Sarasota Buyer Agents - Going Green

Sarasota is a beautiful natural paradise, and this town attracts people who love the outdoors and are largely committed to staying active and healthy. The opening of several new kayak launches , as well as the Legacy Trail,all speak to that. The newest hot restaurants in town include Lonjevity Cafe, a vegetarian and health food restaurant which boasts downright tasty entrees. What's next? Green real estate!

There are many designations that a realtor can obtain. They include specialization in second home purchases, resort properties, even international buyers. All of these have special significance in the Sarasota market, which is why we are dedicated to educating ourselves on all these specializations. The latest achievement recognizes the growing awareness of our customers of environmental issues and how they affect quality of life.

The Green designation certifies that your Realtor has awareness and knowledge of green building principles specifically applied in residences. They have been schooled in how to guide buyer-clients in purchasing and retrofitting green homes, as well as becoming an advocate for greener homes in the community. They have knowledge of the cost/benefit value of green homes and features, resource-efficient home systems, appliances, building methods and materials, benefits of an energy audit, sources of VOCs and toxins that impact indoor air quality and the environment


William True, Broker, is one of the first Realtors to earn this important and relevant new designation, proving once again our dedication to ongoing education to the benefit of our clients.
