I am retiring from real estate! It's been 40 long years of working in this field and I'm so grateful for everything I've learned. To the young and rising realtors out there: It's definitely worth it, don't give up and eventually things will get better. If you have any questions feel free to ask them!

Bought shares in AFI and ARGO with plans to sell them this year to buy a house
Sell now before they crash even more?
Or put off buying a house untill the market bounces back?

Is it silly to think of my dj as a potential storage of money? I have cash at the moment and am liquid. But am 25 so seems silly to be trying to spend 9k on a watch. I will likely never sell it but if things turn south I have at least 7k of value on it

I'm about to leave my current company and am thinking of rolling over my 401K to the new company's 401K bc more money can equal greater returns (if the market does well). I'm in my early 30s, so more risk tolerant. Is this "wise" or should I just leave my 401K where it is and begin a new one. I'm happy with my options, so no need to move it to an IRA.

Genuinely curious, how much cash do you have in your savings account right now? Not stocks , 401k, CDs, etc etc.. just straight up cash..

Best recommended annual fee credit cards? I have some large purchases coming up ($3k+). Most of my expenses consist of groceries, restaurants, and occasional travel.

A screw up with auto-pay resulted in a missed payment to utility provider. This brought down my credit score by 35 pts to just under 750. I have had an otherwise spotless history. Is there anything I can do to fix it? How long before I get into 760-770 range? Planning to buy a home in the next few and thus want to shop for loans by Feb/Mar. Much appreciate any advice.

I recently joined LTI. I declared previous employer income in form C. Ideally this should not be calculated while deducting tax because my previous employer has already done it but LTI has deducted tax from my salary for previous employer income too.

Curious for everyone’s thoughts on real-estate right now.. my spouse and I are in Denver and trying to buy our first home. To get a halfway decent 3BR home, we have to spend upwards of 500k and still put a little work/investment in to update the home.. I can’t help but feel we should be waiting for 6 more months and seeing if the price drops.. I want to take advantage of the low rates right now, but can’t believe a half million still requires further investment to update the home.

How does the mortgage for a rental property work? I have the required down payment. Do I have to prequalify for the entire amount even if the place will be fully rented?

Working my way up the corporate ladder. I have so many thoughts on leadership and want to initiate changes in the departments I work with. But at this level it's so difficult. Ppl are so resistant to change.

My key learning thus far in my career: Noone gives a shit about your ideas unless you're a head honcho. Real change is brought about from a position of authority.

I have a college student wanting to intern at my new solo firm this summer. I totally can’t afford to pay her, but I also don’t plan on making her “work” but instead will teach her and add value through her internship experience. Is this permissible? Do I need to be cautious for any reason?

Just started a new job. It’s intense. I have bad ADHD and sometimes I just avoid tasks for days and say I’m super busy because I’m afraid I’ll screw it up. It’s crippling and I feel like a failure. They will probably just let me go. AGH does anyone else do this.

Highest paying city for realtors?

Realtors - how are you coping with this chaotic market?

What would be your advice if someone asked: “I’m debating right now on buying a car or moving to the city close to a metro station so that I maybe won’t need to buy a car for awhile. I plan to buy a car at some point but I figured rent is so expensive that if I get a place close to a metro I won’t need to worry about it. But what I was going to ask you is do you think there’s a “good time” to sign a lease ? I work in Arlington but I’d like to be in DC. I’m looking for a 1br 1bath. “
