Seniors Real Estate Specialist in MN & WI

May 15, 2017 by jdurham Leave a Comment

Seniors Real Estate Specialist in MN & WI

Becky Durham is a certified Seniors Real Estate Specialist®!

What is a Seniors Real Estate Specialist®?

A Seniors Real Estate Specialist® has received extensive training in working with clients aged 55+ and their families and the challenges and issues they face. To earn the SRES® designation, a Realtor® must:

  • Complete the SRES® training course & pass the rigorous exam
  • Maintain active membership in the National Association of Realtors®
  • Maintain active membership in the SRES® Council

Expertise Working with Baby Boomers & Seniors

Becky and her husband John created and were the founders of the largest Boomers and Seniors Expos in both Wisconsin and Minnesota for a number of years in Hudson, WI and Woodbury, MN. 

Becky and Becky were the CEO/President and founder/creators of the real estate-related Boomers & Seniors Expos in both Hudson, WI, and Woodbury MN. Their specialization centers on assisting boomers and seniors who are deciding whether to age in place or transition to a new home that better fits their current and future physical/medical needs. Becky is a trained Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES), while John has a master’s degree in Safety along with a Building/Construction degree coupled with many years of serving as a real estate Aging-in-Place Specialist. Together, they provide expertise in helping both homeowners and concerned families of aging parents with home mobility assessments in determining whether there is sufficient ROI with potential home renovations. Their assessment also analyzes whether renovation plans allow for safe mobility should a family member have existing health issues, or should they develop unexpected health issues later on. When considering renovating a home for aging-in-place, selling your home, or buying a home, call us at 651-231-2191 for a no-obligation meeting. Meeting us in person allows you to learn more about how we can help you make the right decision that is best for you and your loved ones.
