GREEN, GREEN, GREEN! 

Money is GREEN but now everywhere you look builders, developers, investors are talking
about the new buzz word "GREEN".  Green Buildings, Green Homes, Green Communities!
I went to visit a new development last week and the developer/builder took me on a tour
of his homes with more natural light, green materials and built to the green specifications.

I know that every BUYER that invests in a home today will get more for their GREEN!  They
will get GREEN because these homes are more efficient, they have tighter materials, they
offer value for your GREEN! 

I have now attended two conventions for CREW (Commercial Real Estate Women) where
I learned about the developer/builder utilizing LEED Standards. I want to be knowledgeable
so that I can assist my clients in today's market to give them GREEN for their money and
my knowledge and expertise. 

The question is NOT how much more does GREEN cost? The question is how much GREEN
can we be with our today's budget and how much GREEN will this give us over the years?

It's truly remarkable.  I discussed with one developer how schools are now built GREEN.
Manufacturing companies put more skylights so that employees can have more natural
light, therefore, they work more efficiently.  Children in GREEN schools are more alert.
I flew thru the Paris airport and noticed that they were planting GREEN plants on their
hangars.  The carpeting they now install is GREEN, it is supposedly static free and has no
chemicals that are dangerous to us.

We better watch out!  Pretty soon our neighbors will be turning GREEN with envy if they
see how much GREEN we have in our homes.  So my advise to you is, don't be mean,
GO GREEN!
