SHADES OF GREEN…
“Access to data is not a value proposition anymore. Helping consumers to understand and utilize the overabundance of data is a value proposition. The industry needs to reinvent the value it delivers to a new breed of hyperinformed consumers who want a higher level of value than is [typically] being delivered today." Gragg Miller, Coldwell Banker Miller-Arnason in his mid-year report about the state of the real estate industry. August 1, 2008.
Looking for a green home? No doubt you've been sifting through an myriad of websites and property listings for quite some time. NationalGreenList.com was created to provide an easy-to-use marketplace for buyers and sellers of green properties to come together effortlessly… to help you ferret out what's important!
We all know that not all green homes are as committed to whole ‘green' thing as some would like, and it's no secret that these homes offer a very wide range of green features. So in order to help you figure out just how green our property listings are, we adopted the USGBC standards; there are 11 categories of green features that go a long way toward creating healthy and sustainable homes. Our sellers must have at least one green feature in a minimum of 8 categories - most have many more.
Our website will evolve and grow, bringing you simple tools to make your green home search easier. Our commitment to you is that we will always strive to present this information in the easy-to-use format you will find here, with minimal intrusion on your privacy. And, our website will always keep the green real estate listings the main thing.
As awareness grows, so will the demand for greener technologies and materials, and that's what will drive the trend. Our mission here is to simplify your efforts to make your life greener, and in the long run, healthier!
We welcome your feedback as we evolve our site, and hope you will benefit from our work!
