Are YOU the 100th Monkey? Active Rain Visionaries on the Subjects of Purpose, Collaboration, Responsibility and Healthy Lifestyles.
Dateline Asheville, North Carolina, July, 2009News and Views from Asheville's Greenolina, Real Estate Eco-StewardYears ago, the "100th Monkey" theory was widely popular and often quoted. It went like this: if, one by one, a hundred monkeys on a distant island learn how to use sticks for picking bananas the knowledge of picking bananas with sticks all of a sudden becomes an integral part of monkey consciousness. All monkeys everywhere all around the world will then be privy to this knowledge and be … (11 comments)

eco all stars: Eco-Friendly Real Estate Professionals: IMPACT & Trends - Part IV :: RESPONSIBILITY - 07/18/09 02:36 PM
Dateline Asheville, North Carolina, July, 2009News and Views from Asheville's Greenolina, Real Estate Eco-Steward  
Do real estate professionals wish to support and/or help as people restructure neighborhoods, towns and the larger community? Many will say that they do, and in genuinely new and liberating ways. "We cannot do so just by the decree of law. Instead, we can look closer to home, with ourselves, our personal integrity, our own energy, " they might tell you.
In other words, all of us have to become ourselves, whole and healthy individuals. We have to think for ourselves, take good care of ourselves emotionally and physically, and follow our … (2 comments)

eco all stars: Eco-Friendly Real Estate Professionals: IMPACT & Trends- Part III ::COLLABORATION - 07/16/09 08:12 AM
Dateline Asheville, North Carolina, July, 2009News and Views from Asheville's Greenolina, Real Estate Eco-Steward  
COLLABORATION: Does it seem to you that, within the amazing tapestry of life, individual well-being is woven together with the golden threads of collaboration- supporting the  local and larger community?
Bringing personal endeavors into alignment witha collaborative approach to solving problems is typical of an eco-friendly real estate professional's approach.
Everybody can benefit.
Although based on an individual's interest, in the collaborative choice, everyone's actions contribute to overall good. I have heard Native Americans refer to this extended sense of community as "all of our relations".

eco all stars: What Are the Various REALTORS' Green Designations?" - 05/29/09 10:44 AM
News and Views from Asheville's  Eco-Steward, May, 2009  
" What are your various GREEN designations?"  our client, a First Time Home Buyer seeking a *HealthyBuilt Home®  here in Asheville asked as she looked at the conference room wall. I had to smile. That wall is colorfully occupied with numerous licenses, designations and certifications. I guess she couldn't help but notice the not quite superfluity of framed documentation of the advanced training we have completed. 
We hold the Eco Certified® Real Estate Consultant, ( see our group at LinkedIn) NAR's GREEN Designation®   as well as the EcoBroker® Certification.  
Each of these provides advanced … (0 comments)

STARLIGHT ON..... DENA STEVENS
Dena  tells us the people she has met in her real estate practice have had an impact on her. She says learns from everyone she meets- the buyers, sellers, title people, REALTORS®, appraisers, down to the last receptionist. Each has had an impact on her business and she has learned something from every one of them. In fact, daily Dena  strives and pushes herself to learn something or experience something new.
Maybe you could guess by the fact that she 'wears a lot of green" that Dena is Pueblo Colorado's first Ecobroker, a  designation that helped to give her … (6 comments)
