The Benefits of Going GREEN:
As an EcoBroker®, the environment is one of my biggest concerns. My
focus in Real Estate is on conservation, energy efficiency, alternative fuel
sources, and how I, as a Real Estate Professional, can help promote a more
eco-friendly world.
Wouldn't you like to live in a well-built home that's environmentally sound
and offers low (or no) utility bills? Who wouldn't want a home that is
kind to the wallet, good for the body, comforting to the soul, and gentle to the
earth for decades to come?
You might be wondering... What can I do right now? From
energy-efficient appliances and windows, to passive solar heating.... from
re-insulating your home , to Xeriscaping... from alternative building materials,
flooring, and decking to instantaneous water heaters, there are literally
hundreds of things you can do. I am happy to provide you more extensive
information on any of these things, and much much more. You might even be
able to finance your improvements by getting an "Energy Efficient Mortgage".
If you're not quite ready for such an extensive undertaking, there are also a
lot of much simpler things you can do to help not only the environment, but your
bottom line as well. One thing is to replace your incandescent light bulbs
with CFL's (Compact Fluorescent Lights). By replacing 20 bulbs in
your home, you can save $180 off of your electricity bill annually!
Replacing these same 20 bulbs will also prevent 1686 lbs PER YEAR of pollution
from entering the atmosphere!! For an average investment of just $100 to
$150, your investment in CFL's will more than pay you back the FIRST YEAR!!
Please read my BLOG for more ideas, It is continually
updated with eco-friendly suggestions.
