What am I doing these days? I’m in real estate school! Why am I doing this? Several reasons…
I always wanted to at least know what realtors know.I have just designed a commercial real estate web site, and my partners told me if I got my license I would have more ways of making money.
The best part about the school is the teacher. He’s a local broker here in Tucson named John Barry. I think it’s safe to say that, except for proctologists, realtors have the best stories. It makes the time go fast (5 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 4 weeks) for some pretty dry material.
The interesting thing about the class is the people in it. Almost all of them are trying to change their lives. I was talking to the lady that sits next to me… She had to quit her job as a property manager because they wouldn’t let her take off for 4 weeks. So she has no job and a kid in daycare. But there is good news: She already has a job lined up. Her step dad wants her to take over his business. I told her, that’s great! She said, “It makes me sick to my stomach thinking about it.” She’s scared she won’t be able to live up to expectations.
I am starting the 3rd week this week. I’ll try to jot down some of John’s stories to post here later…
