My first week as a new realtor

So this past week I finally got my real estate license and the week was full of meetings and paperwork.  Tuesday I met with the new agent representative in our office and filled out all the required paperwork and signed all the contracts.  I also received a small business card with a bunch of user names and passwords on it.  I was feeling pretty overwhelmed by the time I left, but we both decided I just needed to breath and take things one step at a time.
That same day I received a phone call letting me know that my office number was now forwarded to my cell phone and that my fax to email was ready too.  Cool, I thought.  I didn’t realize being a new agent came with so many perks.  I also got a call from new broker “officially” welcoming me aboard and letting me know who my coach was and that she would call me later that day.
The excitement continued that evening as I showed my husband all my paperwork and told him about all the websites I now have access to.
I jumped on my company’s website and first signed up for both the classes being held on Thursday and I called to make an appointment with our local real estate office to pay all of my fees for Thursday afternoon.  Because I was planning on being in the office Thurs. morning, my coach and I decided we would meet after my first class.
Wednesday I had to take the kids to Dr appts and then spent the afternoon relaxing and preparing for my big first day back at work.
Thursday morning I got an email saying the first class was cancelled and I was pretty disappointed.  Then I got a text from my oldest daughter saying she didn’t feel well and needed me to come pick her up.   So I went to pick her up, called the Dr. to make an appt, called my coach to reschedule our session and just like that my first day “back to work” was completely turned upside down.  I did go to my afternoon appt and pay my fees where I received another new toy. My activekey (it’s what lets you into all the houses that are for sale here).

Keeper of the Plains

The craziness on Thursday which was supposed to be my first "official" day back to work lets me know that I did make the right career choice for me and my family.  The flexibility I have when it comes to taking care of the important things in life just can't be beat!
