I am so pleased to say that I made it through a very intense two weeks of Real Estate School. As part of my job as Training Specialist at the Idaho Real Estate Commission, I get to work with all of the instructors in Idaho who provide instruction for real estate licensees. So my boss asked me to attend our two week salesperson pre-license courses (the education anyone must take to get a real estate license in Idaho). The classes are each a week long and are 45 hours of classroom instruction/field trips, etc.
It was very fun, but very challenging as a lot of new information was crammed into my brain very quickly. A few of the really fun things we got to do was to actually go and measure a house with tape measures, etc. to determine the square footage. It was a challenge. :) We also got to visit a title company and see all of the tract books dating back to the beginning of Idaho and see some very, very old land deeds. A little scary, but very entertaining was the lecture from a home inspector. I have learned more about mold, dry rot, etc. than anyone every wants to (very terrifying actually) and then heard a couple of poems as he was also a cowboy poet. The really funny thing was that the home inspector happened to be my old bishop who prepared me to go on a mission.
I realized through all of the work that the real estate licensees have to do and how detailed and complicated the process can be that I am extremely grateful to have the job that I do instead of being on the other end. I am learning from the inside out how the home buying process works so I will be really prepared to buy my first house (Pat's second) very soon.
