This national survey of 400 U.S. homeowners reveals how concerns about natural disasters are shaping real estate decisions — and what MLSs and brokers can do to help their agents address those concerns. The findings show that rising insurance costs, questions about property value, and uncertainty around disaster response are top of mind for consumers. Most importantly, the majority of homeowners believe it’s the real estate agent’s responsibility to disclose flood risk. That expectation puts agents on the front line for risk conversations and makes MLS and broker support critical. Inside, you’ll find actionable recommendations for providing agents with the data, education, and disclosure best practices they need to meet consumer expectations. From integrating risk information into listings, to offering training on interpreting flood maps, to developing member resources for disclosure compliance, this 10-page report offers practical steps you can implement immediately. Download your copy today and use it to strengthen trust, improve transparency, and position your agents as informed, reliable guides in an era of heightened risk awareness.
