Nancy Goes Green 

During 2008 I was designated a EcoBroker. EcoBroker is America’s premiere provider of green designation training for real estate professionals. Founded in 2002 the company provides environmental education and outreach to the real estate community. In order to qualify as an EcoBroker,, a real estate sales person must complete two vigorous courses, the Environmental Advantage, that covers radon, asbestos, lead and mold, as well as indoor air quality and water quality issues, and the Energy Advantage, which explores sustainable energy options such as solar, LEED certification and green financing tools.

Environmental issues are very common in New Jersey Real Estate transactions, so this information is invaluable to me in providing service to my customers. Energy issues are just coming to the forefront in the area, with towns such as Maplewood designing their new municipal buildings (the new Police Department) in a “green “ design and some limited solar panels popping up in Essex and Union Counties.

I have complied some local resources that might help with your real estate transaction. Or if you are thinking of remodeling your home, these companies might be of service to you.
