{Podcast} Housing Wealth Strategies that Can Help Your Clients Retire Worry-Free

Mike McGlothlin of Ash Brokerage Interviews Don Graves

How Is Ash Brokerage Using Housing Wealth?

If given the choice between a 26% portfolio failure rate and a 2% failure rate, which would your clients choose?

Ash Brokerage’s new Journey Guide Pro software ran thousands of retirement portfolio simulations. Some used a traditional systematic withdraw–on average ending with a 26% failure rate. That means one out of four people would fail before their 20-year retirement was over. When the newly restructured reverse mortgage was incorporated, the failure rate dropped dramatically to 2%. [Hear how they incorporated it – go to 14:20 in the podcast]

We believe that every client deserves to have a retirement free of worry that they will run out of money. 

These are the words Mike McGlothlin of Ash Brokerage opened our interview with.  Mike and his team are equipping advisors to help their clients “retire more confidently.” And they’re doing it with the reverse mortgage.
