I have been doing some showings here in Chicago at my listings via bike since last year and I definitely have been thought of as crazy by some in our car-centric industry. I also have taken a client out on the back of a tandem for an open house Sunday tour and had some clients out last year on the tandem while I rode solo. Great fun and they bought a house....but we drove to that one :(<BR/>I also was showing my places via scooter for the past 5 years and I think that confused fellow agents more than the bicycle...but not anymore.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02769236390773203577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14852171.post-59675545090829960362008-06-24T10:50:00.000-06:002008-06-24T10:50:00.000-06:00The last two places I've lived (including my curre...The last two places I've lived (including my current residence) I actually drove to determine bikability.

However, I found that I can ride to do showings at my listings (I ask my clients if this is acceptable) and ride with my buyer clients who are into it.<BR/> <BR/>Additionally, if I want to work in my office on a slow appointment day (rather than home because my kid is going nuts) the commute is easy.<BR/><BR/>I could probably reduce my driving by 30% to 50%.Eric Rojashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594615531143494177noreply@blogger.com
