A Cool University City Cafe with Live Music !
Our Clients Rock, Literally !
Stephanie and I were invited by a client to go see their daughter play in her band at this cool University City Cafe with Live Music including several bands each playing a set. The coffee shop is The Green Line Cafe in University City / Powelton Village. We are so glad when we went. Thank you Richard and Mindy (they are our clients) ! Their daughter who attends Drexel University, is an extremely talented musician and performer 
with a phenomenal voice. Her band "When I was 12" put on an excellent display of original music with charming melodies and great lyrics, and even had an encore. The Green Line Cafe hosts a live music venue in a warm and cozy coffee house setting. We really enjoyed being there and spending time with our clients. We do not get into the University City area nearly as much as we'd like to. This was the perfect opportunity to not only enjoy the live music but to spend time with our new friends.
In our business, we get the opportunity to meet with and connect with so many people ! But it warms our hearts when we get asked to mingle outside the office. For Mindy and Richard, the clients we mentioned above, going to see their daughter Adrienne perform in their band was one of the biggest complements we could receive. "When I was 12" is a great band but we are really the biggest fans of our clients.
It is the nature of our career to be instrumental (pun intended) in helping folks through the process of one of the most important times of their life. We can really really develop a meaningful trust and camaraderie with our clients in a few short months. We feel like we know we are doing something right when after a settlement we can meet up with our clients for a celebratory dinner, mingle at a party or just hang out at a The Green Line, which to us is not only just A Cool Cafe in University City but a place we connected with great people ! The coffee is good too !
So, it will not be the last time we see When I Was 12. They will be doing many more shows in the future. The band has a few CD's that they SOLD OUT of at the Green Line Cafe the night we saw them. It will not be the last time we check out the cool live music in University City either. We'd like to check out a few more places like that.
Any suggestions?

How cool is this. I love it. I think that it's good to get involved with the "lives of your clients" so to speak.
Lenn - That is very cool. Did you dress up ? It really is a cool thing to connect with people in their lives too.
Sally and David - That is a lot of events ! Awesome ! BLOG ON indeed ! : )
Chris,
We do need to add balance to our lives and the benefits that we gain by accepting and invitation like this can't be measured.
Larry - Absolutely ! That is what life is all about !
Don - So true. Balance is one of our goals for 2010 !
Chris & Stephanie, I am often invited to something my client is having...a party and once a wedding. I feel it's an honor that they think so highly of you and I do try to go.
Christopher,
So you missed the Eagles game? Well probably better off, but I wanted the cowboys to lose! I frequently attend events held, by my clients. I feel it is all about the relationship, and lots of fun as well when the families get along
Christopher and Stephanie, good clients do make good friends. And it's a business that is all about the relationships, both during and after a transaction.
Very nice - I recently had to miss a Christmas party I was invited to. I hated to miss the opportunity to see the home after they had done so much work. Sounds like you had a great time!
It feels great to be invited by the client and socialize. Mix and mingle :)
Isn't it great when people you have helped with one of the most important transactions of their lives feel so good about it they become friends for life. It's a great tribute.
I think this points out how clients look at their Realtor as family when we do our jobs well! Isn't it great to build that connection? This friendship will undoubtedly lead to many future transactions.
What a great event to be invited too
best in 2010
your friend in Charlottesville!
