Study Shows Home Buyers "One Stop Shopping"

Homebuyers overwhelmingly prefer “one stop” shopping, says a major consumer survey sponsored by The Real Estate Service Providers Council (RESPRO), Murray Consulting, and The Realty Alliance.

The survey of over 2,000 homebuyers found that 82 percent of those polled would “strongly or somewhat strongly” consider using one stop shopping services, including real estate brokerage services, mortgage lending, title insurance, homeowner’s insurance, home inspections and home warranties.

“It’s clear that consumers want a wide variety of choices from which to acquire home ownership services. This study confirms that consumers see all settlement service providers as needing to join forces to deliver a more satisfactory housing process,” said Steve Murray, President of Murray Consulting and Co-Editor of REAL Trends.
