What is a Seniors' Real Estate Specialist?

 The Senior Advantage Real Estate Council (SAREC) is an organization of real estate agents specializing in servicing the unique lifestyle needs and concerns of maturing Americans when buying, selling or investing in real property.  Its "Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation identifies members, who must be members of the National Association of Realtors and who have completed a specific, proprietary certification program qualifying them to specialize in servicing the 55 year old and above market.

SAREC is recognized by the National Association of Realtors but is not owned or authorized by the 760,000 real estate professional member organization.  SRES designees are trained to 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, REALTORS have demonstrated that they have the requisite knowledge, experience and expertise to be a Seniors Real Estate Specialist and counselor.

Less than 1% of REALTORS nationally have qualified to this prestigious and internationally recognized designation.  SAREC has members in all 50 states and Canada.
