AARP defines a senior as a
person age 50 or older and states, every 7 SECONDS an American turns
50!
The Seniors Real Estate
Specialist designation was developed to focus on the needs of home buyers and
sellers age 50 and older. It is awarded only to Real Estate Professionals who
have successfully completed the SRES educational program.
Why Work With a Seniors
Real Estate Specialist?
As we age, we have different
real estate needs and desires then those of younger consumers. The senior group
is broken down into two age groups based on their typical needs ad desires. Age
50 - 64 and 65 and older.
Along with their solid
foundation as a Realtor, a Realtor who is also a Seniors Real Estate Specialist
has the knowledge, understanding and empathy to guide both segments of the
senior generation through the residential purchase and sales process.
The Senior Real Estate
Specialist can also inform seniors of the options that may be available to them,
such as, Senior Citizen Property Tax Relief and Reverse Mortgages. In addition,
many SRES have extensive networks with other professionals: accountants, estate
planners, attorneys, tax advisor's, etc, who specialize in working with and
meeting the needs of seniors.
If you are 50 years old or
older, considering the sale or purchase of a home or if you are responsible for
the sale of an aging family members home, please contact me.
I look forward to guiding step
by step through your next real estate transaction.
I appreciate
referrals!
