Does
the thought of a later life move overwhelm you? Are you having trouble
deciding if you should remain in your current home, downsize to a
smaller, more manageable home, or move to a senior apartment or retirement
community for active adults? 
Or
perhaps, are you the child of an aging parent who has recognized
the time has come to help your parent make some very important real
estate decisions.
Transitions
at any stage of life are difficult. But if you've lived in your home
for decades, raised your family there, and filled it with numerous
possessions and memories, the decision to make a change can open a new door to
adventures...or possibilities as a result of changing health care
needs.
With so many
options available today, it has become even more important for adults (55+), and seniors with
specialized needs, to hire a Realtor® who is specially trained in the
issues of aging.
A Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) is
just this type of realtor. The SRES designee is trained to help seniors and
active adults 55+ make wise decisions about selling the family home and options
available for life's next phase. They also offer knowledge about financing,
buying or selling a primary home or rental property, managing capital gains and
can also can explain current trends and opportunities for seniors in the housing
market.
Most Realtors® with the SRES ® designation work within an extensive
network of people who specialize in eldercare issues such as estate
planning, tax planning, reverse mortgages and so on, and can refer you
to qualified and trustworthy colleagues based on your special needs.
An SRES Realtor cannot give legal or tax advice. However, according to
the council, designees are urged to maintain referral relationships
with accountants and real estate attorneys so they can refer their
clients to those professionals as needed.
