Impress Clients With Local Market Insights Using RPRs Next Gen Neighborhoods Template

Knowing neighborhoods inside and out is essential for successful real estate agents. That’s because buyers aren’t just shopping for bedroom counts and square footage–they’re choosing a lifestyle, a community and possibly a long-term investment.

Positioning yourself as a neighborhood expert is easier than ever with RPR’s (Realtors Property Resource) Next Gen Neighborhood Template.

This new reporting interface, currently in Beta testing, is your ticket to being the “go-to” expert on local market trends, housing inventory, lifestyle factors and economic conditions. Building credibility with your clients is a breeze when you can confidently answer questions and deliver data about everything from home values to school ratings and commute times.

Note: Providing neighborhood information can be tricky and agents must make efforts to never “steer” a home buyer or seller. For guidance on providing objective neighborhood and school data while maintaining Fair Housing compliance, refer to NAR’s best practices.
