[George J. Nesbitt]

     I have seen one Realtor locally that is an Ecobroker, and I have
visited their website. But I don't know what an Ecobroker is yet. Are
they promoting the EEM's (Energy Efficient Mortgage's), green building
programs, or what? I do know that there is effort here in California to
develop a Green Mortgage, it will be tied to GreenPoints, and it may or
may not work with other green building programs too. LEED for homes is
working with Fanie Mae. And RESNET (www.resnet.org) which was created
because of the EEM is working to change the program so that is more
valuable and used more. People are working to get GreenPoints in the
Multiple Listing Service. The energy savings are what justifies
mortgage, not the other green items.
