Requirements to obtain your
SRES Designation
Adults aged 50 and older represent more than
20% of the U.S. population. For most senior
adults, the homes that they live in are their
largest asset and account for most of their net
worth. Completion of the Seniors Real Estate
Specialist (SRES®) Designation Course is an
essential step for real estate licensees in
understanding the distinct real estate goals,
concerns, and needs of seniors today.
This course looks at key differences in housing
options, from age-restricted communities to
age-in-place design to assisted living;
applications of the Housing for Older Persons Act
(HOPA); the ins and outs of reverse mortgages; the
use of pensions, 401k accounts, and IRAs in real
estate transactions; and developing a team of
senior specialists, including estate planners,
reverse mortgage lenders, clutter and staging
specialists, and more.
Three (3) requirements must be met to attain
and use the SRES® designation:
- Successful completion of the two-day SRES®
Designation course, including an 80% passing
grade on the exam.
- Maintain active membership in the National
Association of REALTORS®.
- Maintain an active membership in the SRES
Council.
The first year of membership in the SRES
Council is included with the SRES
Designation course fee. However, every year
thereafter will require payment of annual dues
of $99.
When you have completed the entire course and
passed the exam, you will need to complete an SRES
designation application. Once received by SRES,
you will be emailed a new username and password to
access the members only section of the SRES
website. Please call SRES at (800) 500-4564 with
any questions.
