School's Out

School is out here in Polk and Hillsborough counties.

It is now the holiday weekend.  For the last two years, this weekend has been a slow real estate week for me.  But the next week has been VERY BUSY!

We shall see!!!

I am now a broker

After weeks of studying, I now have my broker's license.

I was working on my Sales Associate post licensing education and when I passed it, I decided to jump right back in and get my broker's license while everything was fresh in my mind.

So today, I took the exam at Promissor and I passed, so I officially have a broker's license.

For the time being, I intend to continue with my current employer and work as a Broker Associate.

Now, time for a celabratory dinner and maybe a nap!

We don't have seasons in Florida?

One thing I hear over and over is that we have no seasons in Florida.

I want to make an observation and point out to all of the imported folks that we also have four seasons.

They are:

1. Early Summer
2. Summer
3. Late Summer
4. and those two weeks in January

Additionally, I would like to point out that I have never had to:

• Shovel my driveway
• Scrape ice off my car
• Put snow chains on my tires
• Carry a bag of sand in my trunk
• Plug my car in at night to keep it from freezing
• Shovel my roof
• Get bundled up to get the mail
• Attach a flag to a fiberglass rod on my car so people can see me coming around the snow drifts
• Wait till spring to play with my Christmas present

If Florida sounds like a place you would like to live, give me a call at (813) 494-2640.  There's always room for one more!
