- Electronic document signatures: Sign your documents via the web rather than printing and driving to meet saves time, effort and money plus documents are more readable and therefore accurate.
- Complete listings: providing accurate descriptions plus online documents for buyer due diligence. I provide all Residential Property Disclosures and Home Owner Association Disclosures online for viewing and download. In each listing you will find a notebook filled with pertinent documents such as well permits, improvements, and road maintenance agreements. All documents are available online by request.
- Recycled paper: I use recycled paper for printing and try to limit the number of pages printed to essential documents plus print double sided whenever possible. I use previously printed on paper for drafts and use the clean side.
- Recycle printer cartridges: I participate in manufacturer or retail recycling programs to reduce landfills and re-use cartridges.
- Paperless listings: Instead of the usual flyer box I provide a "talking house" telephone number to call for additional information and now the Quick Response (QRC) Codes that can be read by smart phones.
- Support local businesses: I support locally owned businesses professionally and personally http://shoplocalraleigh.org/.
- Volunteer: currently I am working with the Triangle Chapter of the USGBC to promote more green building, understanding of energy efficiency and assisting other NC Realtor associations to add green fields through the Green The MLS project.
