Who are the Senior's Real Estate Specialists®?

   The Senior Advantage Real Estate Council®, "SAREC", was created several years ago to
   assist qualified REALTORS® wanting to meet the special needs and concerns of maturing
   Americans when buying or selling residential or investment properties. SAREC offers a specific
   designation, Seniors Real Estate Specialist, "SRES®", to identify those members who have
   successfully completed its education program along with other prerequisites.

   REALTORS with the "SRES" designation help seniors make wise decisions about selling the
   family home, buying rental property or managing the capital gains and tax implications of
   owning real estate. By earning the "SRES" designation, the REALTOR has demonstrated that
   they have the requisite knowledge, experience and expertise to be a senior's real estate
   specialist and counselor.

   Members offer their clients the benefits of: education & ongoing updates on senior RE issues,
   the national prestige of the "SRES" Designation, sources of direct senior Website/Internet
   Referral clients plus access to Contemporary Senior Housing from the "Active Senior Builders
   Group", a division of SAREC. All this along with custom designed quarterly newsletters full of
   specific housing data for their mature clients.

   Because America is maturing and over 80% of its contemporary seniors own real estate and/or
   are buying new properties, the Council provides its REALTORS with skills and knowledge to
   service the needs of this unique section of our community. Nearly 4 out of 10 property owners
   over 65 have lived in the same home for over 30 years. The issues facing these clients are
   unique and special.
