I started selling real estate in Illinois in the late 70's. Of course, it was a time when most individuals didn't qualify for a 17.5% loan, and the banks were very selective.

I decided to start an entirely different business--the wholesale and retail drapery business. However, it was not a business I really enjoyed. I moved to Georgia 13 years ago. I decided to take the Georgia Real Estate Exam. It, definitely, was the right thing to do.
