Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe, Catch an Agent… (Part 4 of 4)

A Home is a great investment

What is an SRES®?

 

That is a question that I am asked quite frequently. It is usually accompanied by a curious facial expression. I am proud to respond by saying, “I am a Seniors Real Estate Specialist ®(SRES ®)”. I am a Realtor ®that is trained and qualified to address the Real Estate needs of Seniors. I have been awarded this special designation by the National Association of Realtors ®.

I was drawn to this designation after I noticed how many Seniors and Retirees live in my community. Being so close to Fort Polk, it is almost a foregone conclusion that many soldiers would choose to retire here. (I also came here because of a military move). I noticed all of the groups and organizations that were available to Seniors and Retirees. I thought to myself, “I want to understand the unique goals and needs of this segment of our population”. I did not see where their needs were being specifically addressed from a Real Estate point of view.

During my training I discovered that there are more benefits than I was aware of, available to Seniors and Retirees. I also discovered that there are many challenges and obstacles that stand in their paths.

It is my job as an SRES ®to help Seniors and Retirees navigate the maze of financial, legal, and emotional issues by connecting them with the benefits and services that are available to them. It gives me great satisfaction to use my knowledge and expertise to help Seniors and Retirees achieve their Real Estate goals.
