    • they work with an agent (84%); and
    • they purchase a house sized around 1,540 square feet.
    So:
    Avg age of ALL buyers is 37
    57% of ALL buyers are first timers
    Avg age of first timers is 30

    "If you know your potential client, you can adjust your marketing to serve them well."

    Sounds like what you are implying is that YouTube is an effective way to market and present yourself, at least to these.

    ' correct a wise man and you gain a friend... correct a fool and he'll bloody your nose'.

    YouTube is useful, but just as any tool - like a hammer in a contractor's hand - you've got to know how to use it effectively.

    First step is to identifying your client, then
    develop your niche service, then understand what your clients want, and finally communicate using your website (possibly using YouTube, but it's not necessary.)
