What Is a Senior Real Estate Specialist and Why Should You Hire One?

Are you over 55, or do you have elderly parents considering a move? Selling the family home or buying a new one comes with unique challenges, and one wrong move can be costly and time-consuming. This post will explain how a Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) can save you time, money, and stress during this significant transition.

The Value of a Senior Real Estate Specialist

What exactly is a Senior Real Estate Specialist? It's more than just someone who's taken a class and earned a designation. While those credentials can be helpful, a true SRES has substantial experience specifically helping seniors navigate real estate transactions.

This means they possess:

• Experience: A track record of successfully guiding seniors through buying and selling homes.
• Market Knowledge: In-depth understanding of both the market where you're selling and, crucially, the market where you're looking to buy, especially if it's a retirement community. This is vital because, for many seniors, this will be their last move.
