Is Having 2 Offices worth it with Gas Prices so high?

Having more than one Real Estate Office can be challenging, especially with the price of gas. Why would anyone drive 3 hours to get from one office to the other? Would you drive this far, and if so what would you do with your time?

Me, I love the drive; not the expense, but the drive itself. I love having 2 Offices, both in different areas, and both with their own rewards. My 2nd Office is fun, it is in a small town, mostly vacation and second homes, but many people live here year round. I love the fact that I can spend hours just exploring, appreciating nature, and being able to relax.

This picture was taken while I was working....I had started my day very early doing paperwork at the Office, then went to join my family for a few hours of fun. "Lunch Break" ........Can it get any better than this?

During the season, the Colorado River is a wonderful place. The Annual "Snowbird" Migration starts in November, and ends around the end of April/May. When the Snowbirds leave the "River Rats" come back...a never ending migration of people......

Yep, having 2 Offices can be a lot of FUN!!!!

Big River, CA, my 2nd Office is just 12 miles from Vidal Junction (HWY 95 and 62), and 7 miles to Parker, Arizona. It's a small community that has a Market, Laundromat, RV Parks, a big Community Park, Senior Center, and a couple restaurants. Anything else is just 5 minutes away in Parker. In fact Big River is so entwined with Parker that although it is in California, it doesn't have Day Light Savings Time (same as Arizona).

I love working here, and at the end of the day, I drive over to Parker to fill up as the gas is about 30 cents per gallon cheaper; just another benefit of having 2 Offices :)

Usually after gassing up, the Sun is setting, and other than Hawaii, I have never seen such Beautiful Sunsets.

This particular Sunset was so beautiful that I pulled over and took the picture. It was only when I got out of the car that I realized the colors were reflected in the Aqueduct.....Natures Photoshop.....

Sunsets like this remind me of why I love what I do, and why it is worth it to drive 3 hours between 2 offices........
