Basically you just need a USDA broker's license, not hard to get, if you're going to buy and sell or have animals under your direct care.  Otherwise, you can just bring buyer and seller together and you don't actually "do" anything with the animals themselves.  Example:  My last brokering deal, I sold a herd of cow and calf pairs, total sale $25,000.  My commission 10% or $2500 for less than an hour actually being involved.  This is the exception though as I knew both parties. Usually would spend several hours over several days. The internet is great for this business and transport is readily available.  Delta is great for transporting small animals and there are transporters for large animals as well.  If you have more questions,  feel free to email me animallady2002@yahoo.com

every listing contract should say the listing agent will use "due diligence" in selling your home (or something similar).  My suggestion would be to contact the agent's broker, tell them what has transpired and ask that another agent take over the listing.  With your complaints known, I would bet the new agent will give you much better service.

As for reporting them to your state's division of real estate, depending on what state you are in, most likely nothing would be done and a case would not even be opened.  They are after fraud-type cases and rarely, if ever, get involved is situations such are yours.

I have seen a lot of people get into BIG messes when they tried to sell their house without an agent.  Believe it or not, agents and their sponsoring brokers DO have a lot of knowledge, most importantly of real estate law, that can save both sellers and buyers many, many headaches.  We also know how to get the best price for your home.  We can be sure buyers are qualified BEFORE they view your home.  Can you imagine what happens when you accept an offer from a prospective buyer who cannot get a mortgage for the amount they need to buy your house???  Your house can be tied up in escrow, and you just wait.  Did you know how to protect yourself when you all signed a contract?  Did you know how to legally protect yourself?  Did you be sure to disclose all that legally must be disclosed?  Did you now how to set time limits on every aspect of the sales and closing process?  Did you know how to get the best possible title insurance rate?  Did you know what should be paid by the buyer and what you should be responsible to pay?  When you set the price of your home, did you make sure it will appraise for that amount so the buyer can finance it?  There is a lot more, but you get the idea.

I know many people think we don't deserve to make the commissions we do, but I would argue that any day of the week.  Yes, I make a lot in real estate, but I also make both buyers and sellers very happy!

Jan<<<~~~Real estate broker and proud of it. 

I told my 18 yo son today about a close family friend and his wife had a baby boy today and that he called me right away to let me know because he was so excited.  My son looked at me and said, "Yeah right mom, really, he had a baby today."  I looked right back at him and said, "Yes son, it takes both people to have the baby, a girl certainly can't get pregnant by herself!" 

This is funny to me because I know my son not sexually active yet (remember I know his girlfriend) and I certainly didn't expect to hear something like that, just reminded me of the little boy my young man still is. 

In one of my word programs I noticed I apparently typed does not too fast and it came up as "doe snot."  The spellchecker didn't pick it up.

After I got done laughing about the poor female deer with post nasal drip, I entered a quick correct in my expansions.

My friend e-mailed me information on this guy posted on a singles dating site.  Here's the scoop on him:

•  Hasn't worked in over 2 years but "looking as I've run out of money."


• Wife died theoretically suddenly in September.


• He's losing his home next month to foreclosure and is looking to move anywhere he can. 

I reckon' that since he has a pulse he considers himself a good catch, eh ladies?  Sounds like a true moocher to me who is looking for someone with a home that he can move into and probably expect you to pay the bills!   I'll stay single forever as opposed to letting someone like that into my life.  I don't know many people who have a spouse die suddenly that are looking to hook up with another person within 2 months... much less the other red flags!  My friend wasn't serious that I should be interested in him - she just thought that I'd appreciate the fact that at least I'm not THAT desperate to hook up with someone!

Dancing with the Stars?  She was an actress, she said.  She didn't have to compete with others or work to get the acting jobs, thanks to daddy Ryan, LMAO!  Maybe that is why reality TV is becoming so popular.  People would rather watch reality TV than bad acting.  HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Okay, now who is going to defend this woman who had her most embarrassing moment....

Have you checked into seeing what is required of someone to become a fellow of the AAMT?  It is a lot of work, believe you me.  And, it is not just the education--it's community service, holding offices in the organization, as well as the continuing education part of it. 

I work for a surgeon who is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons.  It works basically the same way---they have to prove that they have completed so much continuing education, hold offices in organizations, community-type services, etc.

Basically, just being a "fellow" just means that you've gone above and beyond what an ordinary person in your organization does.  Honestly, I think it is an honor; a matter of distinction, even if it is just AAMT.  It just sets yourself apart from everyone else; says that you are a hard worker.

Been so short, my feet rarely hit the floor in a restaurant, a train, and especially in a plane they do not reach. I never minded being short until I hit my 40s.....and those top kitchen cabinet shelves cause I probably stopped CLIMBING in my 40s.  *LOL*...had my kid(s) climb to get things, but then they moved out...*lol*....so I try not to store things on those top shelves that I need on a regular basis.

Also, not that I'm that overweight cuz I'm not these past 10 years, but I always said I'm not overweight, I'm undertall...*L*

Please tell your b/f that I thank him for being a considerate soul....a rarity in this life, eh?

the videos posted are absolutely ridiculous.

I found this on YouTube yesterday and wanted to share. It's done by med students and is reall well written and funny. I don't do cardiology, but still got a big kick out of it (and learned some things).

I'm German so I guess I am at the bottom of the hiring list. 

she was going to charge 16 cents per line.  No experience whatsoever. 

10 minutes! I was working and he escaped into the garage from the kitchen. We live on a little farm with 2 big dogs. He doesn't go out alone, so I knew he wasn't out wandering..

I finally find him by going into the garage and the driver door to my Yukon XL is wide open.  I walk up to him putting on my makeup in the mirror! Mary Kay full-coverage liquid makeup all over my leather seat and steering wheel! The mirror was down and lit up, eye shadow on the floorboards!  He turned to look at me and there was mascara all of his lips.  I wish I could take a pic for ya'll.  I was just about to yell at the top of my lungs until I saw those black lips and then I just had to walk away for fear of laughing right in his face

The funny thing is this: I never realized that they would watch me put my make up on in the car like that! He had to go in the security box on the side to get to it in the first place!

I guess he just wants to be like his momma.  Well, his daddy won't be happy about that one.  He's already upset that my little one is enrolled in gymanastics. Oh no!
