Real estate broker

Read a random definition: Pre-existing duty doctrine

A quick definition of Real estate broker:

A real estate broker is a person who has a special license to help people buy, sell, or rent houses, buildings, and offices. They are different from regular real estate agents because they have more training and can work on their own or hire other agents to work for them. To become a broker, you need to have worked as an agent for a while and pass a test. Brokers get paid when they help someone buy or sell a property, and they do important things like preparing contracts and setting up special accounts to keep the money safe.

A more thorough explanation:

A real estate broker is a licensed professional who helps people buy, sell, and rent properties like houses, buildings, and offices. They have a higher-level license than real estate agents, which allows them to work independently or run their own brokerage firms.

To become a broker, a person must have worked as a real estate agent for a certain number of years and completed additional training and a written exam. Once licensed, brokers earn commissions on real estate transactions, often at a higher rate than agents.

Brokers handle the technical aspects of real estate transactions, such as preparing contracts and establishing escrow accounts. They also oversee agents who work for them.

For example, if someone wants to sell their house, they might hire a real estate broker to help them find a buyer. The broker would handle the paperwork and negotiations, and earn a commission when the sale is complete.

or umich
you should apply cornell. the lrap covers your loans if you make less than 120k a year. so you could do PI and get your loans forgiven with PSLF. i think you’d have a good shot at cornell

waspy wants everyone to go to Cornell and hang out with him
yes, i am cornell’s #1 glazer and recommend it to everyone

I've seen UGA give big money to mid 170s mid 3s before
good for big law and good for PI because no one does PI at cornell
@BruceSutter: NC, VA/DC, or Cali most likely. Also have ties to Chicago and Cinci
13:30
I've also seen a few UGA grads go to Charlotte
plus we can drink milk tea together
13:31
I'd add Northwestern and Gulc for sure although you might only get half at most at T14s if you get in. worth a shot though
that's the thing, I'd love to go to Gtown but I could never afford it in a million years lol. I still have to sort some shit out with the VA to determine if I have GI Bill eligibility, in which case fuck it we ball. But money is a big factor otherwise since I have 0 interest in BL
@TurboSplitter: look into schools LRAPs, a lot of schools will pay your loan payments if you do PI.

@TurboSplitter: I had to petition with the VA to get my GI Bill back but it worked. Takes like 30-90 days and free college is worth it

I didn't lose it for bad reasons, predatory undergrad that over charged and drained nearly all of it for 6 classes
:o That's so horrible

A lot of schools will target and prey on active duty and veterans to steal as much of the GI bill as they can. It is ridiculous because the Army promoted and told me to attend the school

waspy come to nyc and we will drink milk tea
That's absolutely disgusting that universities do that. Also milk tea is delicious \(≧▽≦)/
@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: I'm in a weird gray area. When my dad died we became eligible for the Fry Scholarship, which is just the GI bill but for surviving families. I used that all up for undergrad, but my dad also transferred his GI to us before he died. So the question is, can I use that even though I already used the Fry Scholarship. There is an insane amount of conflicting info on that, so until I sit down with the VA I'll never know for sure
For now I'm assuming I have jack shit and will be pleasantly surprised to learn otherwise lol. Somewhere should hopefully give me a full ride otherwise it's LRAP time

OOOOOOO Okay I remember you talking about that. Did you ever reach out to the gold star family organization to get set up for it? You or your mom can log into the VA website and just apply. It is a 2-4 week turn around
