As I’ve worked with buyers and sellers, I’ve seen the growing need to help those clients 50+ years – and those with family members 50+ years – with unique real estate needs. 50% of my clients in 2015 were over the age of 50. I’ve helped buyers purchase homes in senior communities, and I’ve helped clients sell the family home as a parent went into care, moved in with relatives or passed away. Probates and Trusts require different forms than sales of homes where title is held by an individual or couple, different disclosures.
The needs of those wishing to age in place or downsize can be complex. Is there a Reverse Mortgage involved? Is there a problem with the title? Many experiences with clients who had age-related real estate issues led to my studying for and earning the National Association of Realtors’ designation of Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES).
Here’s information from the National Association of Realtors on what it means to be an SRES and why it should matter to you:
