Green Building and Certification
 
 Building a Green Home is easier then some may think.  Many Home
 Builders today implement many green practices  but lack the
 certification or haven't had their homes rated by a qualified evaluator.

 Why should builders construct green homes or use as many sustainable
 features as possible?

 As more people become aware of environmental issues, more home buyers
 are requesting green homes.  They are even willing to pay a higher price
 knowing that in the long run they will save money on utilities and be
 helping the environment at the same time.  Additionally, there are tax
 credits and loan programs that allow buyers to qualify for a higher mortgage
 if they buy a green home.

 You will find a wealth of information on this page and numerous links to 
 Green resources.  

I look forward to bringing builders, buyers and sellers together to meet our  common goal of leading a greener lifestyle. Contact me if you fall into one of  these categories.  I will be glad to assist you in whatever way I can.
