We had new neighbors move in this week. They are across the street and to the left one home. Last night when we came home it was dark; but by their little porch light I could see that they were sitting out enjoying the Tarzan Hot Balmy night air. (yeah just a little sarcastic)
I hollared over to them (because in Texas we hollar or mosey over), "hello folks!"... and they waved back.
It occurred to me that in this subdivision as well as the last ones we lived in; no one ever spoke to one another. Most of my neighbors work very hard and a few are retired and are busy working in their yard or doing taxidermy stuff in their garage.
As a REALTOR® no one has ever asked me to look for a neighborhood where all the neighbors are friendly and outgoing. Where street festivities are the norm (like on TV) or a neighbor holds a big back yard BBQ with all the neighbors coming over. And everyone knows everyone else.
The only neighbor I got that was close to the above description was the nosy one next door. She was more like Gladys Kravitz who lived across the street from Darin and Samantha on Bewitched.
I guess it takes work to get to know your neighbors now. Just like it takes work to market yourself. And isn't it a good thing for your neighbors to know you sell real estate. Yeah it does.
So I guess tomorrow I will mosey on over and say howdy and get to know them. You never know who they may know that needs a home or wants to sell one.
