Scotland's Red Door...

In Scotland there are several things that they do different than we do in America but there is one interesting thing that links to Real Estate and it is the painted, "Red Door". It is said that in Scotland the family will paint the door of their home when the mortgage on the house is paid in full. This is interesting because as far as anyone has discovered, they are the only people that have that specific meaning to having the door painted in red. I have also heard that some people in America are starting to take on the trend simply because it let's people know that the family is living a debt-free life and they are "Shouting it from a roof-top". Like I said this is very interesting and there are many more cultures that interpret the "Red Door" differently. However, it would be a great accomplishment to get that mortgage paid and have a unique way of letting people know about it.

College Education? It's Up To You!

There are many things about Real Estate and becoming a Real Estate agent that many people do not know. For example, there is one question that I get a lot from the people that know I want to be a Real Estate agent and the question is... Do you have to have a degree to become one? I answer them, obviously, and tell them that a person does not have to earn a degree to become an agent but there are courses and tests that they must pass in order to be licensed. When I first became interested in Real Estate I was always looking for new information that would help me to take the right path to getting a license. So I started looking for websites and books that would aid in this when I found the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission site at http://www.ok.gov/OREC/Education_and_Exam_Info_to_Obtain_a_License/. This website is very helpful and provides all the correct information that a person must have before earning a license. I have provided information for you to view but if there are any further questions about this please feel free to ask as there is way too much information to put on a single post. Thank you for reading.
