"Professional athletes buy real estate, frequently – that's a fact," said Brian Ouellette, Co-Founder of Pro Athlete Direct. "But, they might need even more help than the average home buyer. Pro athletes are often quite young and have substantial money to put into a real estate. That's great, with the average purchase price being north of $1,300,000, but it also leaves them vulnerable. They need good representation from people they can trust, in the cities they tend to gravitate towards."
Pro Athlete Direct offers realtors a unique ability to connect with the sports agents who represent professional athletes. "We help realtors become a trusted member of the athlete's 'home team,'" said Ouellette. The company maintains a large database of professional athletes and (most importantly) their sports agents, a valuable resource for realtors open to work with professional athlete clients.
Pro Athlete Direct has identified a distinct opportunity for realtors who want to take action today to dramatically increase market share by tapping into the underserved pro athlete market. The infographic shows, for example:
Athletes earn significant money but need high quality real estate advice: Professional athletes earn an average of $1.6 million per year. Yet, professional athletes tend to run into challenges in finding good representation for their real estate transactions, especially when they come into a new city. They need sound real estate guidance.
Athletes buy a lot of real estate, frequently: Unlike the average American, who buys a $191,600 house every 7 years, professional athletes typically buy a $1.3 million house every 1.8 years.
100% of athletes have real estate needs on the buy, sell, lease and/or investment sides.
Athletes are a high referral client base, due to the uniqueness of the industry. For many of the most successful realtors across the US & Canada, referrals are the keys to the game.
