What is SRES® - Eric McCartney

What to expect from your Seniors Real Estate Specialist

Helpful Transition Hints for Seniors - Eric McCartney Real Estate Broker, SRES®

Information on this page is Published by the SRES® Council, Seniors Real Estate Specialist

A REALTOR® who chooses to become an SRES® is rooted in a desire to help others. It means that Eric has respect for older individuals; has the ability to listen deeply and ask the right questions; knows how to communicate the old-fashioned way, with a handshake and a visit. Be prepared to sit and chat awhile. Eric will want to take time to get to know you and your family’s situation, as you’ll want to learn more about him.

An SRES® understands that this can be a stressful time for a family. It’s hard to deal with leaving a home after spending many years in it. Perhaps the parent would actually prefer to go on living there. Eric would like to understand the challenges that you all are facing in this major decision. By doing so, he can present all available options, so that the outcome is one that will suit your family’s needs.

At times, the amount of information coming your way may seem overwhelming. An SRES® is there to help by tailoring meetings to a senior’s needs. Don’t be afraid to ask as many questions as you’d like until you feel comfortable with the steps to the sales process and other potentially-complicated details. Eric may suggest taking breaks so you can absorb the information, and may want to break up the prelisting-process over several visits to your home.

Key steps in the process.

There will be a lot of ground to cover.

The following are some of the topics Eric will explore with you.

1. Housing options

2. Home adaptations

3. Meeting healthcare needs

4. Financial considerations

5. Legal considerations

6. Selling your current home.
