Description

State Requirements

Did you know that a report issued by Census.gov, An Aging Nation: The Older Population in the United States, notes that “In 2050, the population aged 65 and over is projected to be 83.7 million”? That’s almost double what that population numbered in 2012. This population group’s numbers are rising fast, and that adds up to opportunities for licensees.

The senior market needs the services of real estate professionals who understand its unique real estate needs. Working with seniors comes with some of its own challenges, concerns, and rewards. A comprehensive understanding of the particulars and practicalities of this market segment will equip licensees to serve older adult clients with the respect and honor they deserve.

In this course we’ll explore best practices in addressing the distinctive considerations in the senior marketplace. Course highlights include:

Senior market stats in the U.S.
Important financial and lifestyle considerations for older clients
Seniors and legal competence
Senior seller and property preparation for listing
Four significant considerations for older adult buyers
Potential snags and how to overcome them
Options in senior adult communities, both traditional and noteworthy
Housing programs for low-income seniors
The senior market as a niche
