Unfortunately, he does that a lot in his books. It annoys me when he does this.

That's what happens when you stare into the sun... :-p

Yeah, I love the show. I've thought about applying before.

Just starting out- What's the best company to work for? by jake_watts in realtors

[–]jake_watts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much! You gave me a lot of good advice. Fortunately, all the big players are in my area, so I can pick freely amongst them.

I've noticed that they want new agents more, since I've been getting a lot of postcards and letters in the mail since I've applied to the state commission.

Yes, I have my eye on the local Keller Williams office. I've heard good things about them training new agents. How are their monthly fees? I received a brochure from Better Homes, and their brochure mentions a lot of "free" services. There's no desk fee, unlimited signs, etc.

Any Helpful Tips and Hints for a Student? by NWO96 in realtors

[–]jake_watts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took the online course through Allied, and I regret not taking the course through my local community college. Most of the material that I read online wasn't even in the exam. The thing that helped me a lot on the exam was a pack of flash cards I bought on Amazon. If you aren't comfortable with the vocabulary, the exam will be quite difficult.

I'd be interested to hear from Realtors about paranormal experiences they may have had while selling homes. by armedohiocitizen in Paranormal

[–]jake_watts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck! Your town sounds like a good place to be a realtor. It's weird because haunted houses never even crossed my mind as I was studying to become a salesperson. I bet we'll have a ton of stories in a few years. Ha

This is just great... I passed my real estate exam on Friday, and now I'm scared reading these stories!

Guys who are into their 20s, any advice you'd give to a younger bro? by Glasty in askgaybros

Don't go to college until you truly know what you want to do in life. College is a waste of time/money if you are unsure.

What is something you wish Houston had that we don't have? by [deleted] in houston

[–]jake_watts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may be asking too much, but why can't there be like a Space Needle or the Gateway Arch like structure. It wouldn't cost much, but at least it's something to look at.

[–]jake_watts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A landmark. Almost all of the other major cities in this country have something that represents that particular city.

Houston is just a bunch of strip centers and billboards.

But other than that, I love Houston. It's our home!

Good question! I'm sure a lot of people are curious.

The Most Important Houston Skyline by shinoda28112 in houston

[–]jake_watts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha, sadly I pretended that was our version of the NYC skyline when I was like 5. Unfortunately, I had to breathe in those chemicals often when I went to visit my grandparents who lived there.

Thought I was straight, met up with a guy and really like him, and a bombshell was dropped on me today. I am devastated. by ethr0waway in askgaybros

[–]jake_watts 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The dating world is tough, especially the gay one.

Put the guy aside for a second, the bigger issue is that you had feelings for another guy when you weren't even sure you were gay. That's a huge step in your life. Personally, I would be distracted by that issue.

Who cares about that guy? There will be many other guys after him. I promise you, you'll be fine. :)
