I have been doing some showings here in Chicago at my listings via bike since last year and I definitely have been thought of as crazy by some in our car-centric industry. I also have taken a client out on the back of a tandem for an open house Sunday tour and had some clients out last year on the tandem while I rode solo. Great fun and they bought a house....but we drove to that one :(<br>I also was showing my places via scooter for the past 5 years and I think that confused fellow agents more than the bicycle...but not anymore.Patrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02769236390773203577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288241767940554093.post-35193287866249058172008-09-10T13:15:00.000-07:002008-09-10T13:15:00.000-07:00Thanks for dropping by, Patrick.
