My business partner, Brent Sainsbury, is giving up his car (anyone need to buy a BMW?). We have teamed up with Community Car here in Madison, which is a car sharing program. He plans on using one of the Hybrids when he needs to drive clients. Otherwise he will walk, bike or bus around town.
When we have clients moving into a downtown condo, we purchase them a membership to Community Car. I must admit, I was a bit skeptical-of all the professions out there, it would seem that a real estate agent should have a car. I think he will be able to make it work and it sets a great example for our clients. Many people that we work with want to move downtown so they can give up the second car or go car-less and bike/bus to work.
We did get some free press out of it. There was a big party to celebrate the people who divorced their car. The next morning our local news did interview Brent. Once I get that clip, I will see if they let me post it.
Brent in the Daily Page.
Are there any other agents that are going car-less?
