Financial Wellness Live – Virtual Edition is all about investing in yourself, your business, and your future. These events highlight the importance of being financially prepared in every area of your life, especially during these unprecedented times.
For many REALTORS®, COVID-19 has changed the complexion of their finances. During this period, it has become more challenging for many to maintain their income and keep up with obligations.
This session titled “What keeps you up at night” is intended to provide a little insight, and perhaps relief, to personal finance questions you may be asking yourself. An experienced Certified Financial Planner will walk us through the list of common financial challenges REALTORS® face during this time and offer his thoughts and best practices. Chances are you have thought about a few of these areas.
Attendees will also be able to download a copy of this list and use it to act. And make sure to stick around for the end when we open this up to questions and answers.
