The year 2011 is going to see the retiring of the first of the baby boomer generation those born between 1946 and 1964 they will turn 65.
A lot of boomers have been retiring early - age 50- and Port Charlotte - Florida between other cities in the state will continue to attract more of them.
One of the NAR's designation is the SRES- Seniors Real Estate - is a program that instructs realtors to ethically serve the industry and the needs of buyers 55 years and up.
I was on floor time when a couple with plans to retire in Florida visit the office looking for a Senior Real Estate professional. I decided to take the course this upcoming 2008.
The course consisits of two day classes with an 80% passing grade of the exam, be an active member of the NAR, and mantain an active membership in the SRES council with an annual membership fee of $ 99 .
During this year I completed two of my designations, the ABR ( I am still waiting for my certificate) and Member of the Luxury Home Marketing. There is enough spare time to invest in designations.
73 million of boomers are ready, are you?
