Friday the 23rd there will be another meeting to support building a Velodrome in Tucson. Even if you have no intention of riding it, the cycling community could really use your support. The next time you need support for your sweet new section of single track, building that BMX park, or fixing a pot hole I’ll be asking the road, BMX and track community to support your cause. If we all work together we can make Tucson the Bike Capital of the Universe. Here’s the event link for more details https://www.facebook.com/events/779479422107186/?fref=ts.
If you can’t make it, please fill in this survey. It will only take you 90 seconds. We have over 600 responses and the goal is over 1000 before the meeting.

This list is a major time commitment and it is my pleasure to put it together. All I ask in return for the list is that you remember I’m A REALTOR. If you have a relationship with another REALTOR, I love loyalty and respect those relationships. However, if not, or if you need a second opinion, Please keep me in mind. Many agents spend money advertising for new business, some door knock and others cold call. My business is based on referrals from past clients and friends. The less time I have to do traditional prospecting the more I can do for the clients and friends you refer my team AND for the cycling community. For example: This list.
