asheville green real estate: Asheville's GREEN Real Estate Broker Muses , "It's Time for GREEN. . ." - 09/24/06 03:41 PM
 
Time must be the most convenient invention of the human mind – sometimes it's even a tool for getting to staff  meetings when everyone else does.
On Tuesday, when we get together, I ask our eco-friendly Buyers' Brokers to bring clip boards and use forms we have created mostly so that we can get through our staff  meetings in a "timely" manner.  
We have so much to talk about these days what with the "Green Revolution" and the surge in green building in the Asheville area. Don't laugh, but we even have a “designated” clock watcher and set the timer to keep us moving … (2 comments)

asheville green real estate: an Asheville Evening - 09/20/06 05:01 PM
          It's one of those perfect, clear nights in Asheville. Not a cloud in the sky. From my ridgetop, facing north, a million stars above call my name. Here in the venerable mountains, almost as old as time itself, tonight I am thinking that it actually  is easy to connect with something much larger than myself. We all know that as you relax, your heart just opens wide, and that magic connection simply happens.. But, tonight that knowing is very present, and a certain embracing serenity is in the air. Maybe that’s why Asheville ranks as the “Happiest City in the USA”. … (1 comments)

asheville green real estate: Family Ties, New ECO-Friendly Neighborhoods,& Relocation with a Nod to Nature - 09/20/06 04:33 PM
Because I am in Asheville,North Carolina and so many people want to be here, a particular interest to me in my real estate practice is providing good information to my relocating clients.
From time to time, families new to the area, tell me they really miss the sense of belonging and family ties they had in their previous neighborhoods. For example, high school kids let me know that it’s not easy to feel uprooted  and to  leave their pals in another city. Parents agree. They want to deal with concerns about “the culture” at a new school before they relocate here. In response … (10 comments)

asheville green real estate: What Dogs Teach Us - 09/15/06 11:06 AM
. DOGS are wonderful beings.  
Each day it seems I learn something new from my canine companions. For instance, on our morning walk down our rural road today. Each time I breathed in the cool almost-Autumn air, there seemed to be a certain freshness. Each familiar boulder, newly covered with dew, looked different.  I noticed each of my breath-clouds in the chilly air. Soon however, my thoughts overtook me and I ended up on a quite another road. Memories of yesterday, and plans for today floated around in my mind like so many bubbles on the pond I visited along the way. And … (7 comments)

asheville green real estate: Asheville Real Estate and "Smart Growth" - 09/14/06 04:22 PM
 Connor came home from school the other day talking about “smart growth.” Barb, his Mom, a new client of ours thought he was talking about how fast he was growing. Maybe her contribution to his "smart growth" should be to buy his shoes a size too big. But Connor straightened her out right away.
Connor explained that ”Smart Growth”  is a term that Asheville and other communities are using to articulate their goal for a relatively compact  pattern of development that accommodates a diversity of people, housing types and jobs. "It works well for everybody, and makes efficient use of public … (4 comments)

asheville green real estate: REALTORS GET IT...Change is Constant - 09/13/06 05:30 PM
UPDATE: June, 2007   
This was one of my very first posts. I almost deleted it back a few months ago because it is so "syrupy"..(is that a word?)..but I'm glad I didn't because someone might  READ ....and even comment.  ..one day.***
REALTORS get it! We know that change is a constant..possibly even more so these days. Here in Asheville, NC, for example, we seem to be in the midst of a a revolution of sorts. More and more people here in the Western North Carolina mountains notice changes. They are, subtle and not-so subtle, and have to do with the way we perceive our surroundings, and … (8 comments)

asheville green real estate: Mars Hill, N.C., ECO-Friendly living. Small Town. Sustainable Community. "High-Performance" Homes. Relaxing Views from the Hillside - 09/12/06 08:27 AM
Quality of Life. Sustainable Communities. "High-Performance" Homes and ECO-Friendly Living.
 For those of us who have come home to North Carolina, exhaling the "fumes" from zooming, full-tilt, down life’s highway while forfeiting a more natural, “earthly” pace, this Appalachian wonder, where you can just hang outand “set a spell, " is a miracle. A slower pace, homemade peach cobbler, and just "BE-ING" here in Western North Carolina, where the French Broad River runs boldly and small towns nestle comfortably beneath the sheltering wealth of the oldest mountains on Earth, is home to a particular breed of REALTOR .You may find such a person standing on … (1 comments)

asheville green real estate: Asheville Real Estate from an Energy Efficient Perspective - 09/10/06 03:05 AM
"Green" Sustainable Real Estate is energy efficient. ! And saving energy and $$$ is exciting.  Things HAPPEN when people start getting together and talking. And the the talk here in the Greater Asheville area, where "THINGS" already are happening, is about making wise choices in terms of sustainability.  Here in Asheville, it is safe to say that we are on a roll for sustainable inoovation.
Asheville, N.C.'s creative citizenry has set its heart on finding ways around the "energy crisis" and the global warming predicament. They are taking a leadership role in "unearthing" new ways that will benefit our ecology and our … (5 comments)
