An Invitation to Weatherford Place
So we approach that time of year where tradition dictates that we might want to reflect on the year past and put some thought into where we want to go in the year to come.
I can honestly say that 2008 has been rewarding indeed. On January 1st I signed up for the course to become EcoBroker Certified and I completed the certification process in the spring. To have the opportunity to bring a passion that I’ve had on a personal level into my professional life has been a real gift in such a . . . shall we say “tumultuous climate”. But my biggest blessing along this path has been becoming the listing agent for Weatherford Place, A Solar Community of Net Zero Energy Homes in Roswell, GA. It is a very unique offering and I’m truly honored to be a part of it.
I would like to invite you - and your children - to come to visit me at Weatherford Place. It does not matter if you are in the market to buy a home. If you are, really great timing J If you are not, it does matter that you know that a place like this actually exists - that the technology is not only available and accessible, but affordable. Why? I can give you two very good reasons – and I believe one of these will appeal to you on some level.
(1) The TOTAL energy bill for the model from October 2007 to October 2008 was less than $150 for the entire year. Not per month . . . for the entire year.
(2) Kennesaw State University is writing curricula for the students in Georgia, for both K thru 12 and college level environmental sciences using the data provided by this LEED Platinum Applicant Neighborhood Development. In other words, curriculum for YOUR children.
#1 is a benefit we can all use. Who here thinks energy bills are going down anytime soon? Like maybe ever?
#2 represents an opportunity Georgia is very lucky to have. In fact, Weatherford Place is the only LEED ND Platinum Applicant in the United States. And it’s right here in Roswell, GA!!
Weatherford Place is open on Wednesdays from 1-5 pm, Sundays from 1-4 pm, and by appointment.
We are located less than ½ mile from Historic Roswell on Minhinette which runs between Woodstock and Crabapple. Put in the address of 1274 Minhinette, Roswell 30075 into your GPS. You can park there and walk across the street to the model.
The tour will take about 30 minutes – we’ve taken the majority of the tour and put it on MP3 players (kind of like at the museum) so that you can walk through in the comfort of your own company - and your kids will love this part too. There is tons of education in this 18 minute multimedia production. I’ll be there to point out neighborhood highlights and answer any questions you might have after or along the way.
So, come in from the cold for warm cider, cookies and conservation at the open hearth of Weatherford Place. Experience first hand the benefits a Green Lifestyle!
Please stay tuned to Mia’s Blog. I’ll continue to add to this invitation with education, technological features and benefits, special opportunities and, oh yeah . . . . did I mention that if you ARE in the market to buy a home there are ONLY 8 of these beautifully green, healthy and carefree homes? Better hurry!
