No, the smartest agent who pushed for the recent "we want deal killing report writing" legislation in Kansas will qualify.

OK, I modified it then: the smartest agent who pushed for the recent "we want deal killing report writing" legislation in Kansas will qualify.

It's an actual house within a building, footers get poured right on the building's floor on Saturday morning. Will be all done by the end of June.

Nick - I have plenty of room - you can build it in my yard! I should check with the HOA. Do inspectors who fail the test have to live in it? Or correct the defects? I met a realtor earlier this week with enough wax on his/her/its face to qualify! I will find out if he/she/it is available for "procurance...".

Seriously, what a great idea! And a super teaching tool. Only from NACHI!
