As we age, we demand specialists for our medical needs, so why not for our real estate needs as well?

Consider this: You are a senior homeowner who has been living in the family home for the past 30 years. You plan to downsize to a condo or apartment, perhaps located nearer to your children. You begin looking into the different housing options available such as a retirement community or assisted living. However, unanswered questions cloud your thought process such as:

  • How much is my home worth?
  • Is there an optimal time to sell my home?
  • What are the tax consequences if I sell my home?
  • What should I do (and not do) to prepare my home for sale.
The National Association of Realtors (“NAR”) has identified those Realtors who have earned a specific designation called the Senior Real Estate Specialist (“SRES”). These agents are best equipped to assist seniors, and can add tremendous value and peace of mind to the overall sales process.

Stacy Zigman is one such designee. As a member of the Senior Real Estate Council, Ms. Zigman has not only successfully completed the educational requirements and other prerequisites necessary to earn her designation, but Stacy has 15 years of experience in helping maturing clients make life-changing transitions (such as relocating and selling the family home). Stacy’s specialized expertise allows her to do more than just spearhead the home selling process. Ms. Zigman can:
  • Recommend charity organizations and rubbish removal companies who can easily arrange for the donation or removal of excess furniture and other items that have been accumulated over the years.
  • Arrange for a senior homeowner to sell his/her home AS IS, significantly reducing the amount of work and headache in selling one’s residence.
  • Suggest the appropriate professionals to address issues that are important to seniors including tax, estate planning, and elder-law issues.
In addition to the knowledge, understanding and contacts Stacy has acquired through the SRES designation, Stacy’s empathetic nature makes her the PERFECT agent to work with senior homeowners. Ms. Zigman points out when working with a senior client, “I make certain that all their questions are answered and I encourage them to call me as often as they like.” She has received numerous letters from satisfied mature homeowners and their families over the years:

"When Stacy called the first time, I just wasn't ready to sell the house where I had raised four children over a period of 50 years. There was an occasional call from Stacy and our conversations were generally about everything but the house. She always demonstrated patience and sympathy with my plight. When I phoned Stacy with my decision to sell, she reacted promptly and gave all of her attention and expertise to the sale. Photos of the interior of my home were on Stacy's internet site within a short time. The house was on the market for just three months during which time, thanks to Stacy, I never felt inconvenienced or rushed. Our connection did not end at the closing. A few days after moving into my new home I received a beautiful plant from Stacy. And, along with personal messages, I look forward to her periodic emails." Catherine McGrath

“It was a pleasure working with you. You understood my fears and anxieties and did everything possible to make it easier for me. I would never hesitate to recommend your services to anyone I know who is interested in selling. Take care and good luck to you in the future.” Emily Reinhardt

“It was truly a pleasure doing business with you. What I appreciated most was your willingness to keep us informed of all details. Your phone calls to update us on mortgage dealings, contract and closing details gave us great peace of mind. Uncle Peter, who is 87, needed someone who was willing to go beyond just a business attitude. Your friendliness and caring will always be remembered and appreciated. Many thanks, Peter and Tom

Although you don’t have to choose a Senior Real Estate Specialist when selling your home, why wouldn’t you? After all, for most senior adults, the homes that they live in are their largest asset and account for most of their net worth!
