Shhhh I'm not supposed to be telling anyone about this. So don't tell her I told you.
My daughter, AChrome (21) , is taking her Pennsylvania Real Estate License Exam soon. (I better not write the date in case a local reader reads and then says something to her - I'd be in Trou-ble!). She only told me cause she wants a celebratory dinner at Olive Garden in the case of a pass. I don't care why - I'm happy and honored she did!
I am so proud of AChrome (guess if she gets licensed, she'll be happy to have me plaster her real name all over the place :).....
She went to Real Estate classes while working full-time at RE/MAX Main Line and going to school full-time ! She also is heavy into social networking, works out at the gym, spends quality family time with us (and her almost 5 year old sister, LittleOne), and lives on her own in an apartment!
I don't know how she is fitting in study time - and she might just go "on-the-fly" to take this and see how she does. It's not an easy test - that's for sure, but regardless of the outcome.....
If you'd like to wish her well.... please do.... I'll let her see this... eventually :)

Best wishes to your daughter!
Good luck to your daughter, mine passed the California exam a few months ago. Hopefully both will have a great career in RE.
Congratulations in advance! We have a mother/daughter team that sets in the cubicle next to us. They have a great relationship and a wonderful time working together.
Richard, Thanks so much! She appreciates it :)
Robert, That's great. Stress on a parent eh....
Peter, Hope to one of these days!
A.Chrome, Are there really bad pictures of you? You aren't supposed to see this yet - wait till the love comes! Sneaky Kid, you! Good luck though :)
Kim, how exciting!!! I love working with my daughter, it is wonderful and she is my retirement plan. No reason to sell the business, she can inherit it and that is exciting. Let us know when she takes it and passes.
Hi Kim~ That is so awesome, I know how proud you are! My little sister just passed her exam a few months ago, and just closed her first escrow, YAY!!! Please give her my congrats!!
Is that a picture of your daughter? Ya'll look like sisters, not mother and daughter! I know you are proud of her! Who can resist Olive Garden!! Mmm, tasty!
I'm impressed! Congratulations to her! And you! I fully understand being proud - she has certainly given you a reason.
what a great mom you are!....sniff sniff...
Well congrats and Happy mother's day! Thanks for sharing with up. Your secret is safe!=)
Kim I wish her the best!!! Please do post when she passes!! Keep me updated
Kim, will she want to work along with you? Our daughter works on our team. Sometimes my Real Estate Professional Assistant (yes, that is a designation!) duties include babysitting our two grandsons! Not complaining. Our daughter's out with clients making us proud.

MOM, looks like you did a great job with AChrome. You should be very proud of her. Best of luck to AChrone with her test.
Hi, AChrome!! I'm fully expecting you to KICK THIS TEST'S ARSE, OK???
You can do it!!!
And you know what? We should all do Olive Garden either way. If you have to take it again, no biggie. We'll have breadsticks and salad and celebrate another chance to celebrate in the future. :)
Missy, I've loved meeting your daughter! It's fun and "trying" at the same time, I'm sure :)
Laura, Thanks. Yes, I am! Congrats to your sis!!! I bet you are proud too :)
Lindsay, Thanks, Girl! I love those compliments - and yep - it's her (She's more gorgeous than me, for sure)
Carol, I'm impressed she has gotten this far! Thanks!
Steve, :) LOL, you needed tissues :)
Terrie, True! And my birthday - didn't even think of those!
Jeanette, I won't need to post - you'll hear my shouts - but ok.
Debbie, Over time perhaps. For now she is in conveyancing and an Assistant for Top Producer - she's busy!
Kathy, Yeah, I'm sure it's a little rocky - and would be with us - but love rules all :) Congrats on grandbaby! She'll join in soon, I bet!
Sharon, Thanks!
Sarah, Awh... thanks for coming by to wish her well! I think OG with YOU would be fun. How am I gonna stay away from OG Breadstix??? !!!! (Maybe just one)
a.chrome-Congratulations! I'm sure you will pass with no problem! You go girl!!!
Congrats to you A.Chrome and to you too Mom!! Thanks for sharing!
You should be proud. Congratulations in advance, I'm sure she will do fine!
Update from my mobile at test center......
SHE PASSED !!!!!!!
I am sure she will do well. It is in her genes. Congratulations in advance.
Kim, I also work with my daughter! It is a wonderful life!!! You will have a blast and congratulate your daughter for us! Later in the rain~Deb
Congrats to your beautiful daughter. How exciting for both of you. I can't believe you are old enough to have a grown up daughter. What a wonderful new chapter you are going to start!
Nice job...you make your momma so proud
AChrome,
Congrats!
Although this a not a deterrent, do not stress if you do not pass the first time around. As I understand it, most people don't. In fact, I discovered that many of the people who did best on the practice tests in class didn't pass the actual exam the first time around. I know that most (except for one in the class) knew the answers, but they didn't come to them during the actual exam. It's so easy to get all worked up and stressed out over it. I know that I second guessed every single answer I gave.
I imagine you wanted to keep it a secret just in case you didn't pass the first time around, but don't let it knock you off your horse if you don't. Real estate is in your genes!
Good luck!!!!!!!!!!
I think the fact that she is working full time while getting the license will make her appreciate it more and value it more and make her work harder to keep it. I know that was the case with me! I know out of everyone in my class of 40 only two still have their license and out of those 45 only 2 paid for it themselves and were working full time while in class. The rest were paid for by mommy and daddy or a spouse and they didn't work while in class. (They just didn't appreciate it)
Good for her! I hope she flourishes and does fantastic. Theses kids are so good at socializing these days that it has to help in the real estate business. Cheers!
Good luck to your daughter and what a beautiful thing to be proud of! I didn't tell my family until I was licensed either so I understand her secrecy over it. It can be intimidating.... Congrats and well wishes.
Kim - I see from the comments that she passed! Congratulations to her - have you had the Olive Garden dinner yet?
Congrats! I started my business about a year and a half ago - My son and daughter in law got their license about 8 months ago and we work as a team and I absolutely love it! Good Luck!
