EcoBroker, EcoBuilt

I was very excited to see the article in the Wall Street Journal titled, ‘How Green is My Realtor’. So were a lot of other people I know, seeing that 4 people e-mailed it to me and 3 copies were placed on my desk at Village Properties. I am so proud that the EcoBroker program is getting press and more and more agents are signing up for it across the country.

My green business partner DeAnn Bauer and I were the first two Realtors in Santa Barbara to take the EcoBroker courses and we continue to learn more and read about new technologies and products. As a member of many green organizations here in Santa Barbara, (Green Building Alliance, USGBC C4 Chapter member, Architecture 2030 Challenge board member, Built Green at the Santa Barbara Contractor’s Association, The Plan Santa Barbara group, co-founder of SB’s Green Drinks, The Sustainability Project and helper of TSP’s yearly adult ed courses) DeAnn and I are proud to call ourselves green.

That being said, we along with everyone else can be greener and more sustainable in our day to day lives. We have several green built and or LEED certified listings hitting the market in the next few months…please stay tuned for details! Hopefully the phrase “green built” will be unnecessary one day in the not too distant future and all building will be done with sustainability in mind.
