As part of his commitment to the Walnut Creek community, Benson is now available to speak to groups on the issues of real estate and financial abuse within the senior demographic.
By: Helene Vece “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’ “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,” 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.
