I am excited to announce the changes here and I hope that everyone enjoys it.  I would like to take a minute to go over some of the additions to the site!

Probably the biggest change is that I have invited several Experts from around the City to join me to share their expertise you.

• I personally work with Home Buyers and Sellers to buy and sell homes.  The advantage of a Certified EcoBroker is that I can help to guide you to noticing the ‘greener’ features in your home to get ready to sell, and I work with Buyers that are wanting various shades of green.  Knowing the inventory around town, it helps to make that happen.  I will be writing about the Trials, Tribulations and Joys of buying and selling Green.
• Michael Strong with GreenHaus Builders and Brothers Strong is joining the site for the expertise on Building, Remodeling and other True Green Aspects of homes, as well LEED Cerification information.
• Ralph Parrott with Alternative Power Solutions is joining the site as our Renewable Energy Guru!  He will write and tell us about up to date information and trends on Solar Products and how to prepare your for optimum efficiency.
• Angelique Grado with Green Builders Source has joined us to keep us up to date on Products that go in to Green Homes or Products that can be used to Retrofit homes to be Green.
• Kathleen Reardon with RD Architecture will be writing on how to Design a Home to Build or Remodel as Green.  It really does start on the Paper that it is drawn on with the whole systems approach.

I am so happy to have all of these Professionals here.

Another change that you will notice across the Top is Ask The Expert.  It was suggested that there be an opportunity for Readers to be able to email questions that they may have regarding anything Green.  I have a team of Experts around town that have agreed to share their Knowledge with YOU.  Have a Question?  Just submit it through the Ask The Expert section.  Literally, anything green related.

Green Service Providers-  If you are a regular visitor to the site, you know that the list has grown to tremendous lengths over the past year.  The new link above has sorted it out by section to make it easier to find what you are looking for.  Just update your Bookmark to the Page and you are good to go.

Local Green Events-  This page has a Calendar on it to keep you posted on Green Events in or around Houston.  Check it often.  My green home tours will be on there, open houses, expo’s, Home Shows, you name it.

Subscribe- To the right you now have options to subscribe to the site by Text, Email, or RSS Feed if you need to feed your reader.  If you were a subscriber on the old site, you will need to update it.  Sorry for any inconvenience.

Search-  The search bar has been moved to the Top Right corner for convenience if you are in a Hurry.

Items that are still coming- Although I do have some surprises lurking around behind the scenes, you can look forward to hearing about Special Offers for Turning Houston Green Readers and my clients, Green Homes-this page is under construction but will have Featured Green Homes on it, and more!

Subscribe for updates so you don’t miss anything.

Last but not least.  The Contact Us button at the top has made it easier to send us an email.  Just fill out the form the best you can and we will get back to you promptly.  Make sure you put in there who you are contacting and information on how to contact you.  Looking to buy, sell, build, install solar, design..you name it.  That is what we are here for.  Feel free to call or email anytime.
