Welcome to Vermont. Squatters can do as they wish and the police are trying to prove a point to the state government, so they aggressively won't do shit.

Be exceedingly careful whom you let into your house, because right now the process of getting them out is completely busted.

And if the current tenant decides to renew their lease, and keeps paying then, there is absolutely nothing you can do. And why would the landlord do anything when they already have a paying tenant?

My license was in a different state so it may vary a bit in VT. To sell a home you need a real estate sales person’s license. That license must operate under a broker. The agency you work for typically will have one or more brokers in it who acts as a coach and advisor. Some agencies will have a difference in commission split. The agencies that pay a bigger split usually require more investment from you on things like advertising your listings and buy office materials. Agencies that pay a lower split will generally provide all that for you. After 5 years experience, you can apply for a broker’s license which would be required if you wanted to start your own brokerage and leave your current one. Most realtors do not apply for brokers licenses.

Realtor is a trademarked term and refers only to real estate salespeople who are members of the National Association of Realtors. You will likely join this if you work for a traditional local brokerage. Alternative real estate sales channels like Redfin and Sold by Zillow probably don’t join NAR, though I don’t know too much about them. I haven’t practiced real estate in a while.

That's pretty awesome. I consider giving up my phone every now and then, but I am too weak. Props to you for actually doing it.

>But on a supposedly secure banking app?! What the actual fuck?!!!

Yeah, it's a pretty normal practice, unfortunately. There's trackers on all sorts of shit you'd think is private. I even found one on a major pharmacy brand's COVID test appointment scheduling and results page a while back that was leaking patient data and made national news. It's just depressingly normalized.

The rope tow is higher up the hill by the T-bar. The Mitey Mite handle tow is incredibly slow and easy to use.

Besides, for first-time skiers, you don't ride the lift. They have you side-step up the hill to get a feel for your skis under your feet. They do this at pretty much all hills; Okemo has an entire slope dedicated to first-timers side-stepping uphill and snowplowing down.

You won't get a better and more affordable lesson anywhere else, I think Cochran's is great for first-timers. Bolton Valley, which also has a handle tow, which look like a bunch of big floppy rubber horse dongs, also is great. The beginner slope is entirely enclosed by trees so no out-of-control skiers ever come blasting down the hill behind you, and it's a very wide and gentle grade -- probably better in that regard than even Cochran's. And they're close to one another.

Those are my two picks. Cochran's probably has the edge over Bolton for ski school quality, though Bolton probably comes out on top if you want a good lesson and have a fetish for big blue rubber horse wang.

What reason do you have to believe the person won’t vacate on the 1st? If they’ve stated as much, it’s important for the landlord to know. Burlington has some of the most tenant-friendly rental laws in the US, which in this case could work against you. If the landlord has to evict this person, it could take a long time if they are being truly stubborn about it. Try to figure out a plan B and hope for the best. If you have a signed lease, you do have the right to be in the place when the lease starts, even if this other person didn’t leave yet.

Apparently, they can be evicted in Winter: "NOTICE: A tenant can be evicted at any time of year, even in the winter, and even if the tenant has children or a disability, provided the tenant has been given a proper notice and legal process." When my in-laws evicted someone (1985) they had to go to court and the process took a couple months.

Awesome, thank you for the information.

Just to clarify, I wouldn't be able to apply for "real estate agent" openings, correct? Or would that be the position and I just wouldn't be qualified to sell my own while going through training and taking the test?

All realtors start with 0 experience except for maybe having bought or sold their own home. They will set you up with training.

The test is fairly easy. The one textbook I got was pretty short and simple. It also just helps you pass the test. The test questions aren’t really what you need to know to sell real estate. The company you work foe’s training will help you with that.
