I’m Now Connected with a Prestigious Real Estate Developer!

In my last post, I said: “…wow! I passed as a property consultant of a prestigious triple-A builder-turned-developer, and I have been excited about it!” Yeah! When I was still in Manila, I could not wait to blog about it here – I was just so sure this would be the first thing I’d do when I’d reach home! That’s how thrilled I was about it! So many, many things to “report” and I could imagine many would be eager to know about it too. Hmmm it remains to be seen though. I’ll just share it here.
It was in the seminar that my eyes were opened to many unknown matters that I learned only there. Well, let’s start with the “property consultant”. Actually it’s plain “agent” in the usual real estate world, the one who sells house-and-lots, subdivision lots, condo units, or the like, whose main target is to earn, not minding much at what – and at whose – expense. However, in this company, they try to lift up and change the generally-tarnished image of the “agent” (who would just aim for a fast buck, never mind the after-sales support, of course for the exception of the good ones, who are still of a good number,) and do something so that this would be totally changed to someone more dignified, reliable, knowledgeable, professional even at first glance (that’s why the corporate look, even in their dress code; for one, jeans are not allowed), who can truly discuss with the client about his future real estate stake, who can give him options, ready with computational skills when needed in the field.
So the two-day seminar/workshop was crammed with so much to absorb, each topic had a “handbook” with many facts to memorize, and at the end, in the afternoon of the second day, there was an exam! Whew! And so what happened, only half of the class passed! That’s why the “wow”, as I was not sure I’d be one of those blessed (most others say “lucky”) ones to get out of it with a smile! My edge there was the computation part, being an engineer 
. And I praise God for this!
