| Planning for Profitable Retirement in Real Estate with Nancy Robinson | 22 Feb 2024 | 00:39:35 | |
Today, we're diving into a topic that, let's be honest, doesn't get the spotlight it deserves – retiring from real estate without leaving money on the table or feeling lost. Our special guest is Nancy Robinson, the VP of Sales at Christie's International Real Estate - Sereno in Northern, CA. Nancy is uber passionate when it comes to preparing agents for a smooth and profitable retirement. According to the National Association of REALTORS, the average age of a REALTOR is 57 and more than 65% of REALTORS are over age 50. The reality is that many of these agents are hitting retirement age unprepared. Many agents find themselves at a crossroads, financially strapped or emotionally unready to step back, despite knowing it's time. In this episode, Nancy addresses these head-on with practical steps like setting up a SEP IRA with automatic savings, keeping tabs on your source of business, marketing consistently to your SOI, and the importance of finding a mentor or coach. Plus, she talks about building a trustworthy alliance to pass the torch smoothly. If you're a real estate agent or Broker/Owner or Manager who supports real estate agents, tune in and connect with Nancy. Connect with Nancy | |||
