Whether it has been years or a lifetime, choosing to move on from real estate to retirement is a tough decision. From decision making, to preparation, to passing-the-baton, Denise has helped many agents successfully navigate through the retirement process and has solid advice to help lead you through the decisions that will lead to a happy transition.
Whether it is triggered by sour relationship, a tempting offer from another office, an unhappy commission split, a brokerage buy-out, or whatever the reason: most agents will experience the desire to change brokerages at least once in their career. Denise takes you through analyzing the reasons, justifying the move, planning your timing, and the essential things you need to do to protect your business along the way.
