Welcome to my Blog: Green Real Estate in Ottawa
Green
is not an end point, but a process. It means many things to people, whether it
is energy efficiency, reduced operating costs, reduced environmental impacts,
or living close to your work. When it comes to a home, green can include a
number of considerations such as energy efficiency, sustainable materials,
central location, and reduced environmental health impacts.
The
benefits of green real estate properties include reducing greenhouse gases outputs
and impacts, reducing the cost of operating and maintaining a home, and
improving the comfort of a home and quality of life for yourselves and your
children. In our increasingly connected world, our sustainability choices can
reduce impacts on our neighbourhood, city and world.
Whatever
green means to you, I will work with you to understand your green interests,
and how they can best be integrated with your real estate goals. Whether you
are buying or selling a home, it makes sense to think about sustainability. Working with an agent that understands
energy and sustainability will add value in your search and sale. You can find
out more at my website: http://rogersenecalhomes.ca/
