Professional designation

A Seniors Real Estate Specialist®

Irina holds the Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®) designation, granted by the National Association of REALTORS® and taught in Canada through the Real Estate Institute of Canada (REIC). The training focuses on clients aged 50 and over: housing options and life transitions, reverse mortgages and home equity lines of credit, how pensions, RRSPs, RRIFs and Old Age Security fit into a move, adapting a home to age in place, estate planning, and recognizing scams that target older homeowners.

It is the knowledge behind this site, and behind the patient, step-by-step way Irina works with older clients and their families.

Hello, I’m Irina

For many of my clients, selling the family home is the biggest move in decades. I take the time to explain every option, involve the people you trust, and never rush a decision. This site gathers what families ask me most, in plain language.
