🎙️ **Great conversation today on Retirement With Rick!**
I had the pleasure of sitting down with **Chudi Okafor and Mariko Dior of Compass Realty**, two experienced Las Vegas real estate professionals who recently earned their **Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES®)** designations.
We had a great discussion about the housing decisions that become increasingly important as we approach retirement — **staying in your current home, downsizing, 55+ communities, aging in place, and using a HECM for Purchase when buying your next home.**
One of my favorite takeaways: Retirement real estate is about much more than buying or selling a house. It’s about understanding how your **home, lifestyle, finances, and long-term goals** all work together.
Thank you, Chudi and Mariko, for sharing your experience and perspectives. Looking forward to sharing this episode soon!
