DELIVERING THE CRESTVIEW KNOLLS VIEW

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Residential

I had a partner this morning.  My daughter Erin and I set out a little after 10:00 AM with 100 newsletters to deliver.

Our target this morning was the Crestview Knolls subdivision in south Naperville.

It was another gorgeous day.  Probably high 50's.  Sunny.  A gentle breeze.

Crestview Knolls is a subdivision of middle priced homes (for Naperville).  In today's market, a typical home will sell in the low to mid 400's.

I selected this neighborhood because my family walks through it several times a week.  There is a park where my daughter likes to play on the swings.  It is probably not a great neighborhood for my newsletters, being that the real estate activity is minimal.  People that buy in this subdivision tend to stay for many years.

There is currently only one home for sale.  Real nice.  Backing up to a tree farm.  Priced at $434,900.

My daughter was a trooper.  She rode in the stroller and only complained a little.  I had to promise her we would play on the swings when our deliveries were finished.:)

It was a lovely day to be out.  I enjoyed having a partner.  Especially one so cute!

Hi Ken, That's great that you went out with your daughter.  She is so cute you could probably strike up lots of conversations walking in any area.

Thanks for your comment I have been a little "out of the rain" lately, have to get back to more regular posting.

All the best!

Ken,

It looks like you are getting a good price range of subdivisions.  I hope that you will start to see a return on your time investment real soon.

What a great poem! 

You are right - we as agents are on the frontline.

It's easy to get discouraged.

Good for you to remind us to notice life!

Your daughter will never forget these times you made memories together... They grow up quick!
