Training

Sorry I haven't posted for a few weeks but I have been busy with formal training. This is my first day back in the office after a solid 2 weeks of sitting in a classroom and learning about everything real estate. I would love to say that it was an epic 2 week adventure filled with stories and comaraderie, but alas, it wasn't. Either way, I am glad to be back and posting, hopefully I will have a good story after this week.

*Random Real Estate Joke*

Joe walks up to St. Peter's Gate on his way into heaven. Before he can go in, he gets stopped at the gate by God. God says,

"Joe, we have been doing things a little bit different lately. Today, I am going to give you a tour of heaven. Tomorrow, the devil will give you a tour of hell. After you have seen both places, you can make a decision on where you would like to go."

Joe agrees and walks with God through heaven. On his left he sees crystal clear lakes filled with 78 degree water perfect for bathing. On his right he sees men and women in long white robes playing gorgeous melodies on harps. In front of him, he sees an endless line of fluffy white clouds and he is immediately at peace. Joe tells God that he is happy in heaven and doesn't even need to see hell. God responds by telling Joe that everyone has to see both places so they can make an informed decision.

So the next day Joe walks into hell lead by the Devil. On his left he sees an open bar with gorgeous women holding drinks for him. On the right he hears music by his favorite band being blared throughout the grounds and in front of him he sees baseball being played nonstop.

The next day he goes back to God and says, "I can't believe I'm going to say this but God, I think I want to stay in Hell."

God grants him his wish and the next day he shows up in Hell. He arrives in Hell only to find fire where there was a bar, nails on a chalkboard coming from the right and people doing jumping jacks in front of him. He is very confused and finds the devil, only to ask "Devil, what happened to everything I saw yesterday?"

The Devil responds, "Well Joe, yesterday you were a prospect. Today, you're a client."




P.S. Don't get the wrong idea because working with me wouldn't be like that!!
