Deals on Wheels: Is This The Next Hot Trend in Annapolis Real Estate?
September 26th, 2008 Categories: Fun Fridays
I recently read that the high cost of gasoline and the growing Green Movement had spawned a new trend: previewing homes with buyer clients by bicycle.
That’s right. Hip young agents are shedding the old ways. They’re no longer piling their buyers into gas guzzling SUVs and schlepping them from home to home. Rather, they’re donning helmets with their clients, hopping on bikes, and hitting the road. The concept is really gaining ground in places like Portland, Oregon where - apparently - the sight of sweaty, two-wheeling Realtors is becoming quite common. I decide to run the idea by the rest of The Moss Haedrich Team at Monday’s team meeting.
Are you out of your mind? That’s Kathy, one of our Buyer Specialists. She reminds me that she has new clients flying into town this morning, and there’s a good chance of rain this afternoon. Besides, her clients have 3 kids and she’s showing them expensive homes in Edgewater. “Driving down Route 2 is dangerous enough in a car. You want me to kill off the best buyers I have?”
I see her point. I decide we should probably start with the buyers we’ve been working with for more than a year. Who knows? Maybe the jolt of adrenaline from pedaling around Annapolis on two wheels will finally push them off the fence.
