Elite Properties Poised for Growth
Posted by John Lockwood on March 31st, 2007
I have high hopes for a sort of Amador County Renaissance here soon. Elite Properties began in Amador County, as the brainchild of Hal Fishler and Bridget Felmley-Gay. Later, as Hal Fishler became somewhat less active in the area, Elite took on a new broker, me, and that’s how I come to be blogging about Amador County, even though, from an Amador perspective, I live way up heck and gone in western El Dorado County.
In my own defense, however, I live in the foothills. I say this because those of us who live in the foothills are sometimes inclined to call those of you who don’t “flatlanders”. That’s not to say that they live in Flatland, necessarily. Actually I’m not sure what we’re trying to say, other than we live on a hill and you don’t.
If you’re not sure how perjorative a word is, it’s probably not too bad. When teenagers are punished for using the “F” word, it turns out that “Flatland” is not the offender.
But whatever, I’m not a flatlander. Route 50 goes up two or three respectable hills to get to my house. Try it.
Even though Elite Properties began in the also not flat land of Amador County, a lot of our growth lately has been in working with our Sacramento clients. We have a lot of them. But now we’re poised for growth in Amador County as well, and we may well be hiring our first talented but somewhat newer agent soon. (Most of our agents have from four to twenty-six year’s of experience, whereas our newer agent has one year under her belt). But we haven’t hired her yet. We’re just putting on our happy faces, hoping she’ll come play with us, because of how nice and professional we are and how nice and professional she is.
I hope she likes to write. I could go on all day, but either the Sacramento blog or a client or someone pretending to be a client usually cuts a hole in my whole day. So I don’t go on all day on this blog very often, except when we’re poised for growth or we’re having an open house or something.
It turns out both are true right now.
I should write about the open house separately.
