In September I started talking my real estate course to become a licensed with the State. Being an office manager for the last 3 years gave me a solid foundation with terminology, process, documents and the many other aspects of the real estate buying/selling process. The course went smooth and the course exam just as smooth and two Saturdays ago I took the state exam and passed well in the allotted time.

After choosing a brokerage, like that was a hard chioce, I proceeded to get my first listing, verbally, on Sunday following the exam and documents signed this last Friday. Woot. I am excited and now my seller gets the benifit of all this knowledge I have accumilated via working in the industry, hanging out on ActiveRain, reading other industry leader's blogs and doing research.

It is pretty exciting even though the real estate market is nothing less that dismal. But the listing is priced right, best priced for the sq/ft in the Arlington real estate area and is a great home. This weekend I am starting the traditional advertising, opens and such, and the online campaign is already in full swing, as you can tell from the listing post on AR.

Well its off to get more work done before this day comes to a close. Happy bloggging and good luck with your real estate!
