This week, I had two clients in from out of town. One was scheduled and one surprised me by a quick visit in. So, in my juggling, I ran back and forth across town, showing Geist Properties all the way over to the west side. In addition to clients this week, I had my monthly meeting and some super Indianapolis real estate training as I am a candidate in Mibor's REAL (Real Estate Academy of Leadership) Class. We met this week. We enjoyed great speakers this week and a visit to the Indiana State Museum. As I was scooting back to the north side for a showing, the horrible happened...bump, bump, rumble, rumble...a flat tire! I was in the middle lane driving 70 (okay...I was in a hurry) and had to change lanes and find a safe place to pull over on the shoulder. I'm married to an Eagle Scout, (Always Be Prepared) so I pulled the air compressor that plugs into my cigarette-lighter-thingy out of my glove box. Great idea but the tire was shot! So, I called AAA...another great idea but they said it would be an hour...even with a priority call! I called my husband so he knew what was going on and I waited.
It wasn't long before a semi truck pulled over in front of me. The nicest gentleman walked back to see if he could help me....and he did. He got my jack and spare out and in short order had me ready to go again! I tried to "help" but he pointed out I was going to get greasy...and he was helping a "damsel in distress." Lucky me! in a short amount of time, I was zipping towards my showing appointment.
I started thinking about how fortunate I am to have an Indianapolis real estate career. Truly, a city full of friendly people, who "pay it forward." Many years ago, before the days of cell phones, I was working remote in Indianapolis for my Chicago based sales career. I was on the way to the airport to return to Chicago, tired after a busy week when I had a flat in my rental car on ANOTHER Indy highway. As I stood at the side of that highway trying to figure out what to do (no cell phone in those days) a limousine pulled over...that gentleman moved my suitcases to his limo, transported me to my rental car counter at the airport, and gave me a lecture about getting in stranger's cars! Once again, another great experience with friendly people in Indianapolis.
So, as I was looking at a really great Geist house this week...I was reminded that Indianapolis is more than just a pretty face...we have great people too. And after all, isn't that what makes a "house" a "home?"
