Eco-Real Estate
There are undoubtedly many real estate agents in the Quad City region and odds are every person knows at least one agent, if not more. That's why I continually look for ways to separate myself from the rest of the crowd. One such way I have done so is acquiring my Certified EcoBroker® designation. As an advocate for a greener lifestyle this additional education gave me increased knowledge which pertains specifically to a real estate tra
nsaction and more importantly, knowledge that I can pass along to my buyers and sellers. And I am the only Realtor® in the Quad Cities who has earned this designation.
