This week, CENTURY 21 Chief Operating Officer, Greg Sexton, was live on Real Estate Today Radio sharing the results from the C21® 2013 Veteran’s Day survey in a conversation about veterans and homeownership.
As we approach Memorial Day weekend, honoring our veterans is top of mind. The survey, released for Veteran’s Day this winter, explores veterans’ opinions about purchasing a home.
The research reports that three of out four military families say homeownership is very important to them when returning home from active duty. When looking for a home, the top priority is space – space to run outside, space for their growing families indoors, both with bedrooms and living space.
In the interview, Greg Sexton shared, “Homeownership is about financial security and safety. The home is the place that allows each of us safety and refuge for our family and friends.”
CENTURY 21 has been committed to not only hiring veterans through the brand’s Recruiting America’s Heroes program, but also to serving military families looking to purchase a home. Greg commented, “Only about 10% of our returning veterans use the Veterans Affairs benefits available to them when finding a home. We are working with our CENTURY 21 Professionals to make sure they are aware of the benefits so they can share those with veterans in their own communities.”
