As an EcoBroker who works at for a green brokerage in one of the loveliest places on the planet, it is likely not surprising that I am happily on the green-bandwagon.  Why wouldn’t I be interested in helping to preserve this wonderful planet and environment that we all call home…particularly when it yields places of such scenic beauty like Coastal Orange County? 

One of the best parts about being affiliated with Surterre Properties and the EcoBroker program is that I have the opportunity to help home buyers and sellers not only “green” their living situation, but more specifically, “green” their move.  I was recently featured on the Sundance Channel with one of the green moving vendors I’ve had a chance to meet through my green interests and wanted to share with you this video which showcases his service which is a great way to green your move (the video also gives you a little clip of me in full animation!).  The clip is about 3 minutes long:

Another great way to green your move is to hire a green moving company.  My clients and I have been very impressed with Go Green Moving.  They offer outstanding customer service at a competitive rate and run their trucks on bio-diesel fuel.  See how easy it is to go green during your move!
