One-quarter of recent Texas homesellers had lived in their homes for at least 16 years. With a median tenure of eight years in a home before selling, many people are staying put for a long period. That doesn’t mean that marketing to recent seller clients is a waste of time. Satisfied clients are an excellent source of word-of-mouth advertising. If you don’t stay top-of-mind with those people, though, they may forget to recommend you as the years go by. And homeowners with no immediate plans to buy a new primary residence may still want your services for second homes, investment properties, and other real estate needs.
