Passed the Brokers test Now what ?

Forgive Brothers and Sisters for I have sinned,

It has been 2 months since my last post,

 In that time I did manage to pass the Brokers class's and get through the State test. I had big plans to post updates on the road to getting the whole thing done but as is life, time just flew by. I wanted to let everyone who might be thinking of a designation to follow your name that after asking people here as well as customers and clients alike, The most recognized title that everyone knew was broker.

I knew I wanted something to follow my name but when you put up a few hundred dollars (Around $1,000 total for me including fees to the state ) for any of the designations you receive I wanted to make sure that the money was well spent. Even though I will stay at my current office and continue a great relationship with my Broker at the end of April when my Sales licence needs to be renewed I will activate my new Brokers license and add the title Assoc. Broker for all the world to see.

To rap it all up I would say that the class's are quite a bit harder than just getting the sales license but if you have been doing this business for a few years it brings back things long forgotten due to lack of use and really for me turned out to be quite fun. I had forgotten how much fun getting to know fellow classmates can be,  And a few will surely be remembered for years to come.

 As with everything in Life   GO FOR IT  if you want it.

Knowledge is power...applied Knowledge is even better than that.  I agree-how many clients know what a gri crs rsps really mean?  But when you say  broker-everyone knows that you are the big cheese!

Congradulations!!!!

Mike, you are so right, I am still trying to learn what all those initials after peoples names mean and I am in the business.  Those outside are not really impressed with initials but "broker" does mean knowledg, whether in the real estate or financial fields, and the public does know that, good investment.

Congrats Mike, I have been hitting the books too and got my brokers License on the 13th of last month.  I jumped in with both feet and opened my own office "Green Homes Realty."  I will be concentrating on green built and energy efficient homes.  I did get along fine with my broker but I wanted flexibility to do my own thing and work in an area that really interest me.  I will be closing my first deal mid-month and it will be one of the larger paycheck I have received.  It was worth the time and effort. When the time comes for you make the leap...leave on good terms but get the payback for your time and effort in getting the broker license.
