How to Upsize Your Client's Home for $300 Less a Month!
Hi , With the new norm, we've seen a rise in "work from home" arrangements across many employers. This has left families desiring a larger space for themselves. Typically, only 10% of your clients will consider moving each year. Below, is an opportunity which will help your clients in the 90% category potentially move this year.Please refer to the example below where your client can actually SAVE money by moving from their current townhome to a detached property in a similar area. The gap between a townhouse and a detached property has never been so low, and I believe this would be a great opportunity for your clients.
