Seventy-five percent of millennials recently surveyed by financial wellness website CentSai say they prefer the help of a local real estate agent<\/a> than an online agent. Seventy-one percent would also prefer to work with a local mortgage<\/a> lender<\/a>. They cited more desire for face-to-face collaboration, associating it with greater \u201chandholding,\u201d \u201clocal knowledge,\u201d \u201clongstanding relationships,\u201d and \u201cpersonal touch.\u201d CentSai surveyed more than 2,000 Americans aged 18 to 34.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe were surprised to learn that online providers are not yet as big a disruptor in this sector as we first thought, despite purported cost savings,\u201d says Doria Lavagnino, cofounder and president of CentSai. \u201cWe found that millennials place a high value on the personal touch and knowledge of a local agent. Buying a home for the first time is daunting, and working with a local agent\u2014particularly an agent referred by a parent or friend\u2014could provide peace of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

That said, the internet is still a crucial element in the homebuying process for millennials. Ninety-five percent of home buyers look for prospective homes and neighborhoods online, according to the National Association of REALTORS\u00ae\u2019s research.<\/p>\n\n
