This week’s Every Move Collective Monday Mastermind was packed with high-impact strategy thanks to our guest expert Stacie Koroly, a real estate powerhouse who has spent the last 25 years successfully serving the 55+ niche. If you're short on time, consider this your full recap—no hour-long replay needed (unless you want to dive deeper!)
Let’s break down the top takeaways by section 👇
🎯 Why the 55+ Market Is a Goldmine (And Mostly Untapped)
Baby Boomers = Majority Movers: According to recent NAR data, 42% of buyers and 53% of sellers are over the age of 55.
The Silver Tsunami is real: Nearly 69 million Americans are in the 55+ category, second only to Millennials.
This demographic has money, equity, and urgency—and yet very few agents are serving them with intention.
"At a recent event, only 4 people raised their hand when asked if they focus on 55+ clients. That’s the opportunity." – Stacie Koroly
🛠️ How to Become the Go-To Agent for the 55+ Niche
1. Master the Resources
Start at 55places.com: This is your treasure trove. Explore local active adult communities, floorplans, HOA fees, and listings. You can even apply to become the featured agent in your market.
Use tax records + MLS to identify long-term homeowners—ideal prospects for downsizing.
2. Build a Facebook Presence
Create a Facebook page like: “Active Adult Living in [Your Market]”
Focus content on lifestyle: local restaurants, concerts, events—not just real estate
Facebook outperforms Instagram and TikTok in this demo. Stacie called it “the #1 most underutilized tool.”
💌 Marketing Machine: How to Stay Top of Mind
Stacie’s trifecta marketing formula:
Email (MailChimp) – 2x per week
Community highlights, listings, value-based content (estate planning, events, theater shows, etc.)
Monitor open rates—aim for 30%+
Print Mail
Send newsletters, postcards, or yellow letters handwritten style on colorful paper with themed stamps.
Advertising in community newsletters or directories is worth every penny.
Social Media (primarily Facebook)
1 post per weekday
Prioritize single-photo posts (they outperform carousels/videos on FB)
Repurpose Mailchimp content for posts!
🧩 Event Marketing: Build Relationships Through Value
Forget open houses—build community trust with these high-ROI events:
Estate Planning Seminar: Brought in 80+ attendees. Partner with an attorney and offer valuable education.
Dumpsters for Decluttering: Offer a community clean-out day.
Shredding Events: Post-tax season paper purge—sponsored by you.
Holiday Events at Pottery Barn: Wine tastings, local vendors, and postcard invites for ultimate exposure.
“It’s not about chasing. It’s about attracting.” – Stacie
🧓 Assisted Living & Long-Term Plays
Visit 5 assisted living facilities quarterly.
Bring value: pop-by gifts (yes, even wine!), resource guides, or offer to sponsor events.
Facilities often refer agents—be top-of-mind when a resident transitions.
