OUT-OF-AREA BUYERS CONTINUE TO SEARCH FOR REAL ESTATE IN SOUTH FLORIDA




It’s no secret that South Florida remains the hotspot for relocation. Buyers from the Northeast & Canada continue to flock to South Florida. The Broward, Palm Beaches & St. Lucie Realtors® launched a consumer ad campaign in May 2022.


 


The campaign connects the relationship between consumers and REALTORS® and portrays why REALTORS® are the trusted source when buying or selling a home. The Broward, Palm Beaches & St. Lucie Realtors® have been driving interested consumers back to their website OnlyARealtor.com, where potential customers have been learning more about REALTORS® and South Florida.
