More Like, “The Witching Minute”

At least when it comes to continuing education, the witching hour for Realtors is actually more of a minute:  9:16 a.m., to be specific.

That’s when agents arriving for a course are told that they’ve missed the first 15 minutes, and won’t receive credit.

Thankfully, me and several dozen Edina Realty colleagues got a reprieve yesterday when, due to widespread parking problems, the start of the class was delayed from 9 a.m. until 9:15 a.m.

I’m not sure if anyone tried to sneak in after 9:30 a.m. (I always try to sit in front).   🙂

P.S.: Arguably, the real witching hour for Realtors is actually midnight, December 31.

That’s because the most common listing expiration date, by far, is the last day of the year.
