5.28.09 EcoBroker Certified

As an EcoBroker Certified real estate professional, I have received special training on issues pertaining to energy efficiency and other environmental aspects of homes. I can help buyers understand the cost savings and potential for increased comfort of living in a home with energy efficient upgrades on features such as windows, insulation, heating/cooling systems, and appliances. There is also a health component to upgrading a home and I have knowledge of indoor air quality improvements related to proper ventilation, use of low-VOC paints and adhesives, and other environmentally-friendly building materials. For sellers, the advantage of working with an EcoBroker is an understanding of the key improvements that can be made to a home in order to increase the property's value and make it more attractive to potential buyers. Buyers are interested in the cost-savings inherent to energy efficient upgrades.
I encourage you to explore the EcoBroker web site (http://www.ecobroker.com/misc/learn.aspx) for information on different 'green' topics relating to home ownership. There are many ways to enhance a home's market value and 'green' quotient at the same time.
