Ask the Pros
Downsizing and Navigating Retirement
Wednesday, April 13 | 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM | Fractal Brewing Project
Retirement planning can be daunting, to say the least. Many questions may arise when going through the process. Did I save enough to enjoy a comfortable life? Should I downsize and move into a smaller home? How do I continue to stay active and contribute to my community after leaving my job or selling my business?
If you are one of those, who are mulling over how to plan for retirement, join us at Keel Point’s Ask the Pros event and hear insights from local experts on how to create the best retirement for you and your family. You’ll hear from Brandi Copeland, Realtor with Keller Williams Huntsville. She’ll discuss the current real estate market and share thoughts on how she has helped retirees downsize from their current homes to spaces that offer a less stressful environment. Local retiree Mike Carden will share his story about being active in retirement following a career in the Army and defense industry. And finally, Keel Point’s Wealth Advisor David Little will share how he helps individuals and families make sense of the sometimes complicated nature of investment planning.
