You Can Teach an Old Dog New Tricks

Well, after a long class in real estate law, many test, 250 flash cards and 72 hours of watching Wisocnsin Realtor's Association DVD's, I finally had the nerve to take my state license exam and it was not easy.  Every now and then I'll think of a term off the top of my head and will look it up on the itnernet to keep my old brain working.  The funny part, if there was a funny part is that the test hardly ever asked about easements, incumberances, or any of that stuff.  It was all about fair houseing, lead based paint, material adverse facts, and you'd better know every one of the forms you will need to go into practice.  I wrote to the teacher of the law class and told her to let the other classmates know that if they know the forms you can answer even the most difficult questions because you just have to find it on the forms.  There was a bunch of stuff about time limits regarding the submitting of papers but you could find it all in the forms IF you know which form to look at. 

I was blessed anough to have a friend of mine, Chris Nash take me on as a "very part time" sales associate.  I am really doing this to help out down there when there isn't a realtor on the floor.  I usually work on Fridyas so the hope is that someone will come in or call on Friday.  This next week I work Wednesday and Friday. 

I did make the local paper and did get a "sort of" lead from it.  Trina is working on my newspaper inserts so maybe I'll land a coupld customers.  The article is below.  I've been told I look like a murderer in the picture.  A local mailman asked Chris how he got my mug shot numbers off my shirt.  Boy it's a rough crowd in Jefferson.
