Welcome Stephanie, I love your intro and your profession.

I've just moved to the Boston area as I continue to work my profession in the US Air Force.

Due to the age of the home and the fact that the seller has professed ignorance,  I have ask my buyers agent to include a lead based paint test in the PnS agreement. 

As a result, a lot of people in the medical profession live in Pearland.

I was actually a profession poker player once upon a time.

Just like any other profession, there are good and not so good in every field, including agents and brokers. 

@Anthony Gayden, there are some Blue collar investors on here, it would take possibly looking at each profile or reaching out to people to find out, a lot of people do not put their profession along with the picture on the forums, I do not know if you are Blue collar where as mine and @Paulo Bermudez mention what we do, so it's hard to know what most people do, if they work, the thing is most of the advice here is from investors that are trying to do what they can while learning and helping others along the way and it is always good to get advice from people that look at things differently.

So I would not consider that surface knowledge, but I am not professing to be an expert on the exact inter working  socioeconomic factors of every house and street in Western Hamilton County. 

The distinction of Real Estate professional is deriving your income from spending more than xxx hours working in the Real Estate profession.

They should be able to take your agency pay as long as you have been in the same profession for the last 2 years.
