Real Estate Certification Accomplished

Over the last few weeks I have been working toward getting my real estate certification.. and I am pleased to report- I am now certified to sell real estate in New South Wales!  Woohoo!  Glad that is done- and I can focus on what to do with it- now that I am certified.

Im sure you're wondering- as am I.. now what?!  Its a toughie.. Ideally I would love to dive into the shallow end of the real estate swimming pool, splash around a little, work the hours I want- only 3-4 days a week- and have the weekends free.  Are you laughing???  Yes.. i know- I grew up knowing that when you are in real estate- there is no such thing as a set, reliable schedule... there is- as mom always said "real estate emergencies"- in all hours of the day- all days of the week.

So with all that said- my plan is to get busy and network- drop my resume into local agencies and try to meet some of the agents- in hopes that someone might need help a few days of the week- and I can learn the business here (there are some major differences - and some similarities- between real state here vs in Washington).  Did you know a common way to sell your house is by live auction?!  Imagine that..  I think I actually like it!  I am pumped to get my head into the game over here- but a little reluctant too- as I don't want it to consume all my time.

Its funny the way everything kinda lines up when you least expect them to- its almost as thought something is telling me to do this right now.. the Little Dove Daycare down the road (the one with a 2 year min. wait list) called the other day and said there was a spot for Dyllan if she wanted to attend.  Not to mention- I randomly met one of her (potential- future) teachers at a friends Christmas party... then got a call yesterday from an agency in Mosman - to come in Monday for an interview..   I haven't even applied anywhere.  I think they call this... "opportunity comes a knocking"... I better answer the door.


HAHA!! my desk at real estate class... complete with a bowl of candy- refilled EACH day!! Did they know how to please me or what?!
