millennials are ages 18-37 currently and over 82% of them are prioritizing buying a house. This group makes up over 35% of the homebuyer market, so, it's important to ensure agents know what they want.
Millennials want green features in their home. No, not the color! Good for the planet, green. Some examples of highly sought after features are solar and energy-efficient appliances. These buyers also need high speed wifi across their home. A lot of young people work from home right now and all of them use their phones at home so strong internet is a must.
Young people also have an affinity for public transportation - especially in urban areas. So, look for homes that are close to train stations, etc.
As far as aesthetics go, open concepts, minimal color, and new appliances and features are highly sought after. White and black are always in high demand.Be sure to use social media to highlight a property's instagram worthy features - this will help draw in buyers!
Some concerns for this particular group are affordability, maintainability of a property, and long wait times to purchase and/or move in.
Agents can solve millennial real estate issues by being well versed in what they want and what their concerns are!
