sres overview

An SRES agent is a real estate agent who has completed specialized training to serve the needs of seniors in real estate transactions. To become an SRES agent, the agent must complete a comprehensive course on topics such as senior housing options, finance, and legal considerations. SRES agents are also required to uphold a code of ethics and complete continuing education courses to maintain their certification.

Seniors may have unique considerations when it comes to buying or selling a home, such as accessibility, financing options, or the emotional impact of downsizing. An SRES agent has the training and experience to address these concerns and help seniors navigate the complex process of real estate transactions.

Downsizing can be an overwhelming process, especially for seniors who have accumulated a lifetime of possessions. An SRES agent can help seniors evaluate their belongings and decide what to keep, sell, or donate. They can also assist with finding appropriate storage solutions, coordinating with movers, and helping seniors adjust to their new living arrangements.

Seniors have a variety of housing options available to them, including independent living communities, assisted living facilities, continuing care retirement communities, and nursing homes. An SRES agent can help seniors evaluate their options based on their individual needs and preferences.

An estate sale is a sale of personal property, typically held after a loved one has passed away or during the downsizing process. An SRES agent can help seniors and their families manage this process by coordinating with appraisers, estate sale companies, and auction houses. They can also assist with packing, organizing, and liquidating personal property.
