A Day Off From Real Estate In Huntsville, Alabama

I think this was the first day (or at least half day) that I've been away from real estate in months. A clients house just went under contract and since we are both Harley riders decided to take a ride together before he left the state. The home he just sold is near Lake Guntersville (waterfront/access homes) with a lot of nice roads to take getting there and Sunday was the day we'd test out some of those roads. 

Below is a photo of our bikes on Sunset Dr Trail looking out at the Lake.

Below is a map of the area.

 

After a few twists and turns we made it to Guntersville Dam and despite the warnings we did see some fishermen that went out into the white water to fish...just a little dangerous!

It was a great day for riding with temps starting out in the 40's F and leveling out in the mid 60's. Every now and then it's good to get out and clear the cob webs, spending time with a client I've come to like very much. He's a real stand up guy who is making a difference in our country and our safety...wish I could post a photo of him and give him a proper shout out, but I think he'd have to kill me.

 Sorry Maureen for not asking you to go for a ride, but it was last minute.

Hi Nick: What a nice ride you have. It probably felt like riding with the wind.

See what a nice break can do? You were able to write a great market report.

Nick,

I think this was the greatest and most thoughtful gift you gave your client! I can't think of another Realtor who ever did something like this. Talk about being creative! Also, was a well deserved gift you gave yourself too. I think you will both remember this day forever and I hope it's not the last time the two of you ride together.

Sorry that it has been so long getting back to this post, but that's what happens when you take some time off...at least that's what happens when I take time off! I've been slammed with showings and offers...even an accepted offer for a buyer client. I'm kind of running on no sleep, but NOT complaining. I'll get by to your individual posts to comment as soon as I can...and thanks for all your great comments.
