Credentials are extremely important. Think about it for a minute. Would you hire an electrician without checking their credentials and qualifications? What about a doctor? They have their credentials and qualifications displayed on walls for patients to view in plain sight. The same goes for real estate agents. You need to ensure your potential agent possesses the licenses and certifications required for them to actually work as a qualified real estate agent. Make sure the agent you select is qualified to work with baby boomers and is a certified SRES (Seniors Real Estate Specialist): Completed training aimed at helping buyers and sellers in the 50-plus age range As mentioned above, a real estate agent can also be a Realtor®, which means they are an official member of the NAR®.

You need to look into the latter. Research them yourself. Ask the agent to provide a list of what they have listed and sold, along with testimonials. Further, ask about the original listing price of a home compared with the end sale price.

The above tips will help you find the perfect agent to help you
