I have seen agents in cars of all types and even a motorcycle for business purposes. What strikes me is as real estates evolves on the Internet .. It seem there is also a shift in the way homes are shown.
Example.. my first car in RE was the Camry in the mid 90's 4 door for buyer clients. Then bigger to the Yukon , actually because I was more of a list agent and needed good sign room. I loved the Yukon but traded for the Toyota Sequoias when they came out . Drove that for almost 10 yrs. Probably one of my favorites. But I realized something... Most buyers in the 2000's were more independent and wanted to follow me in their cars for various reasons. Many had car seats for the kids and after our initial tour we would be meeting for two or three homes at a time at the properties ... it occurred to me buyers really weren't in my car as much although my business was booming in comparison to the 90's. I downsized to a Mercedes E350 Sport a few yrs ago when gas was at $4.25 /gal . I love the luxury of it but missed the ability to toss a sign in back and the extra "space". Yesterday I went big again....
Good Bye : 
Hello :
My business is close to 50-50. Buyers/ Listings. I also do Commercial and New Construction/Development so Ive had my share of nails and flats. This gal should be more suitable for the terrain and provide me the space for signage . Many of you know I work the beach as well so she can get permitted to drive on the beach fall to spring !! Heck yeah !!! My dogs are going to really love this vehicle !!!
Is your car conducive to your needs at work or home ?? As I raised my two kids and toted their friends from ballet and football many days of the week I appreciated the SUV purchases I made for my job as they paid of in my home life.
How do you see your vehicle in your business plan ????
