A Day in the Life of a Car-free Realtor
People ask me, “How do you do real estate without a car?” I reply, “How does anyone do it with a car?!”
Happily car-free since 1983, I’m eager to share my passion for public transportation, bicycling, and daily yoga practice; observing how these self-sustaining activities may inspire my buyers and sellers and family and friends, resulting in an enriched transaction for all!
A writer and former PR consultant, my essays have aired nationwide on public radio. An arsenal of quirky anecdotes combined with an extensive marketing background and finely tuned organizational skills have served me well since embarking on a residential real estate career in 1997.
As a long-time lakefront high-rise dweller in Chicago, I trust that my unique perspective on navigating city neighborhoods will not only enlighten and entertain, but will provide a blueprint of sorts: gently challenging you to examine your relationship with Planet Earth, with the ultimate goal of enhancing your sense of well-being. Along the way, you are sure to discover how I do real estate without a car…
All this AND I’m an avid listener, I welcome your viewpoint; let me hear from you!
10 years ago while still living with husband #3 who tried to teach me how to drive, I almost destroy the neighbor’s wall and my friend’s car. Although I had easily passed the writing test, I failed twice on the driving test. And then I got desinterested. It was obvious that driving was not one of my priorities. I am keeping Schwinn as my best friend. This bike has seen it all. But at least it saves me stress and the planet too.
Agnes,
Always glad to learn of one fewer car on the road! Safe cycling!!
