Seniors: Transition Smoothly to a New Living Situation

Working with the Senior population in real estate requires a unique combination of skill, empathy and specialized knowledge.

The SRES® designation provides in-depth knowledge of the financial and emotional aspects of moving for clients aged 50 & older, including expertise in areas such as downsizing, aging-in-place options and navigating retirement communities or assisted-living transitions.

Finkelstein holds the NJ Real Estate designation as a Seniors Real Estate Specialist®- (SRES®). This training allows him to approach every transition with patience, empathy and a focus on long-term well-being.
