There was a huge turn out at this years annual NAR (National Association of Realtors) Expo , an estimated 30,000 attendees and a heck of lot of excitement. A couple of classes were presented discussing green homes and why Realtors should promote green in a bigger way. Even Eco-Broker was there talking about educating Realtors in green building and how to properly promote green technologies in homes and developments.
With over 760 exhibitors, this was a huge convention regardless of the topic. There was even a section devoted to 2nd homes and vacation projects in other countries. Costa Rica is one progressive country that has been promoting green development by offering financial incentives for energy efficient and sustainable building practices.
Sadly though, there seemed to be a lack of eco-friendly projects overall. Fortunately, Listed Green was exhibiting, showing everyone the increasing demand for energy efficient, sustainable developments worldwide in a new internet platform exclusively for only these type of properties.
Although it seems that there was a lack of green talk overall, since Listed Green and Eco-broker were the only "green" exhibitors at this event, there was some like-minded folks that walked by the booth to show their appreciation for seeing new green ideas.
With this kind of support, there definitely is a increasing movement toward green building.
Listed Green looks forward to being a part of the 2008 Expo in Orlando, Florida. I'm sure there will be an increase of green projects in 2008 and beyond and we hope to see everyone in Orlando Florida too.
