Real Estate | Living Sustainably

Real Estate | Working Towards a Greener Future


Few aspects of our lives hold as much significance for the future of our planet as our homes. Every day, our actions within our personal spaces play a crucial role in driving the environmental changes that surround us. The presence of plastics in our oceans, rising temperatures, and the loss of habitats can all be linked back to the choices we make in our daily lives and the way we shape our homes. While it may seem overwhelming to tackle these issues, embarking on the journey of living more sustainably can bring fulfillment, tranquility, and happiness to our lives.

Our homes serve as canvases for creating a greener and more sustainable future. By making simple choices such as opting for energy-efficient lightbulbs and appliances, we can significantly reduce our energy consumption and make a positive impact on the planet. The field of building science has made remarkable advancements in designing systems, selecting materials, and implementing practices that allow us to minimize our ecological footprint and coexist harmoniously with nature.

Having personally immersed myself in this journey for over four decades, I hold a deep belief in its transformative power. From living off-grid with just four solar panels in an 1880s cabin to our current remodeled ranch equipped with 33 panels, batteries, geothermal HVAC, and various efficiency upgrades, I have experienced the joy of embracing sustainable living. As I work with clients who are transforming their homes into their own eco-friendly havens, I am honored to be a part of  their journeys.

If you are interested in exploring this path to living in harmony with nature as you seek your next home...let's talk, it is my favorite subject and a passion I love to share.
