SRES®

Selling a senior’s home is different

Many homeowners have previously bought and sold homes. However, selling a senior’s home can be much more complicated, due to the number of unique issues and decisions—and sometimes the number of people involved.
Though seniors usually make the decision to sell, it is not uncommon for adult children to help them sort through these questions:
• Is moving the best alternative? If so, where? Have other options been explored?
• Are close family members on board with a decision to sell?
• What is the best way to downsize a lifetime’s worth of possessions and family heirlooms?
• What are the tax-related implications of a sale?
• What effects might a sale have on future income?

What is an SRES®?

A Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®) is a REALTOR who is uniquely qualified to assist seniors in housing sales and purchases. The SRES® designation is awarded only to REALTORS who have additional education on how to help seniors and their families with later-in-life real estate transactions.

They also draw upon the expertise of a network of senior specialists, such as estate planners, CPAs, and elder law attorneys, and are familiar with local community resources and services. Their mission is to help seniors and their families navigate the maze of financial, legal and emotional issues that accompany the sale of the home.

Many times, the assistance of professional organizers, cleaners, junk removal vendors, estate sale companies, etc are needed. Sara has a wonderful network of vendors to support you in all aspects of the process

Selling a home can be an emotional time, potentially involving other life decisions. An SRES® understands the issues facing older adults. By taking a no-pressure approach, they can help you navigate your choices and may be able to suggest alternatives that help you stay in your home.

Your SRES® will take the time needed to make you feel comfortable with the complex selling process. Your specialist understands the demands a sale can make on you and works hard to minimize them. They will tailor the marketing process to your specific needs, and be there when you need them.

Your SRES® is interested in looking out for your best interests through all aspects of your transition, not just the sale of your home. They’ve invested time in becoming an SRES® because they enjoy working with clients in your situation and helping others.

They've already identified other helpful experts, including tax counselors, financial advisers, and estate planners who can help you understand the financial consequences of selling your home; interior staging specialists and trade contractors to get your home prepared for showings; estate sale organizers, senior moving specialists and transitional coaches to deal with post-sale issues.

They’re familiar with active adult and community service organizations in your area. Your SRES® can provide referrals to a variety of resources at the local, state, and national level, and online. They’re knowledgeable about local senior housing options and can refer you to another SRES® if you’re planning to move outside the area.
