Introducing Green Nest Realty Services
At New Urban Realty we've always been on board with sustainable, eco-friendly, green building. Beyond that, we try to model authentic green lifestyle and business practices. Now our goal is to be the greenest real estate service provider in Atlanta.
So we're changing our name.
We are now Green Nest Realty Services. Although New Urbanism is a very green concept, we've found the term has never really resonated. It's kind of like the phrase "show me the money." Cameron Crowe, the director of Jerry Maguire, has said that he thought the phrase that would catch on with the public after seeing his movie was "the Quan." It was Rod Tidwell's grammatical invention, a word he used for defining the desirable combination of community + ability + love + coin + respect. Instead, it was "show me the money" that became popular. Quan is a high-level, 10,000 foot word -- like "new urbanism." Everybody can appreciate good urban planning and neighborhood design, but it comes down to where people live -- their personal nest.
So we think Green Nest Realty Services describes what we do better. It conveys our focus on working with green buyers and sellers and our ability to provide excellent greenovation services. And it speaks of our goal to be Atlanta's greenest real estate company.
It's a good name, I think, but we've got a problem. It's the logo. I'm usually pretty good at coming up with stuff like logos and slogans and such, but I must admit I'm drawing a blank so far. And I've been wracking my brain for a couple of weeks. EcoBroker has that nest thing going on with their logo so the lazy thing would be to drop a little cartoon home in a nest and call it a day. But I'm just not feeling it.
So in the spirit of Web 2.0, where transparency and collaboration and business flow together, I'm asking for your help. Got any good ideas for a logo? Share it with me? Please? It's very Quan if you think about it. As a matter-of-fact, send me your ideas for the logo for Green Nest Realty Services, and if we choose your design, I'll show you the money. 100 bucks. Is that worth your time to help a brother out?
Be my Ambassador of Quan...

Who knows...
A "green" client would see the environmental emphasis...... but included as well for a standard client.... they would see the "nest egg" idea .....for the seller cashing in their nest egg and for the purchaser ..... buying their families nest egg and security.
Good luck with your search!!!

Seeing that Earth Day is tommorow, I am trying to find easy, simple things I can do to help stop global warming (I don’t plan on buying a hybrid). Has anyone seen that www.EarthLab.com is promoting their Earth Day (month) challenge, with the goal to get 1 million people to take their carbon footprint test in April? I took the test, it was easy and only took me about 2 minutes and I am planning on lowering my score with some of their tips.
I am looking for more easy fun stuff to do. If you know of any other sites worth my time let me know.
