Today, her mission is to help women 40–60 accelerate their retirement with smart real estate strategies through her new company, Lifestyle Wealth Strategies.This conversation dives deep into the lessons Ginger has learned from decades in the business — from avoiding scams and finding the right partners, to knowing when it’s time to pivot.
