Ian Watt: Hi Good Afternoon, It's Ian Watt in
Downtown Vancouver. I just signed up for a Strata course last week at
the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. They offer this courses all
the time and it's mandatory that I believe that every two years we have
to take 18 credits and I think its a fantastic thing that we have to do
because the threshold for becoming a realtor is so damn low that anyone
can do it. And I even know some of this people pass the test but
nonetheless this people have become realtors, we've all become realtors
and we can forget things so quickly. So I took a Strata course
yesterday, it was fantastic they had a lawyer who's specializes in
strata law come and speak to us and she was incredible. It was very
good it's unfortunate though that there's no test all we have to do is
check in the morning show our id and when we leave in the afternoon
show your id again. There's no pass or fail and it's unfortunate that
it's not on-line. But I think it's fantastic I'm very proud of Real
Estate Board of greater Vancouver for doing so and it's only going to
get better. My name is Ian Watt and if you have any questions. You can
alwyas email me at ianwatt@ianwatt.ca. Thank you very much and have a great day!
