Senior Real Estate Video ~ Understanding Senior Issues in Home Selling

If you are a senior needing help with selling your home, or a family member looking for help when it comes to a probate or estate sale, it's important that you work with the proper real estate professional.

A "SRES" is a Senior Real Estate Specialist, designated by the National Association of Realtors is that professional, one who is trained to have an understanding of senior issues.

In California you can have a wide variety of issues including a senior who is on, or has received Medical. The sale of a home maypossibly trigger unplanned consequences at an already difficult time.

Another probate/estate issue could include a senior with a reverse mortgage on the home. As a broker I've experienced one estate that found the property in foreclosure as a misunderstanding of the payoff rules upon the death of a a loved one.

Then there was another time where one of the heirs (of an estate) purchased the family home only to find it was re-assessed when the proposition 58 family transfer was denied. After much work and follow up, the re-assessment was reversed and it saved that family member thousands.
