senior real estate specialist

What is an SRES? 

An SRES is a Realtor who is uniquely qualified to assist seniors in sales, purchasing, refinancing of residential or investment properties. They also draw upon the expertise of a network of senior specialists, such as estate planners, CPAs, and eldercare lawyers, assisted living homes and are familiar with local community resources and services.


In Canada, Baby Boomers and Retirees represent nearly half of the population. For Canada’s adults aged 50+, the homes they live in are their largest asset and account for most of their net worth. As buyers and sellers, these consumers have very distinct real estate goals, concerns, and requirements.


What does an SRES do? 

SRES are educatedin marketing strategies and counselling tips; finance, tax, and estate planning considerations; and developing a team of experts and service providers. Understanding generational demographics, discussing the myths and realities of aging, learning how baby boomers are changing retirement. 


As we age, we demand specialists in our health needs, so why not in our housing and equity needs as well?
