Looking for a whole lot more of this in my retirement! Almost a hole in one!!
After 45 yrs of banking my broker license expires as of today and I'm headed into retirement! Look to find me hanging out with family and grand kids a lot more as well as golf, travel, garden and home projects, reading and relaxing with friends and a glass of wine! Thank you to all my clients, many of whom I was lucky enough to help several times. Helping folks get into a home or find a solution to stay in their home was always a pleasure. 🙂 Thanks so much for supporting me in my career. I hope to see many of you around.
