It’s a heartfelt, unexpected way to honor the role parents play in building strong homes—both literally and figuratively. Whether you’re working with first-time homebuyers or seasoned investors, this day gives you a chance to connect with your audience on a personal, feel-good level.

4. Social Media Ideas

• Invest early
  CTA: “Share what your parents passed down—and what you wish they had!”

🎥 Reel/TikTok: “Mom & Dad Mortgage Advice—Fact or Fiction?”
What to do: Act out or voiceover common “parental advice” about buying a home, then bust the myth or confirm it.
