Helping Seniors Navigate Their Next Move on Maryland’s Eastern Shore

The Power of 2 Team October 29, 2026

Moving is a big decision at any stage of life. For seniors, it can involve much more than buying or selling a home. It may mean downsizing after decades in a longtime family home, moving closer to children and grandchildren, choosing a lower-maintenance property, or simply exploring what the next chapter could look like.

At The Power of 2 Team with Hileman Real Estate, we understand that these decisions can involve family, finances, timing, belongings and years of memories.

That’s why we’re proud to share that Cameron Drew, Bethany Drew and Terri Bradford have earned the Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®) designation through the National Association of REALTORS®.

What Is an SRES®?

The Seniors Real Estate Specialist® designation provides REALTORS® with specialized education focused on the real estate needs and considerations of older adults.

For Cameron, Bethany and Terri, the designation builds on years of experience helping clients through important life transitions and reinforces something our team has always believed:

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to real estate.

Every move is different, and the right plan should reflect each client’s needs, goals and timeline.

When Downsizing Means More Than Moving

Selling a longtime home can feel very different from a typical real estate transaction.

A home may hold decades of family memories, milestones and belongings collected over a lifetime. Even when a move makes practical sense, deciding what comes next can still feel overwhelming.

Questions may include:

  • Is now the right time to sell?
  • What is the home worth?
  • Should repairs or updates be made first?
  • What type of home would be a better fit?
  • How much time should be allowed for the transition?

Our role is to help clients understand their options and work through the real estate side of the process at a comfortable pace.

Helping Families Navigate the Process

A later-in-life move often involves adult children or other family members who may be helping with decisions, belongings, timelines or the move itself.

Clear communication matters.

Sometimes the first step isn’t listing the home. It may simply be a conversation about current market conditions, the home’s value and what options are available.

Local Knowledge Matters

For seniors considering a move on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, lifestyle and location can be just as important as the home itself.

Some may want to stay close to familiar communities like Ocean Pines, Ocean City or Berlin, while others may be looking for a smaller home, condominium or lower-maintenance property.

Our team combines local market knowledge with the additional education Cameron, Bethany and Terri received through the SRES® program.

Experience Matters. So Does Compassion.

Real estate is a financial decision, but it is also personal.

Having a REALTOR® who listens, explains the options clearly and understands the emotional side of a major move can make a meaningful difference.

We’re proud of Cameron, Bethany and Terri for earning their SRES® designations and for continuing to invest in the knowledge and resources they can bring to our clients.
