Kate, how is it going for you? How does your mother like RE? I'm finding that there are a lot of costs involved in getting started, more than when I was a realtor in Arizona 20 years ago. I PASSED the state exame! Yeah! Now I am looking for an agency that I want to be involved with. Nothing is harder than selling my book about child sexual abuse and domestic violence, so I ought to do OK with selling houses! Hannelore, I don't know how it would be to do RE in another country with another language.
