SRES® Designation
REALTORS® who want to specialize in the real estate needs of maturing Americans are earning the Seniors Real
Estate Specialist (SRES) designation by taking the new SRES course designed and conferred by the Real Estate
Buyer's Agent Council of the National Association of REALTORS®.
The SRES designation was originally developed by the Senior Advantage Real Estate Council 10 years ago to focus
on the needs of home buyers and sellers aged 50 and over. It became an official member of the NAR family of
designations in March 2007.
"Knowing how to best serve home buyers, sellers and investors at all stages of life is another way REALTORS® add
value to the real estate transaction," said 2007 NAR President Pat V. Combs, of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
