You've lived in the same town, and the same home for what seems like a lifetime. For thirty years you have watched neighbors move in and out of your subdivision. Your children, now grown, have kids of there own. They have moved away and now you are faced with questions of what or where to buy.

In the thirty years since you bought your first home the real estate market has changed.

It would be a wise choice to use a Senior Real Estate Specialist, a SRES Designee. A SRES Realtor is trained to assist seniors in decisions related to selling the family home, moving to a new home, and assisting in the selection of the right lifestyle of an active adult community.

SRES designees often take more time explaining the process of buying and selling in order to relieve the anxiety caused by lifestyle changes. For this active market segment there is no stereotypical "senior buyer". Senior specialist know there are many reasons their buyers enter into a real estate transactions at this age - From death of a spouse, being closer to grand kids, or just downsizing to a smaller home with no maintenance an SRES is trained to help clients make wise real estate investments.

To obtain the senior specialist credentials, agents must attend a course and pass an exam which covers areas of tax laws, probate and estate planning, and housing options for those clients fifty five and older. The course also explores areas of marketing to generational segments of the population such as the baby boomers, born 1945-1964.

While any Realtor can handle a transaction, it is an informed client that makes the decision to hire a Senior Real Estate Specialist. After all, the fees for working with an SRES do not cost anymore than the standard commission charged by a general real estate agent. So, why not work with a specialist?
