As a NAR GREEN certified agent, I strive to move the industry forward in an environmentally conscious and responsible manner. Knowledge of and exposure to green and sustainable options are the major hurdles in getting people to take an active role in preserving our environment. My aim is to be that source of knowledge for my clients, whether it is explaining what a HERs score means, or referring t
he name of a contractor with green building experience. Purchasing a home is about more than the mortgage payment. Its about staying healthy and happy in that home. Saving a few dollars on your gas bill could be as simple as wrapping your hot water heater in an insulating jacket or programming your thermostat correctly. Breathing better could mean something as small as setting your central humidifier to the appropriate setting or putting a fresh coat of low VOC paint on the walls. In a sea of real estate agents all offering the same transactional service, I approach the business from a more holistic perspective. Getting my clients the best deal is about a whole lot more than just getting them the best price. One of the most important and underrated parts of living a sustainable life is staying in touch with your community. To that end, this page is meant to be not just about all things real estate but also all things Chicago. Keeping a finger on the pulse of your community is an interactive endeavor so please feel free to clue me into any goings on you think we should all know about. Chicago is one of the U.S. cities taking a proactive stance in greening with things like green roof initiatives and the Chicago Center for Green Technology. Come here to see what's happening in the 2nd city and be a part of the conversation keeping Chicago 2nd to none.
