Buying a Home
Making an Emotional Purchase
Buying a new home when you’re 50+ can leave you with mixed emotions. On the one hand, a new beginning presents a lot of exciting opportunities. On the other, such a big change may overwhelm you with anxiety. An SRES® designee can help outweigh the negative emotions with the positive.
Buying with Confidence
Whether you know exactly what you want or are still sorting through the array of residential options for adults ages 50+, your SRES® helps you understand the best choices available to you. They sit down with you and your loved ones to discuss your needs, wants, and resources then outline a specific plan for you. The unique experience and training of an SRES® allows them to find properties, determine appropriate offers, and negotiate purchases on your behalf.
Tapping Into 50+ Expertise
SRES® designees have a deep well of resources that benefit you as an older buyer. A network of home inspectors, movers, attorneys, and CPAs experienced with adult buyers ages 50+ ensures the entire buying process, from purchasing to moving in, goes as smoothly as possible.
Selling a Home
Simplifying the Selling Process
There are a lot of moving parts in action when selling your home. For adults ages 50+, the often complex process can be made more difficult due to physical and financial limitations, and the strong emotions connected to your family home. Having an SRES® at your side can simplify selling your home every step of the way.
Five Essential Steps of Selling
- Pricing considerations
- Staging your home
- Showing your home
- Negotiating the sale and closing
- Packing and moving
Adapting Your Home
Adapting with Age
Most of us would prefer to age in our current home. But as health and aging issues make more areas of the home hard to access or pose a greater risk of injury, doing so can be difficult. We can begin to feel trapped and that selling our home is the only option. It’s not. Adapting your home to meet your aging needs is something your SRES® can help with when the time comes.
If health issues require you to move in with an adult child or any other loved one, your SRES® is there to help them with making the appropriate modifications to their home as well.

Senior Housing Options
Planning for Your Future Needs
You may not feel like a senior but for adults 50+, a variety of housing options known as senior housing are available to you. These options cover a broad spectrum from active living communities to those providing full and continuous care. Your SRES® is available to help you navigate these senior housing options as you age paying great attention to cost, location, services, amenities, activities, and current and future care needs.
