Heidy-Ho, Blogging Buddies!!
Time has absolutely flown... and I have let it slip by. There are a myriad of things that have kept me from sitting down and posting... but I apologize for not making the time!
So... with all of the "stuff" going on, you would think I would have something to report. But I don't. In fact, most of my time has been spent getting the "final" kitchen in order, getting ready for tax season (for my household and for my aunt's final returns), figuring out what I should do is reactivate my real estate sales license (more later), finally getting around to seeing doctors I have avoided for over a decade (!), and just trying to clean out paperwork in the filing cabinet that needs to be shredded and gone!!! Whew!!! I apologize for the delay in posts... but I hope you can relate to the insanity of daily life that has kept me away from the computer.
Alright. The one thing that might be of interest is my decision to reactivate my real estate sales license. Yep. After submitting large quantities of online applications for employment, I realized that was getting me nowhere. One interview wasn't a good return on the time invested! LOL!! So... with the Waco market booming right now, I chatted with a gal who has lived here nearly forever. She pointed me in the direction of a sales agent she knows who is encouraging her to obtain her license. I contacted him, met with him and his manager, and found myself 'invited" to join the brokerage firm once I had my license reactivated! Oops! Time to get in high gear! After conversing with TREC (Texas Real Estate Commission), I obtained the two 30-hour courses I needed, finished those in short order, then submitted my application for reactivation. I received the acceptance letter from TREC quickly along with instruction to get fingerprinted (ridiculous, in my opinion, but we all have to do it) and take the National/State exam... again. Remember, I took this and was licensed previously. Sigh. So... I am now reviewing the exam prep course I obtained and have scheduled the exam for this Wednesday, 4/11/18. I am comfortable the outcome will be fine so will likely be a licensed real estate salesperson in the lovely state of Texas once again soon.
So... that is what has been going on... or at least a very quick synopsis of what has happened to this point. I am looking forward to getting back into real estate as it was the best "job" I ever had and never really felt like "work." The brokerage has been great and allowed me to sit in on some of the sales meetings they have each week in anticipation of my license being received by them.
I hope after reactivation, tax season, and finally clearing my desk, I will have more time to share some things of interest with you.
Until next post...
