Environ buys older, often distressed homes and re-develops them using energy saving and environmentally responsible materials and technologies. While our base business model is to buy, improve and hold, each acquisition is assessed and may be resold or the contract to buy assigned to one of our partnering investors. See Our Projects Here.

WE BUY HOUSES:

Simple Straight Forward Buying Program.

Many houses or circumstances are not good candidates for conventional listing and selling with a real estate agent. If you need to sell your house now you can go right to a buyer., We may even be able to offer a market rate. Learn more here.

Advocacy for the Environment.

advocacy-for-environmentWho on your team represents your passion to make your project as integrated, green and visionary as possible? Who on your team pushes the envelope to make your facility as aligned with the environment as possible?  Who understands the standards, pitfalls, myths and promise of designing and building for sustainability?  Who will help you choose where to set the bar, realistically and early, in the project process, and then hold your team to it?  Who can help guide your team into the realm of possibilities, knows when to compromise, and when to hold to a vision?

If you are not vigilant in conceiving and building a genuinely green project, you can only hope that your architect and engineers can deliver. During the technical challenges of designing, engineering and building a project, the values of sustainability are often left at the wayside.  green-home-guidebookWithout informed guidance from you, the Owner, it is a rare A/E and construction team that can deliver all the promises of a green building.
