EDINA, Minn. – May 6, 2021 – Recently, Edina Realty launched espanol.edinarealty.com, a Spanish-language website that aims to empower Hispanic and Latino consumers to take control of the home buying and selling process, and to connect them with Spanish-speaking Edina Realty agents in Minnesota and western Wisconsin. The site contains helpful information for both buyers and sellers, including tips on visiting prospective homes and preparing your house for sale.
Espanol.edinarealty.com’s content was developed in partnership with Spanish-speaking agents on Edina Realty’s Diversity and Inclusion Team (DIT) and is tailored to the growing needs of the local communities Edina Realty serves.
Currently, 300,000 Minnesotans identify as Hispanic or Latino – nearly 6% of the state – and the Minnesota State Demographic Center projects that this population will grow by 83%, or a quarter of a million people, by 2053.1 Similarly, an estimated 7.1% of Wisconsin residents are Hispanic or Latino, and the community is projected to hit 1 million people, or 14% of the state’s population, by 2060.23
“This website is one piece of our ongoing efforts to better serve historically underserved communities in meaningful ways,” said Greg Mason, president and CEO of Edina Realty Home Services. “We’re excited about this new tool to connect with Spanish-speaking home buyers and sellers and look forward to continuing to strengthen our diverse communities in Minnesota and western Wisconsin.”
