Here's how you can transition into a different industry after retiring from Corporate Real Estate.

Being an ex-real estate agent, I can attest that there are a ton of other things you can do to keep yourself busy, stay in the real estate industry (sort of), and earn some extra money! It could be considered a "side hustle" but it's a way to interact with the public, do a public service, and stay busy while you earn supplemental income. Consider becoming a Notary Public! As a real estate agent, you are familiar with loan docs, thus you know that mobile notaries perform notarizations on them. There are many other types of General Notary Work, you can also become an Apostille Agent, a Trust Delivery Agent, a Reverse Mortgage Signing Professional, a Fingerprint Vendor, a Site Inspector, and so on.

Se remettre en question et prendre des risques peuvent parfois être nécessaires lorsque des opportunités se présentent. Personnellement, j'ai décidé d'emprunter cette voie en octobre dernier et je ne le regrette pas, c'est une expérience enrichissante.

If you are retiring, now would be a good time to take a moment and think about your passions and interest. The skills and knowledge you have obtained will most likely be able to bolster your resume and provide a spring board into any field of your choosing on this next endeavor. Maybe on this go round you can do something in an industry that is a little more in line with your current life cycle.

Transitioning into a new industry after retiring from corporate real estate can be exciting. Reflect on your skills,interests, and values to identify industries that align with your strengths and passions. Explore industries you're interested in to understand their dynamics, job opportunities, and requirements. Leverage your professional network to learn from others who have transitioned into other industries. Attend industry events and connect with professionals in your target field. Identify any gaps in your skills and acquire relevant knowledge or certifications through courses, workshops. Find a mentor in your desired industry who can provide guidance, advice, and support as you navigate your career transition.

Leadership, people and communication skills helps any successful professional transition to a new role provided you are coachable and open to new experiences. Find a mentor or friend in the new field, who can help you identify a common skillset that you can leverage. Humility to learning something new is more important that proving that you have value from your prior work. Make a T-chart of your skills and identify the skills and knowledge needed for the new role. Lead with the skills you can apply quickly and work hard to build the ones you did not bring with you. Don't expect to be valued as you were in the prior role until you experience successes in your new role. Growth is on the horizon.

Regardless of your affiliation with a small or large firm, a real estate career is like running your own business. The relationships you foster and grow are based on a combination of your personal and business skills, and above all, trust. When transitioning to a new role or leaving the field, I would recommend considering the following: - Set a deadline: When do you want to have completely transitioned? - Honor your commitments, be respectful of your clients, and be honest. - Have an exit strategy that may include creating a team to handle your business pipeline. - Consider staying in an advisory role for a while until clients are comfortable with the move. Make sure all stakeholders have a clear understanding of the process and timeline.
