Working on this lovely Gulf Island also involves showing a lot of "raw land".    I do drive a 4-wheel drive vehicle.

I drove out a logging road, onto some pristine wilderness that was listed, to show two potential buyers (from Toronto, Canada's largest city) this lovely oceanview undeveloped acreage, and on the way back I noticed that I had a flat tire.    

They said they'd change it for me (I would have called the AAA, but my cell phone wouldn't work, there -- no one wants the cell towers in their back yard, so if you're blanketed by mountains, you don't get a cell signal).   

When they hopped out of my Jeep, though, they told me that I had four flat tires, not just one!     Who knows what I drove over, but it was true, and we weren't going anywhere.   

We walked out until I could get a cell signal, and I called a friend who came out to pick up my clients, so they wouldn't miss the ferry back to the airport, and I ended up waiting for the tow truck (with a flatbed, so could take the Jeep out).    

It was summer, the sun was out, it's a lovely forest in this area, and I was in the middle of an ecological reserve area -- beauty everywhere!     On the other hand, I gave the clients something to talk about, en route home to Toronto -- and, yes, they did buy something in the end, but not that, and not at that timeframe either.

It can be fun, but also challenging, to sell property on this beautiful rural island.    Definitely not like a city environment, at all!
