Who Are the Senior Real Estate Specialists®?
Seniors Real Estate Specialists® are REALTORS® qualified to meet the special needs and concerns of maturing Americans. A national program since 1998, The Senior Advantage Real Estate Council® (SAREC®) offers a specific designation, SRES®, to identify those members who have successfully completed its education program along with other prerequisites.
By earning the SRES® designation, I have demonstrated necessary knowledge and expertise to counsel senior clients through major financial and lifestyle transitions involved in relocating, refinancing, or selling the family home. I have received special training, get regular updates, and am prepared to offer the options and information needed in making life changing decisions.
Here are some links to interesting and informative websites or publications designed especially for seniors. I am a resource, but please remember to consult with your tax advisory or attorney for professional guidance.
