A recent study by the U.S. Census Bureau revealed that, by the year 2025, the United States’ senior population is expected to jump nearly 80 percent. Like people relocating for a new job, many seniors do not have the luxury of waiting for their homes to sell if they are on a list for a retirement community.

However, the Senior Advantage Real Estate Council reports that 90 percent of seniors will not put their homes on the market until they have already purchased a new one or have made definite arrangements in a retirement community.

John Carraher, director of relocation and business development programs for ERA Real Estate, said seniors need assurance that their house will sell.

The Sellers Security Plan offers a simple guarantee for seniors: “We will sell your house or ERA will buy it,” Carraher said.

Created to assist sellers whose current home needs to be sold to enable their next home purchase, the program uses a five-point marketing plan to help maximize the marketability and sales potential of a home.

“An assured offer solves the contingency sale problem,” Carraher added.
