Date AddedApril 04, 2010 08:14:25 AM

Sometimes in business, it makes sense to partner with people with similar interests and goals. Clearly, EcoBroker and Pedal to Properties stand for a new way of approaching real estate that connects with buyers and sellers. We look forward to partnering with EcoBroker agents and sharing information as we move forward.

Pedal to Properties Steps Up Support for National Bike to Work Day
We really do support biking and alternative transportation modes as part of our corporate DNA. I'm pleased to say our Pearl Street Boulder office has signed on to be title sponsor of Boulder's massive Bike to Work Day in June (10,000 riders and walkers are expected to turn out). And our Northampton, Mass., office is planning its grand opening to coincide with Pioneer Valley Bike Commute Week, May 9 - 16. We've got tons of activities planned at our offices; watch for highlights and photos in coming months.

Cost of Commuting for Home Buyers
When you are talking to potential buyers, the features of the home are obviously critical. But then what? This Pittsburgh Post article points out that commuting costs need to be part of the discussion. In fact, affordability of the home for most buyers is cut in half when you factor commuting costs. Check out the article or view the full report by the Center for Neighborhood Technology that looks at 330 metro areas. With a Pedal to Properties tour, you can show clients how it feels to live closer to parks, schools, stores and more.

Northampton Sign Hanging
This is what we like to see! Pedal to Properties signage going up in quaint, downtown locations like Northampton, which is situated perfectly (next to a rail trail and about 100 yards from Northampton's Union station where commuter rail will be resurrected in the next few years). We have high hopes for Craig Della Penna, franchise owner, as he spreads the word in the Pioneer Valley.

Building Our Franchise Community
As we expand our franchise, we are determined to build a strong community of independent-minded entrepreneurs who function as a cohesive team. While we've developed a great formula for Pedal to Properties over four years, we now seek real estate pros who love what they do, want to catch the wave of a trend, and want to contribute to something larger - your input on our team will be heard and valued.
