Downturn Tactics: Setting Up for Success in a Sluggish Economy with Duane Roy Ep. 157

Danielle Chiasson

Meet Duane Roy,  a Schulich School of Business graduate with certifications such as CSC, PFP, and CFP, has a diverse 30-year career spanning financial planning, tax firm ownership, life insurance, and serving as an in-house mortgage agent at top real estate firms including Brad Lamb Realty, C21 Leading Edge, Condos.ca, Keller Williams, and Exp Realty.

In this episode, Duane talks about:

  • The importance of balancing risk and return in investments. Reducing risk, even at the cost of slightly lower returns, is crucial to avoid distressed sales and ensure long-term stability.
  • His diverse and extensive background in financial services, starting from managing a retail store to working in various roles within financial firms and eventually running his own business.
  • His personal experiences, including his family's involvement in real estate, and his professional journey which includes 15 years in the financial industry and owning a property management company.
  • His firm, Ignite Wealth, offers a comprehensive range of services including financial advising, mortgage brokerage, real estate agency, and accounting, creating a one-stop-shop for clients.
  • The importance of customizing services to meet individual client needs, focusing on a holistic approach rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
  • The negative impact of forced sales, which often result from poor risk management, leading to emotional decisions and lower sale prices.
