I am currently enrolled in my 45 Hours Post Licensing Class, which i do not have to take until March 2009, but I figure I better do it now.  It is a good class so far, actually i highly recommend new Agents taking it early in there first year because it is very helpful with activities I am doing ...

Last Saturday I went door to door in my subdivision introducing myself and handing out my Business Card/Calender and a "coupon" for a free CMA.  Out of 60 addresses I knocked on 40 doors (I didn't go to every door due to location/busy roads).  Of those 4o homes 33 weren't home and I left the info...

Meet with the family, get them pre-qualified, pinpoint their needs vs. wants, narrow down the inventory, plan my tour, take them out to view homes, listen to their reactions and take note, see more ho...

Oh well, I'll go with the flow. I love my office and the other agents I work with are great. Still spending money - st...

It's official - I am a REALTOR®. I past my test in July '07 on the first try, (thanks to a weekend cram course), signed up with a Real Estate company, received my REALTOR® distinction (read as pay more money = your now a REALTOR®), and am now spending lots of money in the high hopes of actually m...
