At Realty ONE Group Esteem, we understand that selling a home later in life is more than just a transaction—a significant life transition. That’s why we’re proud to have agents certified as Seniors Real Estate Specialists® (SRES®) by the National Association of REALTORS®. These professionals are specially trained to help clients aged 50 and over navigate the unique financial, emotional, and logistical aspects of selling a home during retirement or downsizing.
What Is an SRES® Specialist? 
A Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®) is a REALTOR® who has completed advanced education focused on the needs of senior clients. The SRES® designation equips agents with the knowledge and network to support older adults in making housing decisions that suit their evolving needs and lifestyles.
This goes far beyond pricing strategies and curb appeal. SRES® agents are trained to consider factors like:
-
Planning for future healthcare needs
-
Helping connect with trusted financial and legal advisors
-
Navigating tax implications and retirement income concerns
-
Identifying age-in-place or senior living options
-
Supporting families and caregivers involved in the process
