WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - July 24, 2014 - PRLog -- Sam Benson, owner and broker of SamBensonRealty.com, Executive Brokers (SM), and WalnutCreekSeniors.com, is launching the start of his Senior Sessions campaign. These sessions are completely free to groups of 10 (or more) and are information based, not service-pitch directed. Benson, who specializes in helping seniors downsize their homes and/or find the perfect dream home, wanted to offer these no-charge, no-pitch sessions to help seniors take a proactive and preventative approach when it comes to financial and real estate elder abuse. Additionally, these sessions provide information to help seniors make informed decisions on the various levels of senior living and managed care.

“There are some real concerns we all have to be aware of as we grow older, especially when it comes to real estate and financial transactions. Unfortunately, the occasional scam or deceptive family member can ruin a great opportunity or tear apart an estate. I wanted to make myself, and my knowledge, available to senior-based groups to help encourage healthy conversations and provide tips on what to look for in any real estate transaction, regardless if the senior is my client or not,” said Sam Benson.

Sam Benson’s Senior Seminars run 30 minutes long with an open Q&A session. Additionally, Benson provides free infographic sheets with helpful financial tips related to real estate and home safety reminders.  Benson’s seminars can, upon request, provide resource suggestions (not company endorsements) to address concerns surrounding suspicious changes in wills, powers of attorney, titles, and even insurance policies directly related to real estate.

“My main concern is education. If a senior is looking to downsize his or her home, I want them to know what to look for and what is customary within the real estate market. I don’t want someone to feel taken advantaged of and I urge family member involvement when appropriate,” finished Benson.

The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that dishonest telemarketers take in an estimated $40 billion each year,  baiting one in six American consumers -- and  AARP claims that about 80% of them are 50 or older. Benson’s Senior Sessions also addresses home repair scams that are often tied to the real estate market. From false prizes and sweetheart scams to using fraudulent legal documents, Benson spends time covering major fraud concerns related to property and finances, as well as how to prevent and respond to these issues.

Sam Benson is available to speak with members of the press regarding this topic, the real estate market in general, and senior home downsizing issues. With a popular real estate blog penned consistently under his name, Sam is also available to act as a guest blogger or columnist. Interview and segment requests can be directed to Sam’s media manager, Helene Vece, or to Mr. Benson directly using the contact information found in this release. An EPK is available upon request.
