I am pleased to announce my newest designation…EcoBroker! An EcoBroker is an education and certification program for Realtors who care about the environment and want to promote energy-efficient and ‘green’ features in homes and buildings. The EcoBroker logo is the symbol of environmentally responsible and sustainable practices in the real estate industry. My goal is to help promote healthier, cost-effective and green practices in real estate.
Want to learn more? I can help identify homes with ‘green’ features; I can share my understanding of energy efficiency and the costs or savings associated with building materials and heating and cooling systems. I can also help with building orientation and site location to help maximize the energy savings that can be properly derived from daylighting, overhangs and tree placement.

Local Bellingham builder constructs a home featured in Creating The Not So Big House.
Smart, efficient and borderline glamorous; this home is so adaptable it can happily house a retired couple or a large family. Not an ounce of wasted space. Three car detached garage, 3 bedrooms + office +craft room, upstairs laundry, outstanding views. Private location within walking distance of the local elementary school. Offered at $698,000. Please contact me for a tour. Here’s a quick excerpt describing the Not So Big House movement:
“CREATING THE NOT SO BIG HOUSE describes the design concepts that can take the
experience of living in a house from mere shelter to the art of dwelling.
Sarah Susankas widely acclaimed and best-selling first book, The Not So Big House, created a
movement that s changing the way Americans think about their homes. Seeking other like-minded architects who were using the same better-not-bigger approach, Susanka follows that phenomenal success with CREATING THE NOT SO BIG HOUSE, bringing together 25 beautifully designed new and remodeled homes that demonstrate the comfort, shelter, and practical beauty behind the Not So Big House concept. From these examples, Susanka outlines a new design language for homeowners, builders and architects to use to create their own Not So Big Houses. Read the rest of this entry »

SunEdison installs large scale solar on roofs like this one. SunEdison owns the “power plants” and the roof’s owner, in this case a Kohl’s department store, purchases the power from SunEdison. SunEdison profits from their investment by selling the electricity, collecting various rebates and tax credits, and selling the Renewable Energy Certificates that are generated along with the power.

A warning: If you have never ever tried eggs benedict, do not start now. It is terrible for you. Envision two perfectly poached eggs floating in a pond of homemade hollandaise pooled atop a homemade pillow of a waffle. Served with a side of potatos. It is todiefor. Served at one of my favorite lunch spots downtown www.mountbakery.com 309 Champion St., Bellingham Washington. I would enclose a picture, but you just need to see it on your own.
oh, p.s.
Their crepes are great too. Trust me, I once had a bite of my sister’s. She was foolish enough not to order the benedict.
