Member Spotlight: Leap into a Green Home

Every choice you make can impact the environment, including the purchase of a home.  Leap Realty is a green–minded, full service real estate firm that specializes in marketing the energy efficiency and other eco-friendly features of homes.  The company was founded on the belief that businesses, even real estate agencies, can operate in ways that do not use excessive resources.  Leap Realty is a 100% certified Eco-broker firm.  This means all of their agents and brokers have been educated and certified to look for energy efficiency, sustainable features, and health in a home.  

Leap Realty agents help people find the most efficient homes on the market and educate clients in the process, ensuring the home they choose will be a great investment for years to come.   Leap agents advise homeowners about how they can increase their resale value by lowering utility costs, improving indoor air quality, and reducing home maintenance.  Each home Leap sells undergoes a Green Property Checklist, which highlights the home’s green and energy efficient features as a means to differentiate Leap homes from others on the market.

Beyond excellent service in selling and purchasing a home, Leap Realty offers the Leap Realty's Smart Home ProVisions Kits.  PEA members get a free customized kit at the time of closing when you use a Leap Realtor.  Kits include items such as: programmable thermostats, outlet gaskets, low-flow shower heads, energy conserving surge protectors, and more. They also have a complete line of resource books and are an approved distributor for the Smart Strip (as seen on Oprah).  Visit them at the Triad Home and Garden Show, where they will be showcasing and selling the items mentioned above, plus more.    

Also, check out their website, which is powered by solar servers.  Leap contributes to the carbon fund to reduce their footprint and supports a variety of organizations, including PEA, that promote earth friendly living.  Leap Realty proves that environmental responsibility is possible and profitable in business.
