So if You Work Really Hard 4th Quarter, You'll Win this Trip...

Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Vanguard Realty - 904-673-2308

Back in the day when the real estate market was robust, Watson Realty turned 40 years old. It was Mr. Watson's habit to encourage a busy fourth quarter with a contest for his agents. So many points and you qualified for a trip.Athens -Parthenon View from ancient Athens wall

Imagine our surprise when he announced our trip to Greece! We flew into Athens and spent 7 glorious days among the ruins and restaurants. Shopping was great and a day touring nearby islands topped off a fabulous trip.Chapel in Market SquarePalace GuardsCat on Greek IsleBust of CaesarHarbor on Poros

The only thing that could make the trip even more perfect was a SURPRISE night and day in Paris!!!! We missed our flight -even though the plane wasn't full and fellow travelers told the attendants we were running to catch it. Go figure. We didn't mind, we had a free night in one of the world's most beautiful cities.'Paris 13' in front of Eiffel TowerAir for Sale - Paris

The real estate is so valuable in Parks they even sell the air above the buildings!

Le Pont Neuf

Moulin Rouge

We have been on five trips, each wonderful in its own way. Since this was our only European trip, I'd say it was my favorite.

Bill - it was a fantastic vacation and so education for our son! Mr. Watson has sponsored these trips for more than 10 years. This is the first year in many that he has not done so but we all understand why. So a group of us in our office are planning our own trip next Spring and we're going back to Montreal!

Sharon - back in the days of Merrill Lynch Realty the top agents used to win trips - there were some fun cruises and foreign ports, too.
