Money Magazine says that about 40% of workers are forced into early retirement because of poor health and downsizing, but Realtors never seem to retire...in fact, many have already retired from another job, and are entering real estate sales as a second career.
My friend and associate Suzanne was the hit of the Housing Industry Foundation's fundraising party and auction last night. It was a costume event attended by local Realtors and Affiliates: title company reps, mortgage brokers and property inspectors. The costumes were attractive and original, but Suzanne won first prize.
She was dressed as a retired Realtor, complete with a shopping cart holding all her "worldly possessions" including an open house sign and a box of old escrow files.
Her outfit was classic "bag lady".
Unfortunately, with so many of us self employed and reliant on an industry that seems frozen in place, the humor was a little too close for comfort.
