Attention Mortgage Brokers!!!
I just went online to use the Florida Solar Energy Center's database that lists Mortgage Bankers who do green financing in Florida. I wanted to see who can provide this financing option in Leon County. Only one broker was listed!!!

Is there really no more than one broker in the area who can provide Energy Efficient Financing?
NO!
So what's wrong? Why did only one broker come up in the database? This database is accessible and used regularly by all Home Energy Raters in the State of Florida - the guys doing ENERGY STAR certifications, HERS ratings, and interacting with homeowners/homebuyers who may be looking for financing options that reward their green choices.
With hundreds to thousands of homes each year getting certified in each major urban area, this is a potential source of business that you are completely missing out on. Get into it. Stand out from the crowd!!!

Wow, nice can of spam above. As for the post, I need to explore such designation in my own market. Despite our abundant sunshine and the obvious demand for efficient solar powered components in our homes, it still hasn't really caught on with the mainstream market (both consumer and professional). Now I'm intrigue to see if there is a green financing presence here. There must be, but you just never hear anything about it. Thanks for the post.
