Are you a Savvy woman?

Are you a woman homeowner who could use added information about how to maintain your home?  Check out Savvy Seattle Women (SSW). We are a not-for-profit group providing 3 primary resources free of charge.

First, we host a free monthly workshop on topics such as: "Should you Remodel, Refi or Sell?"  "Winterizing your Yard and Home," and "How to Find Qualified Service Providers."

Second, we have a Google Group, designed to host discussions on topics related to home ownership. To join, go to: www.groups.google.com/group/savvyseattlewomen. (You will need to either have or create a free google account in order to participate.)

Third, we are compiling a list of recommended service professionals you can call when you have homeowner tasks you don't feel capable of doing yourself. Individuals on the list are licensed and bonded. They must provide SSW with references and agree to have clients fill out a written evaluation of their work each time they are referred by SSW.

If you are a professional who would like to apply for inclusion on our list, e-mail us at SavvySeattleWomen@comcast.net.

We are currently recruiting new Board members and planning our calendar of workshops for 2011.

Green myths debunked!

Ready to take a step toward green? It's easier than you might think. 


There are a lot of misconceptions today about the time and money it takes to implement green home features and sustainable lifestyle practices. As a Realtor with added education in "Green", I'd like to help set the record straight.

Myth: Going green will cost an arm and a leg.
WRONG! There are a variety of cost-effective ways to green your home and lifestyle that can actually SAVE you money. Discover this and many other reasons why to go green.

Myth: To have a green building, you need to be LEED* certified. 
WRONG! LEED is setting a standard for existing and new green homes and buildings. You can implement green products and practices into your home or office that reduce energy consumption, save money and save the environment without being LEED rated or certified.

Myth: One person can't make a difference.
WRONG! I believe that every step towards green is a step in the right direction. Whether you change one habit or your entire way of living, your actions can reduce your carbon footprintand make a world of difference in the long run.


Want to know more?  Give me a call at 206-708-9800 today. No pressure, no selling, just helpful information.




*Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)
The green building certification program created by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). The comprehensive rating system (based on prerequisites and points) takes a whole building approach factoring in community resources & public transit, site characteristics, water efficiency, energy efficiency, materials & resources, indoor environmental quality, awareness & education, and innovation.

Happy Thanksgiving!
