What Is a Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®)?
The Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®) designation is awarded by the National Association of REALTORS® to agents who complete specialized training in the housing needs of older adults, covering the financial and emotional considerations, family dynamics, and decision-making that often come with later-life moves. Ashley brings this training to every senior-focused transaction, alongside a client-first approach to representation.
Financial Considerations for Seniors Selling a Home
A few general facts are worth knowing when a long-time home is part of the picture, though none of this is a substitute for advice from an accountant or financial advisor familiar with your specific situation.
Homeowners who meet certain ownership and use requirements can exclude a significant portion of the profit from a home sale from federal taxable income — a rule that often matters most for someone who has owned and lived in the same home for decades, since that's exactly the situation it's designed to help. Massachusetts also offers property tax relief specifically for seniors, through local exemptions administered by each city or town, and a separate state income tax credit called the Senior Circuit Breaker for eligible homeowners and renters aged 65 and older. Eligibility and amounts for both vary by town and by year, so confirming current details with a local assessor's office or tax professional is the right next step for anyone who thinks they might qualify.
A Calm, Respectful Process
Clients and families value Ashley's ability to explain options clearly, reduce stress during emotional decisions, act as a steady and trusted advisor, and coordinate communication among family members. Every recommendation is tailored to personal goals, comfort, and long-term outcomes.
