I am back in Salzburg with the Cleveland Orchestra for two weeks, then a week at the Lucerne Festival, and then concerts in Turin and Milan, Italy. It's great to be back in this beautiful city of music and today we had a six-hour rehearsal on Dvorak's opera "Rusalka". The singers are are world-class and acoustics of the renovated and redesigned Mozart Haus are fabulous. This is normally the summer home of the Vienna Philharmonic and rumor has it that they (or at least their fans) ARE NOT happy that we have such a long stay here, but I suppose the controversy about it will generate publicity, which is ALWAYS a good thing. It's been a long time since we played in Salzburg and this residency is A BIG DEAL for the Cleveland Orchestra. Of course this is good for the Cleveland real estate community because it proves what a good quality of life can be had in our area.
Although I have email over here, my real estate activities are mostly on hold for three and a half weeks, but a fellow agent is covering for me. These next few weeks are likely to be very slow anyway. It gives me a good chance to recharge my real estate "batteries"!
While on tour I've been reading the many responses to an AR blog about the value of broker's opens. It was good to read so many opinions and I've learned a lot. More opinions from the Cleveland area would be appreciated. I think they are great to get to know the inventory, but I'm not sure about the value to sellers, other than making them feel good. (They would feel REALLY good if I sold their homes for them!)
More posts from Europe to come......
