New member & interested in a career in real estate.
Hi everyone,
My name is Mercedes, I'm a recent college grad and after a short stint in PR, I've come to realize I'm not as happy as I thought I'd be working a 9 to 5. I've always loved homes, architecture and interior design. Most young girls liked Vogue, my favorite magazines as a child--I kid you not hahaha--were: Architectural Digest, New Homes Guide and Apartment Guide.
I'm currently enrolled in an online course with The CE Shop to receive my salesperson license in DC. It's my hope come spring that I can hit the ground running in any capacity possible.
I'm very excited and thrilled at the prospect to join this community. Any tips or advice to what someone, who is still taking the course to receive their license, can do to help heighten their success rate upon certification? ^_^
