Why Realtors® should care about Smart Growth

(1 min read)

Smart Growth is the growing trend for American communities. At its core, it is about the mixed-use communities that are in high demand for millennials, empty-nesters and businesses alike.

For Realtors, Smart Growth means looking beyond the interior characteristics of a home to offer details such as the distance from their home to work, the ease of access to restaurants and shopping, the nearness of parks, walking paths and schools. It is the total package that today’s buyers are looking for when buying a home.

It’s also the total package that helps drive economic growth. A Smart Growth community helps attract business investment because it is attractive to prospective employees of every pay grade.

Smart Growth is smart business and attractive to home buyers. It’s worth getting to know better on behalf of your community and your clients.

The Real Estate Community PAC, in partnership with GAAR and CARNM, is hosting this Thursday's "Smart Growth for the 21st Century" class. Hopefully, you've made time to attend. If not, we will be providing highlights and other ways to get involved after the class.
