Go for Broke(r)
The Bite
Tired of watching your hard-earned green disappear into sky-high rent? Pay a visit to Susan Singer, a savvy local real-estate broker who's certified by EcoBroker International, a program run by a former Dept. of Energy director that educates realtors about green home issues and solutions. Susan's got answers to all the eco-Q's you might have while looking for a greener home, including indoor air quality; energy and water (and cash-money) conservation; sustainable bamboo flooring (top of our wish list); and xeriscape landscaping. She can even cover things you may never have considered, such as green financing and green home certification, so you don't break the bank (or the earth) when you buy.
