I'm so excited! I blogged back in October about how I took the Arbitration class and I just got my first case! There was a gentleman in the class who was taking it for the second time as a refresher because he took the class over a year earlier and has yet to be chosen. I've been on the registry for about 2 weeks and have already received my first letter.
I was so excited that I didn't want to mail it back, so I scanned and emailed it back to their office. I just received a returned receipt showing they received my email. Now, I get to sit and wait to make sure I'm actually the person chosen for the case!
I'm looking forward to this new and exciting experience.

Margie,
No, I haven't arbitrated a case yet. Property values go out the first week of May and everyone gets 30 days to schedule a dispute with the county. If they don't like that resolution, they'll be able to file arbitration. So, arbitration isn't a year round thing as there are time limits. I took the course at the end of the "season". I'm glad I took the course because I learned a lot. I'm not sure it needed to be three days, as it seems two days would be sufficient, but there is a lot of roll playing on the third day.
