Prudential Carolinas Realty sales associates from the Durham and Chapel Hill offices gathered for a Green Building Seminar on May 6, 2008 at Winmore, Carrboro’s first green-built, mixed-use village of single family homes, townhomes, and unique live/work environments.
“Home values increase by roughly $20.00 for every $1.00 in annual energy savings, and green materials can up the value even more,” Tracey continues, quoting David Bach, author of Go Green, Live Rich. “Going green truly is an investment in our future.”
Seminar attendees said they found the program educational, especially in terms of how green building adds value for customers. “The seminar was very informative,” says Christine Danko, real estate broker with Prudential Carolinas Realty in Durham. “It taught me that there are lots of different levels of being green, and that green building is about a whole system, not unrelated parts. What I learned in the program will be very helpful as I interact with clients.”
For more information about the Winmore neighborhood, please contact Carole Selkirk, Alma Douglas Gaudette, and Lia Williams of Prudential Carolinas Realty at 919.968.4496 or visit www.winmoreneighborhod.com.
