An introduction to Certified Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES®)
Some of the most important decisions you will make in your life will happen as you lay your plans for your retirement years. When faced with an ideal situation, it is easy to say, “I want it all.” But, for most it takes planning and fine tuning to make the senior years comfortable and manageable. As you begin your aging in place planning, you will run into many decisions and challenges. Having experts on your side to help you determine your needs and prioritize them will go a long way towards alleviating stress and give you guidance during a time you most need it.
One of the first decisions you will need to make is whether to purchase a new home designed to help you age in place or for you to redesign your current living quarters to meet your aging needs. If you are looking to purchase a home or sell your current one, the Seniors Real Estate Specialists® are here to guide you.

What is an SRES®?
Certified Senior Real Estate Specialists are qualified to address the needs of home buyers and sellers age 50+. The SRES designation is awarded to National Association of REALTORS® member agents who have successfully completed its education program.
We are Certified Senior Real Estate Specialists. By earning the SRES® designation, we have demonstrated necessary knowledge and expertise to counsel clients age 50+ through major financial and lifestyle transitions involved in relocating, refinancing, or selling the family home. We have received special training in these areas and are prepared to offer the options and information needed in making these life changing decisions.
What Does SRES Mean to Me?
A Certified Senior Real Estate Specialist is trained to help you through your aging in place home search, financial options and changing – sometimes complicated – laws that may be different now from the last time you went through the buying or selling process. An SRES® knows the ins and outs of buying a home for aging seniors and, backed by his sensitivity and understanding, an SRES® will have the ability to counsel senior clients through financial and lifestyle matters.

Where Can I Begin?
There's almost always an emotional element associated with selling a long-time home. We get calls all the time from family members that are concerned about themselves, their parents, and their loved ones that are getting older and need to make a change in their living situation. In these cases, you really need a REALTOR® with senior experience, knowledge and marketing savvy.
We not only can create a customized approach to marketing and selling your property, but we can also work with you to explore your housing options to ensure that your next home best serves your current and future needs.
We have special knowledge about everything from reverse mortgages and the importance of universal design to the uses of pensions, 401k accounts, and IRAs in real estate transactions.
We can also help you steer clear of loan schemes and scams that victimize aged 50+ borrowers.
And when you need help from other professionals, we can tap our network and put you in touch with qualified home inspectors, movers, attorneys, CPAs and other experts.
