Dawn Stevens, a former sales agent and longtime corporate employee of Jack Conway & Co., has been named director of the real estate firm’s senior services division.

Working out of the firm’s Norwell headquarters, Stevens will oversee a group of 90 agents from 42 sales offices who have been trained as "senior specialists" to serve the needs of homeowners age 55 and over.

"The baby boomer population is aging, and more than 10,000 people in our country are turning 60 or older every day," said Stevens. "Our chairman, Jack Conway, who is a senior himself, recognized the need to provide specialized services for this growing population, and that’s why we created an intensive training program for our top agents."

The program offers resources to senior homebuyers or sellers, including a partner network of home stagers, estate and elder law attorneys, financial planners, movers, and other professionals who offer free consultations to senior clients, according to a statement.

Stevens joined the staff of Jack Conway’s Hanson office as a sales agent in 1989. She later transferred to the corporate services division at the company’s Norwell headquarters, where she also handles referrals of relocating transferees from companies worldwide.

She formerly headed the company’s real estate referral registry, and for more than 10 years, helped to coordinate the annual fundraising auction and dinner – "Dishin’ it Up for the Homeless" to benefit the MainSpring Coalition for the Homeless.
