Center for Financial Wellness
|
The Center for REALTOR® Financial Wellness is a resource designed exclusively to meet the specific financial planning needs of REALTORS®.
This comprehensive program includes education materials and resources for wealth building, business planning, and investing in real estate.
Nearly nine out of 10 REALTORS® are independent contractors and face complex situations when it comes to personal finances.
Unique attributes such as fluctuating income, taxing issues, and lack of salary cap require a different perspective.
The Center will help you assess your current financial profile, receive personalized financial planning goals, practice financial planning decisions in a risk-free way, and explore a robust library of budgeting, retiring, and real estate investing resources.
Download an informational flyer (pictured above) to invite your brokers and team members to visit the Center for REALTOR
® Financial Wellness,
