Cubs Baseball and Active Rain

Sometimes I get where I cannot think of anything to post. The problem is that I have so many thoughts I can't write them all. I have posted a couple of baseball post just to talk sport and baseball with fellow Rainer's. Never did I think that it would lead to an interview.

Yesterday, I receive a call from a potential seller who was googling and ran across my Cubs baseball post. Turns out that I am not the only Chicago Cub fan in Southeast Louisiana. My wife and I watch just about every evening. The seller states she read and was happy to see a Realtor who was as much a Cub fan as her family.

This evening we met after the cubs lost and decide to stage her home and prepare for the listing in about two weeks. I always knew that baseball and real estate were my passion but never did I think that this would happen.

Who would have thought that the first place Chicago Cubs could lead to business in Southeast Louisiana?

Every differentiator matters, doesn't it? :-) 

This die-hard Cubs fan used to live in Metairie.  You never know what'll happen in October!

Steve, I hope you did not leave Metairie because of Katrina. Yes, this could be next year.

Judi, that is exactly what I found out. We know that, everything is readable on the Internet but does anyone really read. I guess I found out that answer.

Frank, no I left a while back, but I have some good friends who've had to rebuild, by the lake and on the West Bank.  I had some favorites in Kenner but didn't make it to Destrehan much, how are things turning out?

I just had lunch TODAY with a LO that beat Kerry Woods 2-0 in double A ball.  Of course, the LO did not make it to the Majors..but what a great experience.

 

How can ANYONE not like the Cubbies.

Steve, very slow in the city. I have very little business in Orleans Parish. Jefferson Parish is close to normal.

Frank that is pretty cool wouldn't it be nice to see the Red Sox and Cubs in a World Series someday.

Karen, I saw your post yesterday. Thanks for including my post in your thoughts. It is short but at that time I was reaching. The property is listed and hopefully will move before long. Good to hear from you.
