First Night of Realtor School

[Nick J.]

I'm not planning on writing about every night I go to Realtor school but I thought it was worth mentioning my thoughts on my first class of Realtor School.

I'm attending ASREB, I think it stands for Arizona School of RE & Business or something like that.

The little 20 minute whatever you call it before they stick you in a class wasn't bad at all. No big hype and upsell going on. I appreciated that.

They don't start you off from the very beginning, its more like a cycle of classes and you just get thrown in and the class you just missed will basically be your last class, if that makes sense. I was cool with that I guess.

I can understand them doing that so that every class schedule basically had a full(er) class instead of just the 4 of us newbs tonight.

The topic of tonights class was something like Residential Financing. Basically discussing FHA,VA and Conventional. Interesting, it always has been to me.

What I didn't get though was why a Realtor was teaching the class considering some of the things that were being taught. Now, I understand and agree with why its important for agents to know these things, I just thought a Mortgage Professional should be the one instructing, not a Realtor ya know.

Either way, it wasn't too bad. If you guys/gals have any questions feel free to ask. Again, I won't be discussing every one of my classes, just randomly and certain interesting things that might come up.

Yep and a chain is 20.1168 meters, funny what you remember from a test. The tests are pretty much memorization as they usually show the actual test questions. They may show you 500 questions and you might get 120 on the test. It's something like that here. The Brokers test has some actual thinking involved, LOL

You'll need to memorize the correct answers as you can make assumptions that are not correct.

As to your question, it depends on the shape of the lot and it depends if the road turns away from the frontage.
