Millennials ... Written by a Millennial

Those silly millenials.  I think it is difficult to generalize with any group of people.  I have seen flakiness from people over 60 and others in their 20's know exactly what they want and are ready to commit.

Erin, thank you for the honorable mention all the credit goes to Marte Cliff  she beat me to the punch of writing.... love it and I look forward to the series, hopefully we will all learn something new. Love having the advantage, like someone who is an "insider" and is willing to share the "thought process":))Endre

Hi Erin, millenials may use different methods of communication, there's definitely a great pool of them as buyers as well as sellers, for me, just listen and give exactly what they're looking for in the fashion they're expecting to receive.

Erin - Millennials will certainly have the economic and financial power in the future, as they are just so huge in numbers. Although you can't say every millennial is the same, there certainly are some differences you can generalize about any and all generations.

Erin - I have a son who is a millennial. He's hard-working, earns a great living, owns his own home, and wouldn't own a Facebook account if you paid him. 

He works out every evening after spending 10 hours at a physically demanding job, and has NO patience with the people at the gym who are sitting around texting - or taking up space on the machines while talking on the phone about "hitting the gym." 

In other words, he's about the opposite of everything the "experts" say a millennial is. 

It really is best not to categorize people. 

The Millennial generation may not be major players in real estate at the moment but in the next five years they will be. I will make sure my Brokerage, brand, and logo are constantly in their view until then!

OK Miss Erin Bates  You are going to tease us with this one.  All of us are impatiently waiting to know how this relates...  

Hi Erin - Funny - I never thought of you as a millenial. You share some personal characteristics with some earlier generations (I'm thinking of us flower children :).

Erin Bates Yes, my son is awesome. On top of being a responsible person, he's a thoughtful and caring son. He does use his compuer for research sometimes - although he gets frustrated with that - and we use it for his bookkeeping because I convinced him that all those sorting functions make it easier. Other than that, his idea is that computers "Aren't real." 

Hi, I'm really happy to see that boomers are your favorite... at least for the moment!  :-)  Looking forward to the sequels on the millenial topic! 

Erin- I love your post and look forward to your futures millennial posts.  Generalizations are never good, are they?!  My millennial niece and her husband will be purchasing a home soon.  They married last year and are having the time of their life!

 It pays to learn as much as you can about others.  It's how we grow. 

Hi, Erin. Thank you for enlightening all of us. 

Shoot me an email or give me a call soon. 

Hi Erin -- I bet this will be a great series.  So happy to "see" you back and look forward to this series from the perspective of a millennial.
