How Millennials and Smart Homes are Changing Real Estate

Presented by Earth Advantage, this video course explains how Millennials and Smart Home are changing the way that real estate is purchased and sold. Millennials (individuals who were born between the early 1980s and late 1990s) are now the largest consumer segment in the U.S. and many have a different outlook when it comes to buying properties. This population segment is also hyper-connected to technology and these preferences are now apparent in real estate through smart home products and features. The "internet of things" (IOT) and connected-device market is exploding and the first products are already seeing widespread adoption.

Take this course and learn how to best meet a Millennial client's expectations and recommend smart home features.

This course will help you:
