Edie Spaulding was the first REALTOR® in the Greater Ithaca area to hold the Seniors Real Estate Specialists [SRES] designation. Seniors Real Estate Specialists are licensed salespeople or brokers, members in good standing of the National Association of REALTORS®, who have taken the additional hours of training needed to help senior clients make wise decisions when buying, selling or investing in real estate.

SRES designees belong to the Senior Advantage Real Estate Council (SAREC) which offers the SRES designation nationally to those REALTORS® who have demonstrated the requisite knowledge, experience, insight and expertise to be a Seniors Specialist. The Council also offers its members frequent updates on senior housing issues.

Advanced courses in real estate economics use a "two-thirds/one-third" rule. The first two-thirds of most people's lives are spent acquiring and leveraging assets while the last one third of most people's lives is spent earning income (i.e., generating cash flow) from those previously acquired and leveraged assets. Many seniors have not invested or sold in years and their issues, requirements and needs are special in order to protect and enhance their equity. We'd be happy to provide you with the information you need to guide you through the process of making the best decisions for your particular set of circumstances. Simply select one or more of the following special reports or give Edie a call at 220-5350.
