Hello! I'm Ed Shapiro, The Walking Realtor^(SM)

Honk
when you see me walk
in my bright yellow T-shirt!

Since 2002, I've walked hundreds and hundreds streets in Belmont, Lexington, Waltham, Winchester, Woburn, MA.
Why?  What is so special in walking? 
A lot!

When I walk, I learn everything about the area around:
traffic noise, air smell, birds singing, airplane roar, scenery,
whether it is a cul-de-sac and many other important facts.
Those are the essentials, which you, my clients,
want to know about, while making
one of the most important decisions in life:

Buying or Selling Real Estate.  

As a Realtor, I know that real estate is changing daily.
It is important for you, my clients, to know about those changes.
Sometimes, we meet and talk, share news and rumors.
This way, we stay connected.

Over the past 6 years,
I've learned so much about the town,
not many other realtors ever have.

I will be happy to share with you these unique facts,
if you dial my cell phone # 617-833-8260 or send an E-mail to thewalkingrealtor@rcn.com.

The Walking Realtor.com Just Walked By My Window

Okaaay...not five minutes ago, an amazing bit of personal marketing walked by my office window. A guy in a bright yellow T-shirt emblazoned with "The Walking Realtor. com" strolled, hood up against the cold, down the sidewalk. First one way, then the other. The shirt wasn't even silk-screened. Seems "the walking realtor" prefers, um, the pizzazz of shiny, black vinyl press-on letters.

So I looked him up--www.thewalkingrealtor.com. And sure enough, his name is Ed Shapiro. It seems Ed is on his second tour of walking every street in town. I must have missed him the first time round. He says, "There are 519 streets in town, and I have walked almost all of them. It has taken me about a year, starting January 2006. These days, I am on my second round. I do it because real estate is changing daily. I do it because it is important for my clients to know about those changes....In the process, I talk to my clients, learn about neighborhoods and locate those that best match my clients' interest." Ed left out he's probably in the best shape of any realtor in town.

If it works, hats off to you Ed. In any case, any guy who's out there drumming up business walking through the streets when it's 20-degrees out with wind chill deserves a blog nod at the very least.
