What is an EcoBroker?

EcoBroker is the first and largest education and certification program for real estate professionals who want to highlight energy-efficient and environmentally sensitive features in homes. As a certified EcoBroker I promote healthier, cost-effective and green practices in real estate. I help both buyers and sellers understand how green factors drive decisions in the current housing market.

For Buyers: What are the benefits of using an EcoBroker to buy my next home?

• Anticipate the potential monthly savings or costs of a home: As an EcoBroker, I can help you assess a home’s energy efficiency. There are costs or savings associated with insulation, windows, appliances, heating and cooling systems, and other features of a home that will affect your monthly budget.

• Assess indoor air quality and seek a healthy environment: I can help you understand environmental issues including indoor air quality, ventilation, use of low-VOC paints, quality radon testing, and water testing. I can help you address any problems before you buy your home.

• Consider building orientation and natural landscaping features: I understand how proper building orientation, natural light, overhangs and tree placement (for shading and windbreaks) can help reduce utility bills.
