Real estate needs change as we age. Whether downsizing, relocating to be closer to family, or moving into a retirement community, these transitions can be emotional and complex. As a Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®), I’m trained to support older adults through every step of the real estate process—helping them feel confident, informed, and cared for.
What Is an SRES®?
An SRES® is a real estate professional who has completed specialized training to serve the 50+ market. This designation gives me the knowledge and tools to handle senior-focused transactions with sensitivity, integrity, and professionalism.
Why Seniors Need a Specialist
Real estate decisions later in life often involve more than just buying or selling a home. There may be:
- Financial considerations such as retirement income or estate planning
- Emotional attachments to a longtime family home
- Health or mobility concerns
- Coordination with adult children or caregivers
An SRES® understands these challenges and offers guidance tailored to seniors’ specific goals and timelines.
How I Support My Senior Clients
- Patience and empathy: I understand this is more than just a transaction—it’s a major life change.
- Resources and referrals: From estate planners and elder law attorneys to moving services and senior communities, I connect clients with trusted professionals.
- Clear communication: I make sure every step is explained in simple, jargon-free terms, keeping all parties informed and comfortable.

“I don’t know where to begin with a recommendation of someone who walked into your life when it felt like it was all falling apart and made it so much better. After our mom passed away suddenly, and we were left to find a real estate agent we could trust with her specialized sale, the only person that came to mind was Sandra. Even with that she exceeded expectations. Not only did she come and explain step-by-step what the process would be in an estate situation, but she personally oversaw every single aspect—down to sweeping the garage herself the day of closing! She navigated difficult waters of HOA issues and never failed to keep us informed. Her recommendations for updates and her staging had our mom’s condo under contract the weekend it went on the market. I just cannot say enough great things about this agency, especially Sandra herself. Level of care is bar none the best I’ve ever had.”
