Poinciana Realtor Turns Green

As of yesterday, Darhlene Zeanwick became one of the only-3,100 Realtors in the entire U.S. with Green Leadership certification from the National Association of Realtors.  The research is voluminous.  Green really affects every aspect of life and lifestyle.  For example, do you have any idea how much carbon dioxide your home puts out into the air each year?

Try about 13,500 pounds for a 3,000-square-foot home.  Most of Poinciana's homes are not quite that large but still:  If you have a 1,000-square-foot home, that property is  putting out more or less 4,500 pounds of carbon dioxide every year and, let's see, each person lives how many years?

With the mug-me levels of heat in Florida, especially in August, it's not that unusual to hear of cooling bills as high as $400 in one month!  And we're not talking in-door marijuana grow houses either.  These are real people who apparently like it cold.  Frosty!

Improving technology and something called a credit crisis will have an impact on the affordability of energy-saving devices such as "tankless" water heaters, a great idea for smaller homes. Or try this one on for size: The "sealed attic," which is said to keep the temperature of an attic within 10 degrees of the temperature inside your living room. Now wouldn't that be a money-saver here in Central Florida? 

If you're looking for ways to reduce your carbon footprint, save energy or water, and save money in the process, check out this blog in the future for green information you can use.  And, if you've received LEED, FGBC, or Florida Yard certification, selling your home with Darhlene will maximize exposure for your home, exposure that no other offers yet in Poinciana.
