Miami's Top Green Real Estate Agent - Green and LEED Homes specialist

On my way back from a weekend trip to Marco Island with Giselle and the kids we decided to go by a rest stop off Tamiami Trail. We got off and and took a picture of this alligator just chilling out and floating on the water's edge. It was a beautiful a summer day. I decided to have Giselle take a picture of me with these cool and large Recycling Bins It is good to know South Florida is SLOWLY going Green. We are still way behind the rest of the country.

Last month Cris from Pro Energy Consultants performed an Energy Audit on this Miami Home. He did a survey of the home for any potential loss due to improper duct installation, AC vents, doors not properly secured, windows with used weatherstripping,poor insulation in ceiling and walls and much more. I was very impressed when he did his door blower test and sucted all the AC from the home and started to use a smoke pencil to check for leaks. Furthermore, he then took out a thermo-graph gun to perform a scan of the ceiling and walls to check for leaks and improper insulation. This was awesome and highly recommend that every homeowner do an energy audit specially on older homes here in Miami.
