To succeed in today’s market, we must continue to focus on what’s important to the consumers and our sales professionals such as offering much needed solutions to the challenges they face today which are much different than they were even two years ago.”
He continued: “Housing is a key driver of our economy and we have been effectively communicating to our consumers the many benefits that homeownership offers to families, communities, and businesses alike. Homeownership has a significant, positive impact on net worth, educational achievement, civic participation and overall quality of life. Owning a home is one of the best ways to build long-term wealth. In the past 12 years, a typical homeowner’s net worth has been 31-46 times that of renting. In addition, historically homeowners enjoy stable housing costs. In fact, studies show that fixed rate mortgage payments typically stay the same, while rent has increased at an average rate of approximately 3% per year in the last 10 years. As we focus on 2011, we will continue to position Prudential Florida Realty, Real Estate Services as Florida’s leading real estate company by delivering on the American dream of Homeownership.”
