These days in Real Estate take a lot of great ideas to make you successful. I for many years drove a PT Cruiser that was done up with RE/MAX Logo's and my Groups name (The PaveyGroup) phone numbers, websites and more. I rode around in this thing for four years. It has diffinitely got my name around town. People always ask me where is the Car. I almost feel bad to explain that I sold it. I have found that sellers pay attention to what you pull up in, when you come for the listing appointment. It really is about what you drive … (14 comments)
