Welcome to the Sustainable Realty Group website. This is the first website in South Florida with a mission to save you money, time and improve your quality of life through sustainable living.
Led by Architect & Realtor Carlos Ruiz de Quevedo, the Sustainable Realty Group at EWM Realtors, Inc. connects home buyers with sustainable properties in sustainable neighborhoods in Greater Miami. It also educates consumers about the benefits of sustainable living and identifies for architects, builders and developers a market that is being underserved. The Sustainable Realty Group can also help current owners of houses and Miami condos who want to make their Miami homes more sustainable and more marketable to this growing market.
According to the US Commerce Department's Census Bureau, a college graduate will earn about $2.1 million over their adult life. According to American Automobile Association (AAA), a midsize sedan costs over $8,000 a year to own and operate -- over the lifespan of a 30 year mortgage that is over $240,000. If you could save $150/month in electricity you would save over $50,000 in 30 years. If you applied that savings to paying down your mortgage you could save another $60,000 in interest payments… These three items alone represent over $350,000 or over 16% of a college graduate’s lifetime earnings. If savings like these encourage you to change to a sustainable lifestyle, then you will want to talk to us.
This website is going to be a work in progress and will continue to change and add information that will help you save money, make your Miami homes more desirable and help you improve quality of life. The blogs will not only provide you periodic information about the local Miami real estate market, but also information about improving the efficiency of your South Florida home. While connecting you to architects, engineers, builders and others who can help make homes and condos in MIami more sustainable.
