Seniors Real Estate Institute: Empowering Real Estate Professionals to Serve Seniors
Seniors Real Estate Institute (SREI) is a leading organization that provides education, training, and resources to real estate professionals who want to specialize in serving the senior market. Founded by Nikki Buckelew, a seasoned real estate agent and coach with over 20 years of experience in the industry, SREI has helped thousands of agents across the country build successful businesses while making a positive impact on seniors and their families.
At SREI, we believe that serving seniors is not just good business but also a noble calling. As the baby boomer generation ages and retires, there is an increasing demand for real estate professionals who understand the unique needs and challenges of this demographic group. Whether it's helping seniors downsize or relocate to more suitable housing options or assisting their adult children with managing their parents' assets and estates, there are many opportunities for agents who are willing to invest in specialized training and expertise.
That's where SREI comes in. We offer a comprehensive curriculum that covers all aspects of senior real estate from marketing strategies to legal issues to ethical considerations. Our courses are designed not only to impart knowledge but also to inspire our students with a sense of purpose and passion for serving seniors.
One of our flagship programs is the Certified Senior Housing Professional (CSHP) designation. This rigorous certification process requires agents to complete 12 hours of coursework on topics such as aging-in-place design, reverse mortgages, Medicare/Medicaid planning, dementia care, hospice services, etc., as well as pass an exam demonstrating their mastery of these subjects. CSHPs are recognized as experts in senior housing by both consumers and industry peers alike.
In addition to our educational offerings, SREI provides ongoing support through coaching calls, webinars, networking events, marketing materials templates,and other resources designed specifically for senior specialists. We also have a vibrant online community where members can connect, share ideas, and collaborate on projects.
But perhaps the most valuable aspect of SREI membership is the sense of belonging to a community of like-minded professionals who share a common vision and mission. Our members are passionate about making a difference in seniors' lives and are committed to upholding the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and compassion.
