Realtor® Survey Results
In October 2014 a survey of REALTORS® was conducted asking them to evaluate the impact of 19 potential disruptions or dangers to the real estate industry. Respondents were asked for their opinion about the impact of each danger on agents and brokers and not whether it would be positive or negative or even whether or not it is likely to occur in the future. The goal of the survey was to collect REALTOR® opinions on the question: Assuming that each danger did occur in the next 3 to 5 years, how much would it impact agents and brokers? Respondents rated each danger on a five point scale ranging from “No Impact” to a “Game Changer” impact. Reviewing the results, REALTORS® often agreed on the level of impact of each danger, frequently with at least three quarters of respondents believing some dangers would have a “Major Impact” or would be a “Game Changer”. The intensity was particularly strong in a few instances with at least half of REALTORS® indicating that a particular danger was a “Game Changer”. The survey results that follow are based on 7,899 responses reflecting an adjusted response rate of 5.8%.
