The sessions, which started in July and will run until mid-September, have been designed to cover a full range of issues affecting brokers who work within the equity release market. Many of them include expert guest speakers from the legal and marketing professions. All of the sessions are designed to give brokers advice on handling current equity release business and the techniques available to attract more.
Duncan Young, CEO of Retirement Plus said: “At Retirement Plus we firmly believe that brokers need to be supported by equity release product providers; only by having the absolute market facts can a broker completely advise a client about their best options.”
“It is no secret that brokers within the more traditional mortgage market have seen their business decline over the past few months. Like us, those brokers who also operate within the equity release market have seen its popularity increase. These brokers need help assessing their clients’ needs, as well as legal advice and practical and cost-effective marketing tips. Both these sessions and our monthly e-tip+ emails advise brokers on these subjects and more.”
