Talk about information overload,

I'm over 50 and although I would like to think I'm not slow yet, Man did I have to pay attention today. Things that I learned in the agent class's and haven't seen since were brought up as well as things I've not had to know because they are not used here in Arizona kept me wondering what in the world I was thinking signing up for this.

But after the dust cleared and I was driving Home I felt better just knowing that I am doing this for exactly this reason.........Because I didn't know these things and I want to. The class includes National and State information so even though I may never need some of it I will at least have an idea.

Today was the Anatomy of Financing Documents I knew some of the information that I have had to deal with in transactions but there was a ton of information I did not know and will have to study to try and keep it in ( which is what I will be doing today) of course that's after I deliver some flyer's, Get a copy of a termite report and deliver it to my buyer, Pick up the keys hidden for a late showing of a listing, Check and answer e-mails, Post this blog and whatever else comes up today.

Next class is Tomorrow and I can't wait its Money and Interest / Financing Law should be fun (NOT).

Take care and Have a great day.

Mike, I'll be 50 in 6 weeks and I can honestly say that my understanding and retention has improved. When I am not distracted! :)

The great thing about broker class is that if you've been a full time practicing agent for a while, the fundamentals are already there. You're just picking up new skills. Enjoy it!

It's like buying cool, flattering new clothes.  :)

Plus Mike, I think there is an unwritten rule in classrooms, when your brain is full you can be dismissed. Ok, I lied about that.

I enjoyed my broker class and holed up in a motel for a week so I would not get distracted by business and home. I am over 50, not sharing how much over, and find I need to clear out everything to study anymore.

I felt like I learned so much but was so tired I couldn't stand up in front of anyone and let them know what I knew.

I don't know about other states . . . but Mike, be duly warned that the AZ state specific broker tests lately are REALLLLLY focusing a lot on Agency, Fiduciary and Fair Housing. That's where the complaints came from during this last boom . . . so definitely bone up on that stuff and get a hold of the ARS and Commissioner's Rules to study and you will be golden. You can snag 'em at the Department site:

Candice, you don't look near 50. I am 50 also--maybe we should have a 50's club. Going for Broker was also my 50th Birthday present AND to celebrate my 1st year in Real Estate. My goal was to test for Broker as soon as legally possible (In MS you have 1 year required with a Broker unless you have certain # of Unviersity Real Estate Classes (My B.A. didn't count.

Hey, Mike--I'm glad we are on your priority list! Have a great day tomorrow!

Thank you all for the support.

My eyes are strained and my brain is full for today, I have been locked up in my office at home all day reading.

Candice I would have guessed you were turning 30 but 50s not two bad ether.

Mary W. I wish they had a brain overload exit clause in class lol  :)

Mary D. congrats we will have a virtual margarita at the end of this :)

Suzi your crazy girl I would never have tried this in the first year but I think the 50s plus club is a great Idea I don't trust them 40 year olds

Oh and thanks for the address Candice I have that one bookmarked already.

Have a great day tomorrow you all deserve it.
