Shane Petersen - Windermere Real Estate Northwest, Inc.

As a certified EcoBroker® Realtor® based in Seattle I am trained in issues such as energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and green home design to help reduce the environmental impact and increase the overall health and comfort of a home. Educating home buyers about green building concepts, such as green building certification programs, healthy and environmentally friendly design, and energy-efficiency is my job. This gives me the opportunity to share knowledge, resources and options with my clients which will lead to healthier, more sustainable living. If you would like to learn more about green home construction or renovation, practical green improvements or remodels, please contact me. The key is educating the community. Once the knowledge is shared, the green choice is obvious. I assist builders and sellers by marketing their homes and promoting green features and energy-efficient design which sets them apart from the competition by focusing the value of these important features to prospective buyers. As a trained expert in marketing green building and energy-efficient features I showcase the reduced environmental impact, health benefits and built in savings of a green built home. Let me use my expertise to help you market these features to the community. My affiliations with professionals in the green building community allow me to provide my clients with the highest level of information and service possible. As a member of the Northwest EcoBuilding Guild I am at the forefront with the latest Green Building developments in our community. There are many incentive programs in our area that are designed to promote green building. These programs offer cost savings and encourage buyers to purchase energy-efficient, environmentally friendly and healthy homes. We can make a positive impact in our communities thru green building practices. Educating myself in green building practices allows me to be an informed advocate to help others. We only get one planet and it is up to us to make it a healthy, happy place to live. Please contact me with any questions or for more information!
