Walking the Neighborhood

Today, Kim and I spent our morning walking our neighborhood door to door to connect/reconnect with our neighbors. I have to admit, I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.

Our purpose was twofold. To get to know the people in our neighborhood better and to get out the word that we are Professional Realtors. While we would be more than happy to obtain some new clients, our main purpose was really to just to connect with the neighborhood we are a part of. We are very proud of our neighborhood. Our homes were built in 1987-1988 and we are very close to our sons' elementary school which is a designated California Blue Ribbon school.

We set off with a postcard we created about our services and we agreed that we would not be one of those pushy sales people that show up on our doorstep from time to time. Sure, if someone wanted to discuss the market we would be happy to do so. But we decided if we got any feeling that the person wanted to be left alone, we would do so.

It turned out to be a great day! Met lots of nice folks and we feel better about our neighborhood than ever. If someone wants to use us as their Realtor that would be terrific. But it was especially nice to get to know our neighbors better.
