Thanks Cheron! Thanks Erik! We think continuing education is really important and look forward to earning a couple more designations before the end of the year.

Congratulations, Patty. I, too, have my SRES designation and enjoy working with Seniors. Lots of people in our area have been in their homes 30+ years, and simply don't know where to turn for information or how to get started clearing out years of clutter. They really can use our help. Best of luck to you.

Patty- congratulations! This is a designation I have been thinking about. I know their are many opportunities to work with people in this market and having to skill to do so is very important. Have a great day!

Thanks Lottie! What are you finding is your greatest challenge in working with Seniors?

Thanks, Katharine! We believe this designation is going to become increasingly more important to people, as the needs of older home buyers/sellers often differ from their younger counterparts. The training for this designation helps us better understand those unique needs and be better able to anticipate and respond to them, allowing us to better serve the growing senior market.

Down here in FL EVERYONE needs to be SRES!!! BTW, don't forget the new law that goes into effect Oct 01, will allow reverse mortgages to be utilized to purchase homes.

Debbie, you should. Then visit a few senior living centers and get on their preferred Realtors list.

Congratulations on earning the designation!
