EcoHome Guy

I am a licensed Broker striving to be more than just a real estate agent -- I want to be a Change Agent. This blog is for people who are green-leaning and concerned with energy and environmental issues where they matter most:  the home. After all, our homes use more energy and cause more climate-changing greenhouse gases than our cars.

As one of Georgia's first certified EcoBrokers®, my passion is helping buyers and sellers of greener, healthier, more sustainable properties in the metro Atlanta area.  As a member of a national network of EcoBrokers® I can, in many cases, refer you to a green real estate agent regardless of where you live or wish to relocate.

I stay current on eco-trends and technologies pertinent to the homeowner and journal information that I hope will educate, enlighten, empower and even entertain my current and future clients.

Thanks for visiting and welcome to the other side of the fence.

We found Burke Sisco through his website, Ecohomeguy.com when we were searching for a real estate agent with an eco-conscience. True to the name, Burke proved to be extremely committed to and knowledgeable about green technologies and practices as he patiently helped guide us towards finding and obtaining our "greenovation" project. We still check his site regularly to see what is new and green in Atlanta.
