So what exactly is a Senior Real Estate Specialist?
Have you heard of a Senior Real Estate Specialist? If you are a senior or have a family member who is a senior, we highly recommend you work with a Realtor with a SRES® designation, as they are better educated & suited to cater to the needs of seniors. And lucky for you…. Jeremy is an SRES!
So what exactly is an SRES?
The Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®) designation is for REALTORS® who want to be able to meet the special needs of maturing Americans when selling, buying, relocating, or refinancing residential or investment properties. By earning the SRES® designation, REALTORS® are prepared to approach mature clients with the best options and information for them to make life-changing decisions.

Senior Client Testimonial:
“Friends referred me to Jeremy when I planned to sell my home in Raleigh to downsize to an apartment in a Senior Living Community near my family in Wisconsin.
Jeremy was amazing! He walked me through each stage of the complicated process of real estate sales. Contracts and legal requirements were explained in plain English. Recommendations to prepare my home for sale were practical and enhancing. As a result, my home sold immediately for much more than the listed price!
I would describe Jeremy Kaplan as the “Ideal Realtor” as he has that rare combination of integrity, knowledge, experience, patience AND personality. I have since referred Jeremy to friends who have been equally pleased with the results of their home sales.” - Joanne H.
