A Texas RE License Journey

I'm going to use this thread to hold myself accountable, and hopefully help anyone else who may learn from my experiences!

After launching my own website in 2012, Go To Thread Here...

Dabbling in direct mail with @Jerry Puckett in 2013-2014...

Working leads for @John Chapman & @Jon Klaus over the last 3 years...

And sending out some more mail in 2015...

I'm ready to take the next logical step for me in my real estate career.

The "License Timeline" starts in the next post.

I'M OFFICIAL!!!

9/1/15 - Received an email late last night that I saw first thing this morning telling me I have been issued an "inactive" license.  Which means they don't have record of broker sponsorship.  Remember earlier in the thread I mentioned I had her send off the letter the day after I applied.  I guess they didn't get it....And I'll have to mess with the online process to add her sponsorship......

9/2/15 - 733am I recieved another email making me feel much better. It was my actual active license. :) I'm 100% officially a Texas Licensed Real Estate Salesperson. I also went down to the Greater West Metro Association of Realtors to pay my dues, and get my MLS Access set up. I have a meeting set up tomorrow to watch a video on using Matrix (our MLS software), and some other things.

For those in the Parker County area, fees are as follows:

Yearly Dues $500 or so after $150 setup fee  (mine were prorated of course)

MLS Access $150 or so per quarter

Supra Key (if desired) $60/quarter after $30 setup fee.  

Once I'm done with everything tomorrow, I'll make a new thread detailing the CORRECT process to follow for anyone who wants to get a license in TX :)
