Green Home Advisor – a must visit!
Your must visit website this week is: www.greenhomeadvisor.org
Targeted toward Seattle, Green Home Advisor is your source for information about home improvements that save energy, reduce your home’s carbon footprint and save you money on your energy bills. But, it is a great resource no matter where you live.
The website is very easy to use, allowing you to search by room, or click on a large navigation dot. Green Home Advisor also has a section on deals, rebates and incentives to help homeowners save money. You can also request an energy audit for your Seattle home.

Prime Time To List Your Home
The Northwest Multiple Listing Service announced its 2011 year end statistics. There is good news: a positive trend has started for home sales in King County. For two months in a row, during 2011, home sales were up. We are starting to see a healthy marketplace emerge as the inventory level drops. Right now is the prime time to list a home before the housing inventory increases. Take Care.

Happy Holiday’s everyone!
I wanted to send a reminder that tolling starts on the 520 bridge the 29th of December. If you haven’t ordered your Good To Go pass and are interested, all the information you need is at:

The pass looks like the least expensive way to go.
Safe travels to all!
