a day in the life of a DR real estate agent

we have been busy over the past few days with real estate work. we made a blue fish sale yesterday to a brother of one of my friends, who also bought at blue fish. we're all going to be styling there!

the other real estate related activity we have been doing is prepping for a client who is looking for large oceanfront land. they are coming back for a second look this week. we had to spend some time checking out some new possible lots for them, as well as revisiting original ones that we had in mind for them. that took us here and there, and even got us picking up trash on one of them. veronica may have touched something weird when cleaning up the lot, as later in the day she turned a bit purple from her shoulders up. it was either that, something she ate, or the return suddenly of some slightly humid weather here.

we both love the days that we go around to check out new listings. it's an exciting part of the job, except when it is to see some dump of a house or something. in this case, we were looking at oceanfront lots, so that took us out to some sweet spots. can't complain when work takes you on the sand and amongst the palm trees! have a glimpse into what we get to do and where - this was one of the lots:



after looking at some lots, we stopped at a new favorite spot for us - ke lo ke - which is a small beachfront restaurant/bar in front of the aqualina resort at kite beach. it sounds hawaiian, doesn't it? it actually is spanish for "what's up" but written phonetically. anyway, this is a great spot for smoothies. they're working on the menu and the kitchen there, so their food could be good at some point too. the shot at the top of this blog entry is of veronica on a work day at the ke lo ke - she's studying a plot plan for one of the oceanfront lots we'll be showing.

here's another shot looking out from ke lo ke on to kite beach. not bad for your lunch hour, huh?



along the journey to the lots, we came across this. perhaps this is dominican recycling....?



or how about taking the whole family out for the afternoon....?



never a dull moment when you're out and about here.
