Why Ecobroker?

Dan Wilhelm, the 3 Options Realty executive manager, is a certified EcoBroker®.  He also holds the GREEN professional designation from the National Association of REALTORS®.  That means he has distinguished himself above traditional brokers by his concern for our environment and has proven his commitment to the encouragement of conservation and healthy-living features in homes and buildings. 

EcoBrokers® recognize and know how to promote environmentally responsible and sustainable practices in the real estate industry.  Whether you are a home seller, home buyer, landlord, or tenant, it would serve your best interest to work with a brokerage that is aware of sustainable-living systems in homes, and can guide you through the process so that you maximize this technology.

What you should know about how the green industry affects you:

In a national survey, roughly nine in ten people (91%) said energy-efficient features in a new home are extremely or very important.

National statistics indicate that home values increase by about $20 for every $1 reduction in annual utility bills.

94% of 300 American surveyed cited their most sought-after green upgrade as energy savings.

With the help of energy-efficient technologies, Americans saved over $8 billion on their energy bills while preventing greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to the emissions of 18 million vehicles

By 2008, home builders had constructed over 360,000 Energy Star® qualified new homes, nearing 10% market penetration of annual new homes built nationwide.  New home innovation and pricing have traditionally set market trends in the re-sale market.
