Welcome home to Austin

There is so much to love about Austin. We are the greenest city in Texas for starters. If you are interested in Green properties, Austin is the place to look. From beautiful off grid homes in the Hill Country to new green communities created with families in mind, there is truly something for everyone. Hiring a real estate agent familiar with green building is vitally important if you want to find a truly green property. Greenwashing can make even the most energy inefficient home sound like a treehugger's dream. Knowing the difference takes knowledge and training that most agents don't have. When interviewing an agent, ask about what they do to reduce their carbon footprint. Because walking the walk is a lot harder than talking the talk.
