Colorado Realtor Terry Naber Goes Above and Beyond Helping Seniors

“I am without words...you make a difference in people’s lives, and that is the most important difference,” said a client of seasoned Realtor and Broker-Associate Naber, who recently helped a handicapped widowed area resident with an inspiring above-value home sale that defied the odds in an ultra-competitive market by her dogged determination and skills.

In fact, this sale was what inspired Naber to obtain the SRES designation. Terry originally entered the Real Estate business in 1990 because it was a career based in helping others, so she saw this designation as a way to help seniors even more with important life decisions at the most vulnerable time of their lives. Because many Baby-Boomers and older people do not use computers, Naber gets a large percentage of her clients from the printed Yellow Pages.  

“Printed information has been replaced with online information, which limits many seniors’ access to crucial information. By becoming an information source for older people I could add very valuable services to my repertoire that goes beyond the normal scope of a real estate agent,” stated Naber.

This SRES designation gives Naber expert knowledge regarding many senior concerns, such as senior housing in all its forms, some estate law, elder care, family dynamics,  and Medicare and Medicaid issues concerning real estate. “It also gives me many other resources to help seniors that they may not be able to research on their own, such as estate sale companies, estate planners, estate attorneys, senior meal programs and more,” noted Naber.

This designation also helps prep the agent to consult seniors to help them determine if it’s best to age in their home if adaptations can be made, or if it’s best for them to move to some form of  a senior community or facility. “There is so much in-depth information that I did not know before receiving this designation,” concluded Naber. “For example, most people do not realize that reverse mortgages can increase the quality of their lifestyle or even help them buy a home with no payment, but it is not for everyone. I can provide them the information they need to determine if it is at least worth looking into, and warn them about the pitfalls involved. I don’t want to just sell houses, I want to make a true and lasting difference in my clients’ lives.”
