Today we had our first closing of a sale!
Our share of the commission is a grand total of $267. -Yay!- $250 will go to a bill that is due, and with the remaining $17 we celebrated by going out to lunch.
John assisted Cody, a young farmer from Knob Lick, in buying an old trailer from a bank (repo) for $10,000 cash. Cody will repair the inside, put in new flooring, etc., and then use it as a rental. (He already has a renter lined up at $400/month.) Low income housing is always needed in this area.
After three+ months of hard studying, John and I took the national and state exams and passed on the first try. Now we are licensed real estate agents! It still seems strange, but it's true. We decided to join the little brokerage in Edmonton that helped us buy our house. The broker is most helpful, and the atmosphere is relaxed.
John's lifetime of business experience, plus legal background, real estate experience and Kentucky experience make him a natural. He is having fun. As for me, I'm not used to working full-time outside the home, or working in an office; but I'm getting more comfortable with it all. It's varied and interesting, and an opportunity to be of help to many people.
We were struggling to find the right work and source of income for so long, and this development is an answer to much prayer and effort. It's the perfect solution.
