Looking for Garage Geek Agents

Don't let the garage fanaticism stop with cars, some of us love to transform that 3rd staff into an awesome woodshop.  Take mine for example, hard run air compressor lines, over 15 outlets on 3 different breakers, multiple built it, hidable workstations.  It was alot of hard work, but it can go from a parking spot to woodshop in a matter of minures.

What a great way to niche yourself, Lane - The Realtor for Car People! How long have you focused on this niche? Is it working well for you?

 

 

Lane - I am with you on the real estate agents who are clueless about car people.  I can always tell when I have a car person as a client and I immediately connect with them being a heavy duty car guy myself.  Having common interests certainly helps but more important than that is having an understanding of what they are looking for and what features are important for a car lover.  When it comes to Central Ohio Real Estate I am the recommended Realtor for car lovers and based on your previous blogs I KNOW you are Georgia!  Happy Hot Rodding!

Definitely a unique value proposition, Lane. Good for you!

Hey Lane!  Your website is looking good.  You can go ahead and add me to your list.  Thanks.  Not expecting referrals as we work the same areas but I'd still like to be in the know.  :-)

Good looking site Lane. This will definitely bring you more business. Maybe we can have a REALTOR rod show, I'll bring my Trans Am over. :)

great idea for a niche.There will not be much competition for agents like me, a garage is for any car on wheels. I know nothing about makes or models.

I wish I could say that I have a lot of toys in my basement. Unfortunately, life style changes, as well as divorce and children in college have me in a house with a standard 2 car garage, 2 infiniti g35 sedans, and barely room for a toolbox. Next year's goal is for a home with a full basement, to be slowly filled with the toys I truly love. Here is my wishlist for today. a mid 80's 911 targa, a 1966 mustang gt fastback 289 4 speed, and  I want to replace my Triumph TR6 that was hit head-on by an unlicensed driver with no insurance. Don't plan to do that again, it hurt.  By the way, my new wife wants these cars as much as I do. I am a lucky man.

Add me to your list. I cover the Brentwood, Franklin, Spring Hill areas of Middle Tennessee.

My garage consists of:

1976 Harley Davidson Shovelhead, best of show winner at many shows

2002 Harley Davidson Electra Glide, all go and no show.

The GT350 was always one of my favorites. I actually was very close to buying a 69 GT500KR  back in  1975, it had 19000 miles on it and they wanted $6000. I thought it was too much. It probably saved my life, or kept me out of jail, because it would be very tempting back then to see what it would do.

I used to have a 600 horsepower, fire breathing, 2000 pound, dirt track open wheel modified.  Those horses were too darn expensive to keep up with.  What a rush it was flying around a 1/4 track, wheel to wheel , mud flying, and engines racing.  Sold that for the slower, easier, Harley Davidson life.

Hey Lane, when you get that Drifter, we can ride up to www.copperheadlodge.com in Blairsville.  Check it out.

Ok, so I am a few years late it seems by the last post, hope you are still out there.  Of course I know how important it is to have a 220 outlet.  I grew up going to the National Street Rod Convention for almost every summer vacation.  I have been to more junk yards I am sure than any other agent in our office.  So not only is garage space important, but RV parking as well so you have someplace to store those projects.  Anyway, as it turned out, my street rod background would come to a screeching halt as I married into a "restorer" family.  goodbye V8 hello, in line four.  goodbye power hello puckity puckity puckity.  I now have a restored 27 model T, and a restored 31 Model A, and my 65 mustang convertible thats mostly original.  I rebuild the carburators, do all the wiring, sandblast the smaller parts... My husband knows if he just mentions he is thinking about doing any wiring I just jump in. 

thanks,

Susan in Oregon
