Active Marketing: Combining Passions

By
Real Estate Agent with John L Scott 101596

   As we all know, the life of a real estate agent can be stressful and include long hours.  It is important to maintain a balance in our lives to keep us at our best.  For my health, and for my sanity, I devote time each week toward maintaining my fitness goals, but I realized I could probably find a way to tie my passions together. I just found the group "Active Rain Fit Club" and liked the idea of combining these aspects of our lives. Fitness and Real Estate. 

  My current activities include horseback riding, hot yoga, running and the occasional bike ride, or racquetball game.  I currently post my real estate postcards at my gym and the barns where I ride, but it occurs to me that there could be more I could do. I could start a networking fitness group, market through local running, riding or yoga organizations. With the time that I spend on these activities competing with the time I spend on my real estate career I am looking for a way to allow my passions to compliment each other.

If you have any great sports or fitness related marketing ideas, please leave me a comment and I will update this blog with your suggestions.

Serveral agent in my office attend the same spin class. When outsider(non-Realtors)see us all together it gives them the impression of a great team. I have picked up buyers and sellers at the gym. It is also fun to work out with my friends from work.

Thanks for the idea Greg.  It sounds like you have a very tight knit group at your office as well!

Ann, Sounds like a winning idea to me.  I know of several agents here in town that do a lot of golfing, and they get a lot of leads from it.

Ann, I am a fitness fan as well as real estate so we have that in common. Many fitness clubs do have those community bulletin boards for local business people and just talking to people at the clubs while you work out helps out a lot too.
