As we age, our personal, financial, social and other needs change. A mature adult would not go to a pediatrician for medical care; he or she would look for a doctor with experience and skill treating mature patients. The same logic should apply to choosing the services of attorneys, financial specialists or other professions.
Real estate is an important area of professional service to our seniors, and no one understands this better than OurSeniors.net, its Senior Transition Pro Team and Approved Vendors. The realtors and real estate sales people associated with OurSeniors.net fully understand the special needs of seniors when they buy or sell real estate. Seniors demand special professional expertise in a medical practitioner, so why not in a real estate professional as well?
There are a number of unique qualities in real estate transactions that involve seniors, including these-
- Unlike younger clients, seniors often have a very considerable equity in their homes and this is frequently a considerable portion of their net worth.
- In many cases senior clients are seeking to downsize homes as needs change.
- Seniors may be more interested in taking equity out of real estate or converting it to an income stream.
- There are special issues facing seniors, possibly including family members and caregivers.
- It may be necessary to modify some real estate practices to meet the special needs of older adult clients. These may include home staging, showing policies, e-signing and closing procedures.
- Some transactions require collaboration with experts or contractors who provide non-real estate related specialized services such as handicap access, etc.
- The realtor or sales agent must have an appreciation for older adults and their challenges, placing the senior’s interests above all other considerations.
