What to Look for in a Senior Real Estate Agent

Look for real estate agents with the Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation, which indicates specific training in working with older adults. Beyond credentials, experience matters: ask how many senior clients they've helped in the past year and what percentage of their business involves downsizing situations.

A senior-focused agent should have a network of trusted professionals — estate sale companies, senior move managers, contractors who can handle quick updates — to help prepare a home for sale. They should also be patient with the decision-making process, understanding that selling a longtime home is an emotional journey.
