Actually - word of mouth is my most particular perk. I meet " the lawyers, the bakers and the candlestick makers" All kinds of people that can be quite helpful if you need a plumber, roofer, tax preparer, another notary, - that is just the tip of the iceberg. You also see some of the grandest homes ie. Bald Head Island NC and I always get ideas from other people on decorating, painting etc. I sometimes do accept wonderful smelling coffee but have made it a rule not to eat food of any kind outside of my home unless it is store wrapped or take tips but one time a man asked if I knew a good real estate broker and I gave him my favorite and said to use my name. I received a $100 commission for referring him. That was pretty cool. You never know what will happen when you meet new people and sometimes you make great new friends that you see in the grocery store and wave to in a restaurant or a bank. To me- these are my very best perks. |
