The Mayor just called......

Well, the major called me in the middle of a showing late yesterday afternoon. I told my client it was the mayor calling and he waved me off saying I better pick that one up. A little background on the mayor and myself. We have known each other for a long time and have a good relationship both personally and professionally. In fact his wife was a middle school teacher of mine. So he already knows my involvement and commitment to the community. He was calling to tel me that a position had opened up on the County Board of Adjustment. To be truthful, this is the first time I had heard of this committee so I listened to him briefly explain it to me. It sounded interesting so I gave him my gratitude and he told me he would have the committee chair call me in the morning to discuss the process. This is the first time I have been directly asked to participate in government affairs concerning real estate. Why now? On Day 23 of 100 Clients in 100 Days. Is it because the mayor is on Facebook and he is seeing me working away? Is he being influenced by the positive energy of a successful marketing philosophy? Could I have captured his curiosity about a Real Estate Social Network Experiment taking place in his backyard. Whatever the reason, the mayor called me directly to help assist in the direction of real estate for our fair city. That speaks volumes.
