A repetitive theme here on the blog lately has been about homes. I've been watching HGTV religiously for more than 10 years. I remember back when Carol Duvall and Candace Olson were HGTV celebs... I may not have formal training in interior design (yet), but I have sure developed a passion for home design and homes. A perfect Saturday afternoon would consist of attending open houses just because I want to know what the inside looks like. I want to know what kind of floors the house has, what kind of counters are in the kitchen, and how many closets are inside too. I have been obsessed with homes, layouts and decor, for a majority of my life.
I am a Virgo and I like certainty... the real estate market doesn't provide that. Teaching does. And I had to go to college for something, so I chose teaching. And while teaching has it's benefits, literal benefits, vacation days, etc., I have not been fueling my passion, until 2 weeks ago when I took the plunge and enrolled in Real Estate School. I still have hours to fulfill, and tests to take, and a broker to find, but I will be a Real Estate Agent soon.
What this means, to start, is that I will still be a teacher but with a Real Estate License. I can't afford to abandon my career that pays my own mortgage, but this is the first step to fulfilling my passion. I don't even know if being a Real Estate Agent is going to fill the void, but I think it's a start on my multi-tiered real estate life goals.
So this is my big announcement to friends and family: If you are thinking about listing your home or finding one, let's see if our timing matches up. I will be a newbie in a field of many experienced (sometimes competitive) agents, but I am obsessed with homes and will be very excited to help you find one of your own that will work for you and your loved ones which will yield you the results you are looking for.
This house is what my dreams are made of. If I could, I would totally buy this property in New Haven. #goals
