Margo laughed. "I knew you'd be good at this. You're smart with computers and with your administrative skills. This is a piece of cake. As soon as we have the opportunity, I'll get you through some of the actualrealtor-typebusiness."

"That sounds wonderful. Thanks, Margo."

Margo's cell phone rang. Quinn Kurtz was on the screen. "Hey, Quinn, how are you doing?"

He chuckled. "I'm doing well. How are you, Margo?"

"I'm doing well. What can I help you with?"

"Well, as it turns out, the first three units in my barracks project are ready to be sold. I was hoping you would like to be the listing agent on those."

"Oh absolutely. I just hired my sister, Carley, as a realtor. She doesn't have her license yet, but she's learning, and I'll bring her over to take a look at them as well. It could be one of her first big projects. We'll work on them together."

Quinn chuckled. "Well, that's two for the price of one. I can't beat that, right?"

"That's right," Margo chuckled. "What's a good time for us to come over and take a look at what you have?"

"I'm here now. I'll be here for another two hours. We're shoring up some work in the upstairs. Those aren't quite ready yet, but I'm working with Jared on them now, and I can give you a better update on timing for those when you get here."

"Great!" Margo glanced at Carley and held her hand up.

Carley nodded.

"We'll leave here now and be there shortly."

"Great, Margo, thanks. I'll see you in a little bit." Quinn ended the call and Margo looked across the office at her sister. "Did you hear any of that, or most of that?"

"I heard some of it. I think I heard Quinn's voice, and he's got something for sale."

"Yes, the first three condos in his barracks project are ready, and we are the listing agent on that."

"Oh, how exciting!" Carley’s smile lit up the room.

"So, here's what I want you to do. Go to the file room. Did Addison show you all of that?"

"Yes, she did."

"Okay, awesome. Go to the file room and bring up five Listing Contracts, a Property Condition Report, the Well Water Report, and the Sewage Report. Then let me know when you're ready. I'm going to use the restroom."

"Okay."

Carley hustled out of the office and across the hall to the file room. Margo grinned. She hadn't seen Carley this excited in quite a while, and then she felt bad for not paying attention to her sister's sadness. She had just stuck her head into work, so she didn't realize how unhappy anybody was, including herself.

She used the restroom, washed her hands, and came out to find Carley waiting. "I'm so excited about this. I brought extra of everything in case I make a mistake."

Margo laughed. "Well, actually, what we're going to do is go through the listing. You will hand write information in, then we’ll then bring it back to the office and type it up, so everything is neat and clean. I didn't know if you were quite ready for that in front of a customer, even one who is a friend, so I thought we'd come back and do it ourselves. Then, we can send it to him as an e-document to sign. He's done this before and is perfectly comfortable with it, so this is great practice for you."

"Excellent! I'm so excited. I can't believe my first day we're able to get a listing."

Margo smiled at her sister's excitement. "You're good luck, Carley."

Her sister hugged her quickly and kissed her cheek. "You're good luck, Margo."

Oh, her heart swelled. She grabbed her purse from her desk and strode toward the back door. As she neared Addison's desk, she said, "We'll be gone for a little while. I don't know if you heard all this hustle and bustle."

Addison grinned broadly. "I did. That's good news."

"It is. So we'll be back around lunchtime. Will you be here?"
