Why Turn to a SRE?
You’re considering selling your house. Perhaps you’re retiring, downsizing, or a big life event has led you to consider relocating. A Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®) has special training and expertise working with property buyers and sellers in your situation.
What is a Senior Real Estate Specialist?
Senior Real Estate Specialists (SRES®) are specifically educated for the problems and situations that people over the age of fifty encounter, including building a network of relevant senior professionals in disciplines such as estate planning and tax counseling, so that the SRES can deliver a genuinely exceptional client experience
To get the SRES® accreditation, agents must first complete a series of training courses on senior real estate problems and needs.
SRES agents are trained in no-pressure approaches to senior real estate needs, such as suggesting housing alternatives to purchasing a new home or ways that a senior may be able to age in place rather than downsizing or moving.
SRES® agents are also taught to discover senior services in communities so that persons may find the greatest community match for them if they wish to relocate.
