I just attending a Green Real Estate Professional Alliance Workshop at our local board which was a program developed by Steve Wooster of Michael Saunders in Sarasota Florida to help our Realtors® association develop a new committee under our local board called the Green Real Estate Alliance. Steve is currently the Chairman and founding member of the Green Real Estate Alliance of Sarasota and his goal is to spread the word. The Green Real Estate Alliance will help teach members and the general public about energy efficent and environmentally friendly home features, and the many ways to help protect our environment. Green real estate is attracting buyers. Green homes are not just good for the environment but also a way for your to make your listing stand out from all the rest. I am excited to help pioneer the Green Real Estate Alliance at the Venice Board of Realtors®. I feel we all should learn more about green building and sustainable living. It is not just good for our planet but our responsibility to help protect our environment. Please visit my web site for eco-friendly information for homebuyers looking to add value to their current home, save money on utilities, low or no cost ways to lessen your impact on the planet, create a healthier house and garden, and view list of green resource links.

Green contnues (as it should) to gain momentum. In Boston, we have a poster child for green condo developments, called the Macallen Building, a Gold LEED certified development that opened to residents in the summer of 2007 - a documentary film was even developed, called the Greening of Southie. The Mayor recently mandated that all new large office buildings need to be built green as well. Having knowledge of this arena has proven to be helpful.
Boston Condo Guy, It is great to hear that other areas of the country are embracing the "Green Movement." The GBP, Green Building Partnership in association with Sarasota County was initiated through a grant awarded by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to Sarasota County. The GBP recognizes business that make an effort to be green and in 2007 the GBP expanded to contractors. There are over 50 local members to date.
