As seniors, you have specific needs when it comes to real estate – and there’s more to it than just assisted living facilities or retirement homes. Like all homebuyers, you have your individual needs. You may want to live somewhere with plenty of entertainment and recreational options. Or, you may prefer a quieter and more peaceful community. What’s important is that you find a place where you can feel right at home.
Equipped with specialized skills and knowledge, an SRES is aware of all of this. You can count on them to find a home that is a perfect fit and addresses all of your present and future needs. These can include general home features such as one-story floor plans, senior-friendly bathrooms, and no-step entries.
SRESs are also well trained in the requirements of the Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA), so they know which housing developments and communities are designated specifically for seniors. This is knowledge that ordinary real estate agents don’t have, and a huge advantage you can benefit from by working with an SRES.
