Attention real estate agents!

Realtors play a unique role in their client’s future by advocating for their buyers to get into the house of their dreams and positioning their sellers to maximize the sale of an existing property. On either side, the transaction itself has a significant impact on the net worth for those clientele. Often times, however, realtors need careful planning themselves to make sure they are saving, investing and ensuring that their financial house is in order to carry on their professional career in real estate.

In this presentation, our focus will be on the following topics that aim to help realtors and real estate professionals serve their clients and increase their own probability of success:

1. Cash Flow Management – Business cash flow (including Profit and Loss statements, planning for tax payments) and Personal cash flow management to maintain a healthy monthly budget.

2. Business Structure – Structuring your business in a way that builds protection from liability while also mitigating taxes on earnings.

3. Wealth Building – Agents can save and invest in several investment vehicles. This presentation will go through those options and identify which one may be most appropriate for your individual circumstances.

Please consider joining us for a live presentation to learn how you can build your financial future.
