Northrop Realty, A Long & Foster Company, announced a new partnership with the University of Maryland Athletics, and its multimedia rights holder, Maryland Sports Properties, a division of Playfly Sports (MSP) as the “Official Real Estate Brokerage of the Maryland Terrapins.” The newly formed relationship also names Northrop Realty as a sponsor of the Men’s and Women’s 2021-22 Basketball Season.

“As a graduate of the University of Maryland and a member of the board of directors for the University System of Maryland Foundation, I am a proud Maryland Terrapin. Our brokerage is extremely excited for this honor as we pride ourselves on supporting the communities in which we live, work, and play,” said Creig Northrop, founder and CEO of Northrop Realty. “We look forward to engaging more with the university, the alumni, and the fans in College Park and lending our 30+ years of experience to assist with their real estate needs.”

The sports sponsorship will showcase Northrop Realty’s brand through courtside and arena LED boards along with digital marketing on UMTerps.com and the One Maryland App.

“Having a deep connection is the beginning of an authentic relationship, and our partnership with Maryland Sports Properties, and the Maryland Terrapins is a great vehicle and powerful brand-building opportunity,” said Ray Bularz, Chief Brand Officer at Northrop Realty. “We will drive engagement and excitement to potential buyers and sellers of real estate, and this opportunity allows our brand to reach a greater audience.”
