Mike, that's a great idea. So good, in fact, that our broker organizes office caravans once or twice a month. Those of us who attend enjoy seeing what's out there and available, but the same people always go. I'm wondering how everyone else becomes familiar with the inventory. I know I've been surprised on more than one occasion when internet pictures proved to be deceiving. Sometimes the pictures make the property look much better than it actually is, and sometimes the pictures just don't do the property justice. If there's a better way than caravan, I hope someone shares it with me!

You know, Lola and Linda, I think ours will eventually be resurrected, because there's really nothing that is a suitable substitute. Before I placed my license with Exit, I rode around trying to familiarize myself with the neighborhoods. It wasn't time effective, and was pretty much hit or miss. Another strategy was attending as many Open Houses as I could on Saturdays and Sundays. Needless to say, that used up most of my free weekend time... certainly not the answer. I just don't know what could replace it. I'd welcome any ideas out there.
