Why More Canadian Realtors Are Choosing Lifestyle55+ for Seniors Real Estate Training
The Canadian population is aging—and the real estate industry is struggling to keep up. With over 25% of Canadians projected to be over the age of 65 by 2030, the demand for real estate professionals who understand the unique needs of seniors and their families is exploding.
For realtors ready to specialize, the question isn’t if you should pursue seniors real estate training—it’s which program will prepare you best for the Canadian market.
And increasingly, the answer is Lifestyle55+ Affiliate.
The Need for Seniors Real Estate Training in Canada
Seniors aren’t like any other demographic. Whether they’re downsizing, transitioning into retirement housing, or dealing with health or estate-related complexities, selling a home later in life is rarely just a transaction—it’s often part of a much larger emotional, logistical, and family-driven process.
Most real estate courses skim the surface. And while American-based programs like SRES (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) offer some insight, they aren’t designed for the nuances of Canadian content, culture, or comprehensive understanding of housing options and care systems.
Why Lifestyle55+ Was Created: A Canadian-Built Answer
The Lifestyle55+ Affiliate Program wasn’t developed in a boardroom. It was created by professionals who lived through the challenges of helping aging parents, supporting grieving families, and navigating real estate with empathy—not just contracts.
This program was born in Canada, built specifically for Canadian realtors, and refined with real-world experience from working alongside older adults and their families.
What Makes Lifestyle55+ Different
- 100% Canadian content and support
- Teaches emotional intelligence, not just transaction tactics
- Built around real family dynamics and aging transitions
- Helps realtors build trust in sensitive, high-stakes situations
- Delivered by industry professionals having worked in seniors real estate, senior transition and social work
Built for Canadian Real Estate Professionals
One of the biggest gaps in U.S.-based programs like SRES is that they simply weren’t made for Canada, rather they were modified for Canada. The Lifestyle55+ is the advancement of the original Accredited Senior Agent program allowing it to fill the gap.
- Canadian-specific training and context
- Real-world application you can use right away
- Tools to support multi-generational clients
Who Should Take This Course?
If you’re a registered Canadian REALTOR and you:
- Work with seniors, downsizers, or adult children
- Want to offer more than just the standard agent service - CMA or listing agreement
- Need a clear niche that makes you referable and respected
- Stand above the typical real estate competetion
… then the Lifestyle55+ Affiliate Program was built for you.

“As I had mentioned before about the course. Being a Master Senior Realtor for many years, I was thoroughly impressed with the vast amount of material that was included in the course, the amount of time that must have gone into preparing not just the course but also the very detailed work books that you gave us to work on and refer back to (as I have done many times). Kudos to your organizing such a great course. I would highly recoment that anyone who wants to be a top notch senior's realtor that they take this course. B. Shaffer”
