North Texas Realtor network helps serve area seniors making a move Cathi Coridan has been helping seniors and families through every step of transitioning into senior living for many years, and she launched the Network of Realtors Serving Seniors in NTX in March. The network’s goal is to bring like-minded Realtors together to provide resources, referrals for contractors and strategies to best serve Dallas-Fort Worth’s seniors. Community Impact spoke with Coridan about how the organization helps Realtors and seniors. What services does the network provide for the Realtors? I don’t want to sell houses in south Fort Worth when I live in Lewisville, and seniors require a lot of extra time. So the network now provides agents that I can work on a referral basis with that I know
will take really good care of that client and I can stay involved. We also provide guidance for Realtors less expe- rienced with senior living, and we provide educa- tional sessions three times a year with attorneys,
financial planners and other partners. How does the network benefit seniors making a move?
It’s not about the Realtor, it’s about serving the senior—and we work better together. If there’s a senior that wants to sell in south Fort Worth and buy in Frisco, I can connect with a trusted Realtor that can list that house down there, and I can find them a house in Frisco. We work together as a team. Or maybe somebody from Arlington wants to know my go-to cleaning crew or painter. I can give them those resources immediately, because we’ve already vetted them. What areas does the network cover? We go from south Fort Worth to Rockwall and from south Dallas to Sanger and beyond. The 25 agents in this network cover every single piece in the Metroplex.
