95 Years Old and Taking Continuing Education

In New York State Brokers who had been selling real estate full time for 15 years or longer used to be exempt from taking continuing education until this past year when this rule was changed. Now there will be no more exemptions. In Texas I guess they don't exempt anyone. From the Dallas News:

Ebby Halliday recently spent two days "incarcerated," as she puts

The 98-year-old grande dame of residential real estate served her 15-hour sentence of classroom studies required by the Texas Real Estate Commission to maintain her license

How many of us can see ourselves sitting in a classroom at 95? Still selling real estate. Good for her. To read the rest of this article please click the link below:

Good for her. I can see myself in that same scenario. Indeed!

The grande dame of real estate, now there is a title to aspire to! That is wonderful!

I believe no matter how long we have been in real estate we need to take continuing ed. Perhaps I don't like the content at times, but we need to keep our education levels up up up.

Lenn, me too.

Andrea, I agree. There is always something new to learn.

I hope this is me at 95

I have no aspirations of selling anything assuming I am alive and coherent at 95 but you have to respect and admire the 'Grande Dame' for being there to take her CE courses.

Well, I hope not, but I can see myself being wheeled in in my wheelchair, assuming I'm still alive.

WOW at 95 I hope I will be that spry. I guess we all need to stay on top of what is going on in our business even if we could have been doing it for as long as anyone else could possibly remember.
