Hi, everyone. It is Thursday, and Thursday is Trivia Day. This week, we have been talking all about buyer's agencies, the nightmares when you don't use a buyer's agent, and some reasons why they should pick you as a buyer's agent. We have covered all the important aspects of helping our buyers.

Today, let's do a trivia question that stays true to our theme. What percentage of buyers in 2023 used a buyer's agent? Per NAR, the answer is 89%. Here are your multiple-choice options: 15%, 52%, 97%, 91%, or 89%. Make your guess in the comments, and maybe add a fun note like, "Only 13% had a nightmare of a closing because they didn’t use a cool agent like me." Let's make a couple of people smile with this fun trivia.
