“As I considered changing my Real Estate career from full time to a “Referring Agent”, I looked at many different options over 5 years. I decided that the Stepping UP! approach was by far the best to keep my name and marketing in front of my clients (and at no expense to me I might add!), and to assure that my clients would be taken care of in the same professional method that they had been used to. And now I am treated as the Team’s A+ client!”

My exit strategy is … to slow down and let Lori pick up more of the work! I need to have some time to be able to go and visit my grandkids and do some other traveling. It’s a transition rather than a steep cliff. I still like to engage my clients, and stay a part of the team, but let a lot of the grunt work transition over to teammates. When you care about your relationships, you want to hand them over to someone who will do at least as good a job as you have. It’s important to pick a team who you have confidence in.

I have been listening to Heather Shallenberger talk about this Stepping Up program for several years and it sounded like something I definitely would like to work with as I start winding down after 30 years in the business. I especially like the part about being as involved (or not) as I want to be, not having to do the time-consuming paperwork/inspections and just giving me a lot more time to pursue other things. We just finished a transaction which we worked on together and it could not have gone any better than it did – even with a lot of complications.

I joined Stepping Up! as a Team Lead because I loved the idea of being able to help agents retain income that they deserve after years of dedication to their clients. It has been such a rewarding experience to watch the referral agents truly living without worrying about their businesses that they worked so hard to create. I love to hear about the trips they are taking, the time they are spending on hobbies, time with family, etc all while knowing they are still earning income. I have been in real estate for 21 years and there is no doubt that I will take full advantage of being a referral agent myself one day.

I just wanted to give a “shout out” to Nancy Hennessey and the Hennessey Team. I’ve been a real estate agent for four years and built up a good business while my husband did his residency at UA College of Medicine. He finished his residency and accepted a job in Wyoming. I was afraid that I would have to give up my real estate career in Tucson and start over in Wyoming. Nancy Hennessey let me know about the “Stepping Up” program as a way to keep my hard-earned business alive in Tucson. It was an excellent decision on my end, and I can’t say enough about Nancy and her team. I get the calls, make the introduction, and wait for the check. I highly recommend the Hennessey Team and the Stepping Up program.

When I first sat down with Tom Ebenhack to learn about Stepping Up! I thought how ingenious. There are so many successful agents on the verge of retirement and what a unique opportunity for those agents to capitalize on all the years of hard work! I feel a responsibility to share these possibilities with the Realtors in our community so they can make an educated decision as they move toward retirement! Partnering with Tucson REAL Producers is a great fit!
