I think I got an internship at an appraisal company!

I know that directly asking for mentors on here isn't allowed so I decided to just call some local real estate companies near where I live and asked if anyone wanted free labor. It took about 15 calls but someone eventually bit! It was weird how long it took for someone to agree to free labor!

I'm going in this blind but the owner seemed pretty straight-forward and inviting so I feel optimistic. I might be played for a sucker but hey, what else should I be spending my winter break on? I think it could be enlightening either way.

It's an appraisal company and they're called Butler Burgher Group and they're in Costa Mesa. They work primarily in commercial real estate which I wasn't originally interested in but over time I've started to really like the idea.

Any thoughts?

So everything went well! I start actually getting into the work tomorrow.

The manager was talking a lot about paid work in the future once they see what I can do! I am simply going to be working on appraisal reports and getting my certification on the side.
