Green Leaf Realty, LLC is a full service real estate brokerage for both green and traditional properties servicing all areas throughout the Phoenix area.  Green Leaf Realty is proud to be one of the first GREEN real estate agencies in Phoenix focused at helping home buyers find better green options in real estate than what is currently being presented, even with the typical block or wood-framed housing in Arizona and aimed at helping sellers market their homes and maximize their equity with an advantage of marketing green in an ever competitive real estate market.

Green Leaf agents have the skills and experience of the traditional real estate agents with the expertise in green.

We recognize that green is the new focus in the real estate market. There is a variety of reasons to go green, but most come back to supply and demand. We have a limited amount of resources available and more and more people using them up. If we want our future generations to enjoy the same standard of living we've experienced, we need to take action.

Green building is a great place to start, as buildings consume 14% of potable water, 40% of raw materials, and 39% of energy in the United States alone (according to the US Green Building Council). That's 15 trillion gallons of water and 3 billion tons of raw materials each year! If that's not enough to convince you, here are some other reasons to go green:

Green For The Environment

Want to make the world a better place? Implementing green practices into your home or office can help reduce waste, conserve natural resources, improve both air and water quality, and protect ecosystems and biodiversity.

Green For The Savings

Want to make your dollar go further? Green systems and materials reduce energy consumption, which in turn reduce your energy bills. They also increase asset value and profits and decrease marketing time; making your dollar go further for longer.

Green For Your Health

Want to live healthier? Green building isn't just good for the environment; it's also good for YOU. Sustainable design and technology enhance a resident's overall quality of life by improving air and water quality and reducing noise pollution. According to a 2006 study by the Center of the Built Environment, University of California, green office buildings improve productivity and employee satisfaction in the workplace.

Being a green real estate company, we are not ignoring the traditional aspects of real estate...we still list and sell homes. The difference, however, is that we have undergone additional training, course work and experiences to give us a competitive edge over the traditional agents, including certifications from EcoBroker, National Association of Realtors, and the Green Resource Council. Green Leaf Realty is also active participants in local and national green organizations such as the Arizona Green Chamber of Commerce and the US Green Building Council.
