IN MY SPARE TIME DESIGN BY MELANIE FINNERN We know our realtors work hard. But did you ever wonder what they do when they're not at work? Read how some of them spend their spare time... their hobbies, interests, maybe even obsessions. MARK SLADE Keller Williams Midtown Direct Realty Maplewood 917-797-5059 sladehomes@gmail.com goodhomesforgoodpeople.com Since childhood, I've loved vehicles – especially pickup trucks. I appreciate good design and that's why I got this 1950s Chevrolet pickup. Besides having great lines, it's also practical – I've used it to help my clients with light moving. And because of the truck's iconic style, it has served me well as branding for my business. It's a fixture at the Memorial Day Parade and Maplewoodstock! With my work being so consuming, it's important for me to have time when I'm focused 100 percent on my family. The best way to do that is to travel. I especially love going to the beach and find peace in the ocean breeze and water. This is the one place where I can truly relax and attain some balance. My family and I enjoy cruising because we appreciate the variety of the ports and learning about the history, culture and food of different places. And, of course, there are always wonderful beaches to discover. VICTORIA CARTER Weichert, Realtors Short Hills 973-220-3050 victoria@victoriacarter.com victoriacarter.com
