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.
