Real Estate agents, Kate Richard and Shari Landsman, of RE/MAX In Motion, were the first agents, in the Ithaca area, to obtain their EcoBroker certification, the premiere green designation program for real estate professionals. Together they formed Eco Properties Group at RE/MAX In Motion Real Estate in Ithaca. The group was created with the goal to help increase the number of green homes on the market for immediate sale by working with the Ithaca Green Building Alliance and other local green building professionals.
