Many active retirees find that real estate offers a challenging, pleasurable, and profitable second career during retirement, offering an active, enjoyable lifestyle, the opportunity to continue to learn and grow, and what can be a lucrative supplement to retirement income. Real estate is an equal opportunity career. Minorities have equal opportunities for success. The percentage of men and women in real estate is almost even. Most important for retirees, age is no barrier.

Some of the highest producers in real estate are mature agents who have years of professional and personal life experiences to draw on, in helping them to understand the needs of home buyers and sellers, and to provide them with high levels of service. Even if you have no previous real estate training or experience, earning a real estate license is well worth the time and surprisingly affordable.

Unlike being cooped up at a desk or working behind a retail counter day after day, real estate offers flexibility and personal freedom.

And, real estate provides a channel for staying involved, and building contacts and friendships in your community. If you are interested in learning more about working in the real estate, please explore the Careers section of our site, or contact a GMAC Real Estate Office in the community in which you plan to retire.
