| Your Own Retirement
Sue Hickey of Your Own Retirement, together with her husband, Dave, have made it their mission to help educate clients about retirement; but Sue has also gone beyond that with Your Own Retirement’s Women to Women program, which helps women to navigate into and through their retirement years. “Studies show that women control 90 percent of the wealth in retirement, yet only 20 percent of them feel educated enough about how to manage that wealth,” said Sue. Sadly, Baby Boomers have the highest divorce rate and the average age a woman becomes a widow is 59, and both of those circumstances affect a woman’s retirement years. “I want to help women through this difficult time. Making decisions at such emotional times in not advisable. I help them look for red flags and to follow their gut when it comes to their financial well-being.” Your Own Retirement never charges for the first consultation, and they not only help women but also couples. We also help single men, too. “We take a full, 360-degree look at where you stand, and can help with your retirement planning and all facets of financial services by identifying financial needs and working to reduce financial risks and creating a financial plan to guarantee income for the lifetime of our clients. Our primary focus is to secure lifetime income for our clients that they cannot outlive,” said Sue. YourOwnRetirement.com Phone: 1.866.677.PLAN (7526) Cranberry Twp., PA 16066

| Coldwell Banker
I have been a licensed, full-time Realtor® since 2008. After 10+ years as a successful sales professional, I was interested in starting a new career. Choosing real estate as my business allowed me to capitalize on the sales and negotiation tactics perfected in my sales career. It also allowed me to maximize my client-centric philosophy, assisting with, what is for most, the greatest financial decision in their lives. Whether it is their very first purchase, upsizing for a growing family or downsizing to a retirement home, I strive to ensure that my clients’ expectations are exceeded at every turn. From specialized marketing, professional photographs, complimentary staging and a written step-by-step process, my ultimate goal extends further than the current transaction. Ultimately, I want to become their realtor for life. By providing exceptional service, I hope to become the person my clients would recommend to family and friends. Helping others find their perfect home or move on to their next chapter is an honor and a privilege—something I take very seriously. I am their real estate advocate, guiding and advising at every step in the process, ensuring my clients are receiving the utmost in customer service and representation. My clients’ best interest is always my top priority. Call 412-366-1600 Ext. 1275 or 412-310-7812 www.zitabillmann.com
