Seniors Real Estate Specialist in Fort Collins, Colorado

What is a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES)?  Realtors with the SRES designation are specifically trained to serve the needs and interests of real estate buyers and sellers age 50 plus.  I received my SRES designation in 2007 because I saw a great need to provide the same type of specialization that we receive as we age in health care…so why shouldn’t we receive the same in our housing and equity as well?

Today’s seniors have unique needs and as an SRES, my goals are to:

• Learn of anyone who will be involved in the decision making
• Build trust and rapport
• Define your parameters
• Help you form realistic expectations
• Consider alternatives in some cases
• Learn your needs and goals, life stage, health and activity stage, and motives for buying or selling
• Find out how this purchase/sale fits into long-term plans
• Plan a strategy for finding the right property or plan a strategy for selling your home

Each individual has unique needs.  I can help you because I have…

• A solid comprehension of Federal Laws for Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA)
• Sensitivity to 50+ issues and priorities
• The devotion to provide reputable services that win and sustain trusting client and customer relationships

Purchase, Sale or Investment Housing Options:

• From communities that enable independent living to facilities that provide assistance and care
• Learn how pensions, 401K accounts, and IRA’s can be used in the purchase of real estate
• Examine how additional sources of income – Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security may impact your real estate decisions
• Look at all available financing methods including reverse mortgages

SRES designees are not qualified to give financial or legal advice.  That is why I have assembled a team of experts to help serve you.  My team will provide you with professional advice, council, and direct attention to your specific needs.

Looking for a home can be frustrating at times.  If you need additional information, I can provide you with relevant resources and answers to any of your real estate related questions.

Are you undecided about your next move?  Part of my SRES course was dedicated to understanding current market trends, recent research, and the pros and cons accumulated by National and Government programs in these areas of interest:

• Active Lifestyles
• Independent Living
• Assisted Living
• Continuing Care
• Care Facilities
• Age-restricted Communities

A customized approach to your real estate needs is one of the many services I will offer to you.  I have the knowledge and expertise to counsel you through major financial and lifestyle transitions involved in relocating, refinancing, or selling the family home.  My team and I will offer you the opportunity to complete a real estate transaction with the patience, professionalism and expertise you deserve.

 Are you looking for a dedicated real estate professional?  One that will take the time and effort to complete a transaction that meets YOUR standards?  Look no further!  My knowledge and experience in the 50+ market will open up the door for a well-paced successful real estate transaction.

I am also a member of the Elder Care Network (ECN) of Larimer County which is a collaboration of family members and community professionals working to help caregivers, their families and support groups join with their elders to plan transitions, explore options, and support life choices.  This website is a great local resource for family and caregivers to locate information and resources that support the process of caregiving.

The local Fort Collins newspaper, The Coloradoan, ran an article on my specialization working with adults over the age of 50…click here to read the article.
