Canadian builders going green, read the headline, and it got me thinking about the cost of not just building 'green', but of converting to green in our existing homes. Being able to list your house as a 'green' home must still be a novelty these days. One reason is that it can be expensive to switch to green, but there are reasonable contributions that the average family can easily make toward green living.  

Of course, people go green for different reasons; for some of them it is just a common sense solution to allergies suffered in the family. But why do other people choose to put themselves through this hassle. It is not money, we know that much; going green usually costs more, not less.

Joe called us in Halifax and listened to our needs and offered an extensive list of homes to view. When we arrived in Calgary for our house hunting visit, we worked him very hard, 23 viewings in one day, very long day!. Joe was patient and a well informed, supportive partner throughout the negotiations. He helped us find a lawyer and someone to review the condominium reports.

Joe supplied referrals for painters and carpet cleaners, picked up our keys as we could not be there for closing"
