I have been working in Murray Hill, Jacksonville for many years. I have many properties there. Some of the properties are good but many are great, and for the simple reason that they are surrounded with great neighbors. These neighbors help me to keep an eye on the house and to make sure I know what is going on in the neighborhood, so we, together can improve it.
Case in point, my fiend, Dan (name changed to protect the neighbor), he always walks by my door, says what he thinks of the improvements and enhancements, is always willing to lend a hand to help. Just yesterday the property needed a good cutting and the edges of the sidewalk had not been maintained, so I asked him what he would suggest.
He showed up with an edger and was able to help me edge the property and get me up and operational. The way this thing edged was professional and I am sure it will help my property look better than it would have with out it, Dan even did all the work, all in exchange for a bottle of water (which I suggested he take in the excessive heat of the day).
Dan's thinking was that "If I help you make your property look good, my property looks good," which is exactly the mentality you want in any neighborhood where you are working. I am thankful to have Dan as a friend, and he even told me about a house that may be available in the neighborhood from one of his friends who needs to sell it.
