Let's celebrate the dedicated members of the CSHP Membership Council.

Behind every Certified Senior Housing Professional® credential is a group of experienced CSHPs who volunteer their time to help maintain the integrity, professionalism, and standards that define our community.

From reviewing applications and interviewing candidates to supporting fellow members, the Council plays a vital role in ensuring the CSHP designation remains a meaningful mark of commitment and excellence.

Their work often happens behind the scenes, but its impact is felt throughout our entire network. They help protect the value of the credential, support professional growth, and ensure that those who earn the CSHP designation have demonstrated both dedication and readiness to serve the mature market.

To our Membership Council members: thank you for your leadership, your thoughtful stewardship, and your commitment to helping SREI uphold the standards that matter.

Too many agents say they specialize in working with older adults — but have never had a conversation with a corporate trust officer. That's a gap that will eventually show up in a transaction, or worse, in a client relationship.

This past Monday on Mastery Mondays, I sat down with Kristan El-Khaled at Arvest Bank Trust Department right here in OKC, and she walked us through everything agents need to know about corporate trust management — including what to do when you pull up courthouse records and the trustee isn't the person sitting in front of you.

We covered a lot of ground:

- What a fiduciary actually means (and why it matters to your clients)
- When and why older adults name a corporate trustee
- What documents you need as an agent, and how to get them without asking for the whole trust
- How corporate trustees protect vulnerable clients from financial exploitation
- How to introduce a trust officer to a client who's nervous about the cost

One thing Kristan said that stuck with me: fees come out of the trust assets, typically between 1–1.5% of assets under management. Most clients assume it's out of reach. It usually isn't.

Mastery Mondays are free educational sessions for real estate professionals who specialize in — or want to specialize in — working with older adults. If you missed this one, keep an eye out for the next one.

"I knew I had a greater purpose than just being a real estate agent; I wanted to be a true advocate for seniors. When I found the Seniors Real Estate Institute, I wasn't looking for 'easy'—I was looking for 'thorough.'

I am completely blown away by the depth of this course. It provided the exact stepping stones I needed to create a business with purpose. The psychology element was unexpected and intense, but it gave me a level of confidence in working with seniors that I didn’t know was possible.

I’m now equipped to act as a bridge between seniors and their families, navigating complex transitions with care rather than just handling transactions. Seniors deserve someone truly committed to their well-being, and this institute provided the education I needed to be that person." - Christi Finnell, Certified Senior Housing Professional (CSHP) Texas.

In the WSJ last week... The article was about luxury living, the softening market for big country estates, but then...THIS!

Wealthy older adults in densely populated cities choosing small luxury lofts and apartments, often as second homes, to be near medical facilities. Some to move nearer to better medical centers and others to stay where their doctors are familiar.

We often hear about the lack of affordability - a real thing - but we rarely see articles like this where money is not an obstacle... rather, where to settle for convenience and medical care.

The "senior real estate market" is not one market --- there are many segments and many variables.
