Homeowners Guide to Going Green
All across the world, homeowners are going green. As with any initiative, going green can range from small simple steps to full house retrofit. There are many benefits of greening up your living space, including improving the indoor air quality, saving energy, reducing waste, and saving money on energy bills.
When the whole green concept was first introduced many thought it was just a trend, but the research is out and going green is not only healthy but can quantifiably beneficial. With energy bills on the increase going green can put some green back into your pocket- a trend that everyone should strive to achieve.
So how can going green save you money? Many green products are designed to be sustainable. While in some case these products could be initially more expensive they will save money in the long run. In addition, these green additions could make your home much more valuable in the eyes of potential buyers- possibly giving you as a seller a serious market advantage.
According to the National Association of REALTORS® green housing trends are on the rise and a recent poll shows 8 out of 10 home buyers consider energy efficiency of major importance.
Below are links to some simple and cost effective ways to get you well on your way to going green:

Knoxville, TN has had the tendency to attract lots of visitors and tourists who flock to the area to enjoy the magnificent scenery and visit the multitude of area parks including the Great Smoky Mountains- the most visited National Park in the country.
While the Great Smoky Mountains are great and have a lot to offer sometimes I don't feel like battling all the tourists trying to get up there. Sometimes, I just get the urge to throw the kids in the car and enjoy the great outdoors instead of fighting through traffic.
Ijams Nature Center located in South Knoxville is a great place to visit.
Inside the visitors center you will find a nature center devoted to education- especially conservation and recycling, fun and interactive nature displays, and even a live animal collection.
The building is built with sustainability in mind and even the bathrooms are environmentally friendly.
Whether you are looking for just a short nature walk or a day of hiking, you can find it at Ijams Nature Center- the trails are well maintained and it is a great place to get your minds off the stresses of everyday life.

About Keller Williams Realty Team McIn-Kowksi- Knoxville's Green Team
Our names are Christine McInerney and Jennifer Halinkowski. We are the Keller Williams Realty Knoxville real estate team of McIn-Kowski. Many people have a negative connotation when they think of Real Estate agents. We offer a fresh and energic perspective and work hard for our clients. We do not drive fancy cars and we do not use slick talking tactics to belittle and confuse our clients. We DO NOT have 30 years of experience behind us, meaning that we have not picked up bad habits and use old, worn out sales techniques. We are modern, focused, highly educated, intelligent and down to earth. Best of all when you enlist Team McIn-Kowski you get TWO full time REALTORS(R) catering to ALL of your Real Estate needs!!
We offer free Buyer agent services and are Knoxville Relocation Specialists. If you have a question about the Knoxville area contact us and if we do not personally know the answer we can get you in contact with sources that do. Call us to get started with your home search: 865-237-5289.
If you need to sell your house, definately interview us. We commit ourselves to diligent research to get our clients homes in front of the most buyers possible. By the way, these buyers are not in newspapers and home magazines. If you are considering hiring a family member or friend without interviewing them for the job because you want to "do them a favor" you may be making a huge financial mistake. To us, a seller should go with the most qualified agent they see fit to get their house sold, even if it means hurting a loved one's feelings. This is probably your largest financial investment and you can't afford to put it in the hands of someone who will simply throw a sign in the yard and put your house on the MLS.
We will offer you a menu of services so that you can build your own plan! We offer an unconditional listing agreement that you can cancel at anytime with no fees to you. We only get paid when you get paid. At closing.
We promise to talk to you personally during the listing period at least once a week with updates. We also promise to prepare a new market analysis and meet with you to talk about recent sales and closings every 4-5 weeks. We promise to answer our phone when you call or return your call within 30 minutes Mon-Sun 8am-8pm. Try it! Christine 865-237-5289 or Jennifer 865-621-3658

Our hats are off to Jennifer Halinowski for making our home buying a joyful reality.
