I’ve always been a hard worker. I can’t stand laziness! I want to see people put their noses to the grindstone. When I was a bank teller, I worked hard. When I managed a retail store, I worked hard. Now I’m a Realtor, and I work very hard!
Sometimes, though, it’s not just how hard you work. Sometimes you need a new and better idea. The age of the Internet is an amazing time. We don’t make cars anymore, after all, we use our brains!
At certain times, the person with the boldest idea reaps the big rewards. And I believe I have that bold idea.
Every time I talk to someone in California, they say they want to move up to Bend. California is the biggest state in the nation, with almost 34 million people. And nearly all of them would rather live in Bend.
So what’s stopping them? Think about your typical day. You get up in the morning and you have something to do. Some of you might have children to send to school. Some of you might have a rewarding job you love, as I do. You have pets to take care of, people to talk to on the telephone. Our lives are so busy!
We have about 1600 residential properties available (some people are foolish enough to briefly try to sell their own houses–maybe fifty of these people at a time).
Now, did you see these numbers? 34 million. 16 hundred. This is going to be simple!
We just fix up those broken BAT buses, fill them with the home sellers, and head down to California. Once we’re there, our sellers take over for the Californians who want to come up and buy houses in Bend. Our sellers do everything! Feed the pets and kids. Mow the lawn. Anything that needs done. Meanwhile the buyers have been bussed up here and are dazzled by the wonderful houses, plus lots of champagne! They’re sure to fight over the best and most expensive properties.
Such a simple idea, but no one has done it yet!
I’m going to propose this at the next Realtor’s meeting. All we need to do is get the sellers ready for a fun road trip, and get a few million dollars from the city to promote the whole thing!
With our inventory gone, we’ll be right back in 2005! The buyers will be instant winners. And proud Bendites!
Marvelous Bend!
