About RE-STEPS

Gain the newest certification to successfully work with seniors, trustees, and personal representatives going through probate!

RE-STEPS is a specialized certification program for real estate professionals. It was developed by Julie Abels, an experienced broker who ranked in the top 4% internationally at her company. Unlike many other certification programs taught by instructors with limited real-world experience, RE-STEPS offers insights straight from someone who has closed dozens of transactions in this niche market.

The RE-STEPS program is built on real-world lessons from Julie’s years of experience and success. She shares exactly what she did to close 16 transactions for seniors and families experiencing loss in just one year and many more throughout her career. Over 75% of these transactions were generated through referrals from senior specialists, geriatric physicians and estate attorneys who valued Julie’s knowledge and expertise.

Why earn your RE-STEPS certification?

Seniors are the fastest growing age group both by percentage and by absolute numbers.

By 2050, over a fifth of the U.S. population will be 65 and older.

Today, nearly 80 percent of seniors own their own homes.

Be poised to help when circumstances necessitate the sale of these homes.

This market is dramatically underserved and misunderstood. There are huge opportunities for real estate professionals who understand the specialized needs of older adults and their families.

In the RE-STEPS program, you’ll gain practical knowledge and effective strategies you can immediately use to sell more homes. This isn’t theoretical “book learning.” In just a few hours, you’ll learn precisely what steps you can take to build your business in this rapidly growing market.
