Praful,

In Los Angeles, we did not count miles, we counted the time it took to get there.  Five miles could mean an hour on the freeway at recurring times in the day.  It was all about knowing the bio-rythms of traffic.  A

While I tend to work within 25 miles of my office due to having a team, showing homes can really rack up the miles. I can't say recently I've put up the numbers I used to, due to low inventory. 200 miles was easy to do back in 2006-2014.

WOW! You doubled mine, Praful! Charlotte is a sprawling metropolis but, I do my level best to stay in my sandbox! 

I will say that several 1-house showings in a day in different corners of the city makes for a lot of mileage but, never over 150.
