My Real Estate Broker’s License: the Trials

I suppose the title could have read “Why I Love Working in a Small Real Estate Company” but it wouldn’t be as catchy. For those of you who know, I’m currently studying for my real estate broker’s license. With the market being slow and with all the time on my hands during my almost-five-month-old’s nap time, I decided adding another feather to my cap was a good idea.

At first sight, studying for the broker’s exam is a lot like studying for the real estate salesperson’s test. There is a lot of theory and many laws to know. And it teaches you almost nothing about how to deal with the real world with real people and about how everyday real estate transactions are put together. Nevertheless, it is interesting and a good refresher on the basics of real estate.

One requirement though is documenting real estate sales transactions in the last two years as a licensee. And this is where your current brokers have to vouch for you. I’ve worked with three real estate brokerages in all - two big brokerages and one small company - Elite Properties. Well, guess who was quickest in getting me what I required and who put me through three days of phone calls and unanswered voice messages and general heartache.

That’s right. Now you know why we’re better. Like a famous commercial said, We try harder.
