Sky Walk Adventure|Photo Blog|Gulfport, MS 39501

I drive Hwy 90 (also known as Beach Boulevard) frequently. Each time I drove under the Sky Walk of the Island View Casino, I would think..."I want to go up there and walk across". Well, its not like the Island View charges to walk across Highway 90 using their Sky Walk. It was just one more of those things on my mental list that I wanted to do but seemed to never get around to actually doing it.

Finally, one day when I was working on listing preparation for 3214 12th St, just a couple of blocks away--I decided to take a break and stroll around the neighborhood a bit. I took some of my new listing cards with me to pass out. (Note a significant break through in 2009 for my marketing--focus is on the listing not the REALTOR:-).

The longer I am out on a gorgeous day, the bolder I seem to get. I actually went in the Island View and walked around a bit. Then I noticed a man in a suit whom I correctly assumed to be a casino manager. I gave him a small stack of cards -- just in case anyone mentioned to him that they were looking for a great home near the casino. He took them and said he would put them....

It struck me that this would be the perfect time to take the Sky Walk. This was a very pleasant experience. The Sky Walk is wide, and still has that fresh, recently built back feeling in a surreal climate controlled quiet environment. The Sky Walk is accented with interesting people; some of which coached me on how to take better photos through glass without showing my reflection.

I took time to watch the traffic on both sides. The photo below was looking West.

The Island View can accomodate parking for most kinds of vessels (I think. Maybe you should contact them.)

Suzi, in this business, we're always marketing, aren't we!  Love your original photos.  I'm on the west coast so this is interesting culture for me.


Glad you were a little braver than last time and met some new contacts.  Next time you'll meet even more.


This is a refreshing article, I'm giving it a feature in the Virtual Office group at http://activerain.com/groups/virtualoffice!

Thanks, Regina. I'm always experimenting. I am having a blast with this listing. Its the first "Near the Beach" listing I have accepted since Katrina. This is a "rich" location. I love it.


I am glad you called my attention to the Virtual Office Group; believe me anywhere I am--if I am awake; that is where my office is.

Great post, Suzi. I really like your focus on the client and your willingness to try something different. Sometimes we need to just take a deep breath and give something new a shot.

Thank you, Bob. I appreciate your Pro Feedback. This is a perfect property not only for Internet marketing but personal marketing as well.The property card layout is mine and inexpensively ordered through Vista Print.


A casino employee thought it was cool that I wanted to walk the Sky Walk, AND that I actually made time to start working that "things I want to do" list. This year I hope to do all the little things I have wanted to do but not taken time for.
