R.E.A.L. Coach stands for Real Estate Assets and Liabilities Coach-a coach who uses a comprehensive approach in helping clients reach their real estate and financial goals. With real estate typically being a client’s largest asset, and a mortgage the largest liability, a R.E.A.L. Coach recognizes the long-term impact that decisions affecting real estate and mortgages have on retirement goals, either shortening or extending the length of time needed to achieve our eventual retirement dreams. Thus, R.E.A.L. Coach is synonymous with R.E.A.L. Retirement Coach. A R.E.A.L. Coach helps evaluate where you are in the Real Estate Lifespan and can prepare a comprehensive R.E.A.L. Plan that documents your current position, compare this to your future goals, and prepare a gap analysis with attendant recommendations.
Retiring and keeping your current lifestyle is an increasingly elusive goal. Generally, any goal has risks, but there are usually controls that can mitigate those risks. Simply speaking, a Finance Risk Manager helps you retire and keep your current lifestyle by identifying your unique, comprehensive financial risks and helping implement mitigating controls along the way.
