Apparently Bicycling Realty Group is a thing

She was profiled in Arlington Passages.

Our realtor (not one of the ones in the article) said she’s finding an increasing number of people with bike-related requirements like I had–“xyz miles to work via a bike and close to a bike trail”, so she’s had to get more familiar with what is considered a safe and reasonable bike commute in Northern VA. My husband and I were one of 2-3 spring buyers she had with bike-related requirements this year, so she said it’s really becoming a thing realtors are having to learn more about.

The house we’re buying is off a street with a bike lane, less than 2 miles from the MVT and 13.5 miles from work via bike, so we got what I wanted .

Can’t remember who it is – probably posted somewhere on the forum – but there is a realtor in DC who has a similar profile.

She’ll give you a ride to the next house showing on her handlebars. I saw a yard sign for her about a year ago before I started bike commuting and found it an intriguing marketing niche.

Always smart to be the niche in any marketplace if you can. I don’t think it was as much of a thing when we bought our house three years ago, but our realtor did say we were not the first people to tell him that being close to a reliable bike way into DC mattered. In fact, he had acquired some of the local biking maps at the time and kept them on hand just for the purpose to give perspective.
