17.3 million people in the US are of East and South Asian descent, according to the 2010 US Census.
And, according to Park, Asian-Americans are a great target market for home sales. Household income is higher than other households and...they prefer buying new homes! Park notes, "Asian-Americans are more likely to live in non-Asian communities."
As a homebuilder, how does your marketing respond to this information? We'd like to suggest a couple of ways: use CRM to help manage your prospects and, more importantly, utilize your co-op agent team to reach out to this community.
Co-op agents often specialize in specific markets -- ranging from relocations to 55+ to Asian-Americans. They consistently work with their target market and become known in their community as a reliable agent.
