Helpful Green Websites

There are many well-done websites out there that can provide real estate professionals with the knowledge and awareness of green building principles.

We need to be able to list and market green residences, green commercial properties and green developments, as well as guide our buyers in purchasing these properties.

Here are a few to get you started:

Thanks Peggy for the post. I subscribe to the Daily Green and I love it! I have a lot of eco friendly information on my website and feel it is our responsibility to learn more about green construction, adding value to your current home, saving money on utilities, and making your home more energy efficient. I will definitely check out the website you have posted, they look like would be very informative.

Elayna Fernandez - Naples FL Thank you for taking the time to share this with us. I'm all for green!

I've been building green homes for over 8 years nows. I started a group on AR called the Green Zone. I invite the AR community to sign up and contribute blogs and resources to it. I post all my feature articles for my own website that is all about green new home construction.

Peggy, thank you for your post. I have bookmarked all the sites you posted.

Some great sites in there. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for this informative post. I'm going to add the links to my web site to help visitors be more informative. We need to make this information available as much as possible. GO GREEN!!

Thanks for the information I have thought about getting the designation but dont really want to try jumping on that band wagon too. Leave it to someone who truly lives that lifestyle and has the niche down.

OK fine I might take a look at the sites. But I don't buy the green thing at all.

Thanks for the post, Peggy. You've listed some new ones for me. I also have a list on my website that you might want to check.

Thanks for the post. I have visited several of the sites and really appreciate the information. Very helpful...

Anything you have that helps the earth or is eco friendly please share. Thanks so much.

Green, live in something small that is already built. We have so much green stuff here its hard to keep up the place for human habitation. Only kidding but there is a lot of green here.

I totally agree with you. I am in the Metro West area of Boston and we are behind in getting on board with being green in housing.

I have been green for last 26 years. I have signed up for the NAR designation and I hope that we can convince our builders to get on board with this.

Hi Peggy;

I'm all for green and I agree with you, thank you for the links.

Hi Peggy:

Thanks for sharing the websites...good sites to forward.

I'm all for going Green...

Even Gang Green... J-E-T-S ... JETS - JETS - JETS! (Just had to get in a comment on my team!)

Have a Happy Thanksgiving,

Peggy,

Contact your local Tampa HouseMaster office for your free "Going Green" handbag. This will allow you to carry your things to inspections or showings much easier all while promoting the "Green" theme. As for anyone in the Charlotte Metro or Gaston County, North Carolina, Contact me and I will be sure to get you some, Complimentary! Congrats for doing your part!

Thanks for the info. I am always on the look out for more resources.I will check them out-Dinah Lee

Very nice, I hope it works out to your favor soon. You deserve it!

Thank you so much for the information. That is very important. I will watch your blog.

Thanks! I'll use it as a reference.

Thanks for sharing, I have this bookmarked!

A great start to going green -- what did you think of the NAR course? I know a lot of people are interested in finding out more. eco-all stars vs. Nar Green -- which is better?

Great info Peggy! I am bookmarking it too. Thanks for putting it all together.

im becoming a greenie after years of being a mass consumer, slowly but surely and litttle by little

Bookmarking it, Peggy - thanks for sharing the info! I'm curious like Joan is--what are your impressions of the NAR Green course?

Hi Peggy,

Good idea and thanks so much. Bookmarked for use.

Very nice to see more of this.

That is a helpful list of websites. Thank you sharing it.

Peggy thanks for sharing the website -- Green is where it is headed -- we are starting to see a lot of this in Myrtle Beach -- Best of luck JE

Thanks for the green website information. I did not know that they even existed.

Thanks for those sites--I am just starting to get into the whole "green" issues.

Thanks so much for sharing these great sites! I definitely want to go more green with my clients as well!

Hi everyone, thanks for your great comments. For those of you who don't "buy into" the green "trend" ... it doesn't matter if you think humans have contributed to global warming or if it's cyclical in nature, the fact remains that greener living will (1) cost us less energy dollars, and (2) help keep the planet healthier for our grandkids.

Why not clean up after ourselves?

Why not recycle?

Why not think about your personal impact on the earth's limited resources?

You don't have to drive an electric car to help your clients check out whether a home utiliizes Energy Star appliances and has double glazed windows. Being "green aware" is just another service we can offer our customers. This is not a trend. This is an awakening. I'm not a pot smoking hippy, I'm a 50-something woman who wants to start doing the right thing and live conciously.

Again, thanks for your comments. If any of you come across other interesting websites, I'd love to check them out so feel free to share.

thanks for the information, I am looking for the the NAR's green designation to go live online....

To the Activerain gods.....thanks for the gold star!!!

I actually attended a green seminar yesterday in Charlotte and it kinda helped me understand the whole concept!

In Idaho there isn't a whole lot of green building going on. I think it's so very important, and I thank you for these links.

Helpful post, Peggy. Realtors should become more familiar with green products so they can promote those when marketing a listing. A builder we work with has made it easy for us by incorporating a "Green" package with some of the homes he builds.

Congrats on your new "Green" Designation! We will be offering it here at our association soon. Did you find it very informative?

I love the surge to green and in the past 6 months it is racing along.

Thanks for the great websites to refer to. I have a lot of clients that are very "green" minded. This will be helpful.

Thanks for sharing these sites with us...off to go check them out!

Thanks for this list. Am off to check same out. The "green" is not an "out there" trend, but is a mainstream reaction.

This is a great list, thanks for sharing! Also for any building industry members, we have a great Virtual Assistant member - Dawn Olinek - Green Virtual Assistant serving the architecture, engineering, and construction industry as a new fellow member here. She would be a great resource to you also, in addition to all the great links that Peggy provided!

Hi Peggy - what a great list of green sites you've put together here! I'm just learning about 'green' stuff, so will check out the sites here and see what I can learn!

Ann

Great info. Thanks!

Peggy,

Green housing is beginning to become more of a factor now in the consumer's mind. Of course it still has a way to go but websites like these will definitely help educate everybody of how important a concept it is.
