What buyers are saying about Pedal to Properties

"Believe it or not, I became a partner in Pedal to Properties after taking a tour with a Pedal to Properties realtor. Seriously, I knew I wanted to move to the Boulder area for its entrepreneurial spirit and lifestyle. I found out about Pedal to Properties when I 'Googled' realtors in Boulder. After taking the tour on the cruiser, I thought the idea was brilliant. Before you knew it, I was buying a home and making a major investment in Pedal to Properties the company. Now, I'm excited to help Matt Kolb take this concept national, something I have experience doing in Australia."

"For people who want to drive less, it just makes sense that they'd be looking for different things in a neighborhood. My realtor was able to see things about places we were looking at that I don't think a normal agent would have noticed."

Emily Gardener, Buyer

"Bike friendliness was our number one criterion, and this was a great way to find a realtor who understood where we were coming from. It's also a totally fun way to spend a Sunday."

Jessica Engeman, Buyer

"We had an instant connection our Pedal to Properties Realtor - he offered service. We didn't know about the Pedal to Properties service. We went out in his Toyota SUV and noticed he had very nice bikes on a nice rack, everything spic and span, much attention to details. We pulled up to a house, and he asked if we'd like to ride the bikes around the neighborhood. So we went house hunting with the definitely cool bikes. Riding on the bikes makes it an easier, friendlier process with the Realtor. The different feeling you get about a neighborhood by being in it, seeing it - you get a more intimate perspective of your surroundings. After the contract for the house was signed, I took my own bike to the neighborhood, and I knew we made the right decision. I could see the neighborhood park and families there."

Bill Cluzel, Buyer
Boulder, Colorado

"Bill and I are active people. When I travel I love to run or rent a bike and explore the area. I thought, 'Wow, this is a great idea.' If you're going to be living there, you get an idea of a neighborhood - what the yards look like - and feel the vibes. And the bikes are really cute."

Kelley Cluzel, Buyer
Boulder, Colorado

"It was my realtor's willingness to go by bike that attracted me. I lived 15 miles outside of Boulder and I wanted to move closer to town, primarily so I could bike to work. I thought pedaling from house to house would be a great way to judge how bike-friendly each home was. One Sunday, my husband and I spent about three hours with our Realtor, seeing seven houses. We eventually chose a house less than two miles from my job and commutable entirely by bike paths."
