When searching for real estate why you should ask your wife or girlfriend to select your Hampton Roads-Virginia Beach home or condo.

We were on a mission to find a home in Virginia Beach in two days. It did not take long to figure out this women was in charge of all the details for their new real estate purchase. Just look at these reaffirming facts:

1. Women are earning more money and having a big impact in real estate deals in Hampton Roads and across the country.

2. Home builders are catering more to female home buyers and altering their marketing to attract
this group.

3. “The women influence” is about 90% when two partners are involved in decision making on the home or condo.

4. As the kitchen has become more of the “go to” place, women are spending extra time and money designing the perfect living area. A comfortable and efficient kitchen are a must for single women, families, and when entertaining.

5. Women are upfront with their wants and needs when purchasing a home or condo. Men tend to
be less demanding and more accommodating and not rock the boat.

6. Women like homes or condo’s with: Upscale and name brand appliances (stainless and
black)
