2 years ago

I remember it as clearly as yesterday! Two years ago, I became a REALTOR!!!! I was super nervous! I studied with my mother, a broker for many years, and then the next morning, I went to take my test! I was NERVOUS!!! I looked like I was about to puke in my photo! Well... I took the test and PASSED popped up on the screen for both the state and national sections!!! I DID IT!!! I called my parents after I took the test and the only thing that I could say was "I PASSED!! I PASSED!! DAD-- I PASSED!!!"

So... 2 years later, where am I? Working for New Pennsylvania Realty, Inc. for 2 years, Senior at PSU University Park, and Leasing Consultant for Lion's Crossing- a property of American Campus Communities. I also have worked with the New Pennsylvania Realty, Inc website and I have developed my own website!

I look forward to getting my CRS and GRI designations, broker's license (less than a year for the time limit- still working on the other requirements!) and hopefully teaching real estate classes at PSU other another real estate institution.

Hopefully, I will find a REALTOR wife and eventually be the next generation to operate New Pennsylvania Realty, Inc.!!

I remember how that felt when they said you passed. I said really are you sure. I could

hardly tell everyone I was so excited. You sound like you love the industry and getting

your desingations will be great. Congratulations on 2 years in the business.

I wish you the best of luck. I have started real estate as my second career after retiring from GE. I wish real estate had come first. I love this job and it sounds like you do also. Go get all you can!!
