I recycle homes. I connect sellers with buyers, most often first time buyers or those of moderate income to create win/win situations.
A home is a holistic system, a mini ecosystem for its residents. Environmental issues and energy efficiency continue to become more important every day. The NAR GREEN Designation adds value for my clients by enabling me to promote features that might otherwise be ignored or misunderstood while helping them find the home of their dreams.
I believe that
-
Small is beautiful---and it uses less resources
-
The "greenest" house is the one that is already built
-
Every existing house can be made more energy efficient and usually at far less cost in both money and embodied energy than new construction
-
Affordable and inexpensive changes can reap big energy savings
-
Everyone deserves a safe, affordable home, be it ever so humble (on that subject PLEASE SEE Make It Right)
-
Mature neighborhoods can be revitalized without being gentrified
