Living Green in Seattle

As usual, I set out today to do my weekly rounds of getting to know what is on the market.  As a Certified Ecobroker, my passion is Green Real Estate.  How can you not love something that is better for the environment?  After all, as a mother, it is my duty to try to leave this earth a better place than when I found it.  In that regard, I have a strong belief in the good of building green and of the importance of educating my clients, in hopes they too will see the benefits of living green. 

Getting a 5 Star Built-Green certification is no easy task.  Of the 25 5-Star homes in King and Snohomish county, 19 of them are by Martha Rose, a pioneer in sustainable building.  As I pulled in the driveway of her new development, Queen City Eco-Village at the Homestead, on Greenwood Ave N. in Shoreline, Martha was actually there working on the landscaping.  She came right up to me and introduced herself, letting me know if I had any questions, that she was the builder.  Lucky me, I thought to myself, to meet someone that I hold with such high regard.  Her work is amazing and I encourage each and everyone of you to go and take a look. 

It is up to us working in the Real Estate community to educate our buyer's about the benefits of living green.  Living in a Martha Rose home is like living in the Cream-of-the-Crop.
