I was getting burier and busier with all my listings and sales, and I knew that I would need to hire at least one agent to help me when I became a bro...ker. So, in addition to studying for the exam and taking care of all my clients, I started advertising. I put up job postings on the bulletin boards in two local business colleges, and although I couldn’t legally stipulate that I only wanted to interview pretty women, I screened out all male applicants in the first phone conversation.My goal was. “I suppose that could be a complication.” Only after I said that did I realize what we had both said. This wasn’t going to be only a one day fling.“What are you thinking?” she asked.I looked at her again. “Um ... I uh...” I swallowed to clear my throat and tried again. “I was thinking about ... us.”“What about us?”“Well ... you said a doctor and patient aren’t supposed to become ... well, you know.”“Uh-huh.”“And ... Well ... I said it could be a complication ... Like this isn’t all we were. ”She laughed sadly. “Of course, I have an agenda here. I want to make sure the man who considers me his adopted grandmother is happy. That being said, it is your life. All I intend to do is provide a neutral meeting ground. If it goes south, if you don’t like her answers to your questions, I’ll support you completely if you walk away. I have no idea how you’re going to handle breaking the news to Katie.

I think we should do a market study to see how big an operation we should go for.”“What about Jake. Are we going to buy him out?”“Dan, I’m thinking no. The land would be too expensive. Jake is young and smart. Make him the manager for this operation. Let him keep the land in his name but have him use what money he has now to pay the taxes and keep the land which would be his fall-back position. We’ll figure out how much the buildings and equipment is.
