As a Senior Real Estate Specialist®
I am confident I have the experience and knowledge to facilitate my client goals.
– Jeff Hawthorne – iHomesSD

As we actively age we require specialists to meet and maintain our health goals, financial goals and housing goals into the years to come. As a SRES© certified REALTOR® I am acutely aware of the needs of those over the age of 50. I can assist in the financial and emotional challenges that senior clients face when they sell a long-held family home. I will create a customized approach to marketing and selling your property and work with you to explore your housing options to ensure that your next homebest serves your current and future needs. There are many steps for seniors to cover in the process of buying or selling real estate. Here are just a few considerations that should be reviewed:

  - In addition to my certification as a Senior Real Estate Specialist SRES© I have an extensive mortgage lending background and special knowledge about reverse mortgages .
Legal Considerations
