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.
