We Run Real Estate

The obvious question here is, what does running have to do with real estate? On its face, I would say not much. But as I have gotten more into running, it has actually been a huge part of my real estate journey.

If you are a runner and a potential buyer or seller, running is a great way to check out the real estate scene in a community. To start, if you want to see what the real estate scene is in a community, running might be the best way. When I run, it allows me to look around and see houses popping up for sale or new construction projects that I would have otherwise not observed if I was just driving through. When I change up my routes, it takes me through different neighborhoods where I can see if the real estate scene is picking up or slowing down.

The most important thing running has allowed me to do is to get more involved in neighboring communities as well as my own and expand my network. Whether you are looking to buy or sell in Boston, Greater Boston or the North Shore, I am willing to bet there is a run club nearby. As a runner, these clubs make it easy to stay in shape, meet people and get involved with your community. A lot of them offer complimentary coaching, bi-weekly runs, and bibs to run in the Boston Marathon through BAA Partnerships.

Some of these clubs include:

• Mystic Runners Club – Based in Wakefield (https://www.mysticrunners.com/)
• Greater Lowell Road Runners (https://www.glrr.net/)
• Wicked Running Club (https://wickedrunningclub.org/)
• Melrose Running Club (https://melroserunningclub.com/)

These clubs often run together (I can speak for Melrose and Mystic) and will encourage you to try races and workouts in nearby communities. You’ll expand your horizons and perhaps broaden your real estate journey as you fall in love with some of these communities.
