Okay, let’s tackle this. So Mike Dean has 38 years of experience in real estate, which is a long time. Typically, experienced professionals in this field can charge higher rates. However, since Mike is retired, his earning potential is limited. Considering his skills in strategic planning, marketing, and customer service, which are transferable to other industries, I would estimate his hourly rate to be around $75, which is a conservative estimate based on national averages for retired professionals with similar skills.
