Century 21 Affiliated: Thor Sorensen in Carlsbad Village holds CA DRE #01328949 with five active designations—ABR, CRS, FHE, SFR, and SiRES—spanning buyer representation through seniors' housing transitions. The CRS (Certified Residential Specialist) credential, earned by fewer than three percent of U.S. agents, supports a purchase-financing workflow that runs alongside lenders such as MortgageOne, Inc. on the El Camino Real corridor. SiRES (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) certification equips the practice for trust sales, reverse-mortgage transitions, and downsizing scenarios common in the 92008 ZIP code near Carlsbad Village Drive and State Street. SFR (Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource) authorization adds distressed-property negotiation for REO and pre-foreclosure listings throughout North County. The practice coordinates pre-close inspections, appraisals, and property-insurance binding through a vendor network that includes carriers such as Hayek Insurance during the escrow-to-close window. Approximately 1,200 closed residential transactions span single-family homes, condominiums, and multi-unit investment properties across the 92008 and 92009 ZIP codes.
