With deep roots in the Pacific Northwest and a desire to preserve its natural beauty, we fully recognize the need for humanity to move towards the consumption and use of our natural resources in a sustainable and renewable way. Right now leading a green lifestyle is a choice, but at some point in the future it will become a necessity no matter what your political views.
Our Qualifications
- Financial modeling of energy savings in the renewable energy business
- Built Green Certification
- Interviewed numerous green builders on green building techniques, materials and energy saving systems
- Hundreds of hours in independent research on eco-friendly green homes
- Toured many different levels and varieties of eco-friendly green homes
This fairly unique background allows us to present our clients with informed choices about what matches the level of green they’d like in their next home, and to explain the various tradeoffs and paybacks of green materials and energy systems. Between Mark's sales, marketing and business background, and Patricia's legal background in addition to our years of experience in real estate, we have a powerful set of assets to offer our clients. We've also been practicing meditation for 15 years and believe it is the key component to the joy we experience in our marriage, and brings a calm and level-head to the stress and pressures of transacting real estate.
