Mortgage School - We’re Done!  We Are…Mortgage Agents

Leigh-Ann and I had our last evening of mortgage school tonight.  We took our final (we both got 100%+ - there were bonus questions that we rocked, we were happy to have those bonus points) and got our certificate of 45 hours of Real Estate Finance continuing ed that will be registered with the state licensing board.  All in all, we really enjoyed the class and learned a lot.  We would’ve been a lot happier if the class had been closer to our house, but I suppose we can’t blame the school for that.  Now, we’re looking for brokers to hire us.  We iz s-m-r-t.  We’re creative - for class everyone was supposed to make up “impact statements” for scenarios when meeting people at, say, the grocery store and trying to sell ‘em your wares.  That is so NOT us, and so NOT how we want to work this business.  We want to advertise online (no, not spam - we have never and will never, send unsolicited email - that’s skanky), in niche magazines, on various blogs, by word of mouth, etc.  Anyway, to demonstrate our advertising ideas, we came up with these flyers.  The websites on them are either not real or are not owned by us.  The ads sure were fun to think up.  By the way, the Sandy Murphy one might need a bit of explanation.  She was on trial for murdering Ted Binion.  Long trial, blah, blah, blah.  Convicted, overturned, set free, apparently owes the sugar daddy $4.5 million dollars now.  She’s working for a mortgage company and says she’ll have him paid back in two years.  That’s, uh, some mighty quick commission makin’.  Anyway, our ads - http://flickr.com/photos/mudpuppy/sets/72157594314845354/ - Leigh-Ann did all the artwork.  But remember, they were just thrown together for class, they’re not ready for prime-time yet, or even subprime-time, heh.  That’s the second mortgage joke I’ve been able to make.  Yeah, so what if it wasn’t funny?
