FIND YOUR REALTOREvery real estate client has unique needs, whether they are buying, selling or both. This is especially true for those over the age of 50 and individuals who may be assisting older family members.

Real estate can be overwhelming for clients, even in the simplest of situations. The right Realtor will help clients understand the process to make more educated decisions, and for seniors, that means working with a Senior Real Estate Specialist® (SRES).
Agents who have earned the SRES® designation and only work with seniors actively made the decision to do so because they truly enjoy helping navigate life’s transitions.
Many of these agents have either made a similar transition themselves or have experience helping their own relatives. Whatever the reason they chose this designation, the bottom line is these agents truly love helping people.
All of life’s transitions require something different, from being newly retired or an empty nester to a widow or widower.
Each has its own set of adjustments and decisions that come with it, not just where to live. Senior specialists listen to all concerns and offer potential solutions and resources to help simplify the decision making process. Thanks to their focus on seniors, these agents better understand which available properties are the closest to fulfilling an individual’s needs as well as where clients can find valuable resources.
An SRES® understands that major life changes are rarely easy, but they won’t shy away from difficult topics or emotions that often come with these decisions.
Because they understand that priorities change when life does, they will help find the solutions that will make the transitions smoother.
Simply talking through senior issues is not enough for an SRES®.
These agents truly get involved with the senior community, volunteering or developing relationships with senior-centric agencies and individuals. They not only help their clients, but also seniors throughout the community, remaining a valuable resource long after the business relationship has ended.
