As the population ages, real estate professionals must have the knowledge and skills to serve seniors through major financial and lifestyle transitions. The Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®) designation is designed to provide you with the tools and expertise to do just that.

Housing Options for Seniors

In this course, you will learn about the key differences in housing options for seniors, from age-restricted communities to assisted living. Understanding these options will help you guide your clients toward the best living arrangements for their needs.

Applications of the Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA)

You will also learn about the Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA) and its applications in real estate transactions. This knowledge will enable you to navigate the legal requirements for age-restricted communities better and ensure that your clients are protected.

Reverse Mortgages and Retirement Accounts

Another critical aspect of serving seniors is understanding the ins and outs of reverse mortgages and how to use pensions, 401(k) accounts, and IRAs in real estate transactions. This knowledge will allow you to help your clients make informed decisions about their financial futures.

Social Security and Medicare

You will also learn how Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security affect real estate decisions for clients over 50. This understanding will enable you to give your clients more comprehensive and holistic advice.

Protecting Clients from Mortgage Schemes

Finally, you will learn how to recognize and protect clients from mortgage finance and loan schemes that target borrowers aged 50 and over. This knowledge will help you safeguard your clients' financial interests and prevent them from falling prey to scams.
