It is awarded to REALTORS® who have successfully completed the education program in senior real estate.
In order for me to be considered a REALTOR®, I must be a member of NAR and adhere to the National Association of REALTORS® Code of Ethics.
To successfully earn the SRES® Designation, a REALTOR® has to demonstrate the necessary knowledge and expertise to counsel clients age 50+ through major financial and lifestyle transitions involved in relocating, refinancing, or selling the family home.
