During the Great Recession, the National Association of Realtors® analyzed that nearly 9.3 million homeowners underwent a foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or a short sale. After sitting out of the market for several years to rebuild their credit, these former homeowners are slowly coming back to the market looking for another chance at homeownership.

The advantage may seem clear: a seller can eliminate – or partially eliminate – the broker commission and keep the maximum possible profit from the sale.

NYSAR is launching a new online media campaign. It will show the benefits of working with a New York State REALTOR® when selling a home. A creative and humorous, shareable video casts the REALTOR® as a “trusted wingman” in guiding consumers to make good decisions. The online advertising campaign, on various digital networks, will be used to drive consumers to the new NYSAR.com consumer “Wingman” branded landing page. They will learn more about the value of working with a REALTOR® and use our Find a REALTOR® tool connecting to members in their own area. Click here and “Share” the video today!
