Why showing homes keeps me healthy according to my "Health" APP.

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner CA#01772851 HI#RB21268

When I got back to my office today, my HEALTH app on my iPhone showed that I had walked 1.3 miles, taken 3,135 steps, and climbed 14 floors.

Health APP

And it's no wonder, I showed three homes in Carmel Valley, one of them with acreage on top of a hill with awesome views, another one had probably the steepest climb I've ever done from street level to the front door, and all three had 2nd stories.

Looking back over the last few weekends, that's been pretty much the norm. In fact, when I show homes in Carmel Valley here on the Monterey Peninsula, I make sure I dress the part so I can tramp around the hillsides with my clients. Some well broken in boots are always in my car now, plus I have a favorite pair of jeans so that I can follow my clients across meadows, vineyards, organic gardens and other wonderful spaces that come with homes in the valley.

Once the sun gets a little stronger, I will be wearing my new cowboy hat on these outings. The sun can get pretty strong.

And, no, this definitely does not mean we are "dressed down"; check out these outfits that my two side kicks and I have on while strolling down Ocean Avenue in Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Endre Barath, Jr. - The 14 flights of stairs got my attention, and then realized I had, in fact, climbed a lot (the equivalent) of stairs up steep hillsides.

What a great photo that is of you three women, all gussied up in your cowboy apparel, Hella!

Fittness trackers reveal a whole lot about our health and exercise.  And, yes, showing homes can put in a lot of steps.

Myrl Jeffcoat - It was an eye opener that the app said I had gone the equivalent of 14 flights of stairs, and then I remembered the hillside steps and that steep one up to the front door (I had parked on the street rather than going up that steep driveway).

You, my friend, cannot take a bad picture. Now, if I look at my Health app, so far today I walked .02 of a mile and 50 steps. But I haven't paced while on the phone yet, LOL.

Elizabeth Weintraub Sacramento Real Estate Agent, Top 1% of Lyon Agents - Guess I am in my "western" mood right now between now and through the Carmel Art Festival on May 18-20. As to the App, it came on my iPhone and it's kind of fun to see how much I move around every day.

I am shocked most days on the amount of steps we agents take each day. When we are focused on our clients and the job at hand, we do what it takes.

Debbie Reynolds - Beats sitting at a computer all day, doesn't it? But that did surprise me yesterday that I had climbed that many "stairs".

Hello Hella,  Love you in the red hat.  You look great in all your hats.  Some they we will meet and will be interesting to see what hat you have on.

Will Hamm - Although I started wearing hats because of the sun, now it is often part of the whole get-up. And they are fun, I get so many comments and that's not bad for a Realtor.

Hi Hella

Love the photo!!

I, too, use the Health app and the days vary quite a bit. Some busy days, even when working in my home office, I can cover a lot of territory, and with it being upstairs can sometime climb 15 - 20 stories in a day just at the house! But I could do better!

Hope those Carmel Valley homes are selling!

Jeff

Jeff Dowler, CRS - The market is doing very well indeed in Carmel Valley. Lots of families look in this area because of the excellent school district.
