Tiffany Munsey: September 2012

The Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty team had the pleasure of visiting Spider Agile Technology today for a presentation on our future presence in Kelowna. We have many exciting things to look forward to including our website, social media presence and our office redesign. The thing that got our REALTORS® most excited was the new and improved plan of the Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty office located at 1470 Harvey Ave in Kelowna BC.

Our inspiring leaders have partnered with Spider Agile Technology to redo, revamp and re-inspire our office. Out with the old and in with the new way to construct commercial and residential building technologies! “The old way of wiring buildings just doesn’t suit the 21^st century: Environmentally, economically or technologically. It is too slow and too wasteful. Spider offers you a chance to turn your power infrastructure into an environmentally sustainable business strategy. Turning a cost of doing business into an asset."- Spider Agile Technology

While our office is taking a macro approach to changing the way we do we approach the world of real estate and our business, every single one of us can take small steps to improve our own footprint and it does not have to be as expensive as you think.

Here are 10 smart and simple things you can do under $100 from Houselogic.com

1. Seal switches and outlets with insulating foam gaskets.

2. Trim grocery bills with a vegetable garden.

3. Seal out drafts with thermally lined drapes.

4. Stop air leaks with weather stripping.

5. Trim energy use with a programmable thermostat.

6. Capture free water with a rain barrel.

7. Get free fertilizer from a compost bin.

8. Save water with a dual-flush toilet converter.

9. Outsmart energy loss with a smart power strip.

10. Cool down with a ceiling fan.

I am very excited to be a part of a larger vision and the awesome team at Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty! I cant wait to see what our office is going to look like and how we can inspire others to make simple changes in their lives that benefit the world! Realtors may not be super heros but maybe we can help inspire a global shift to a green future....and help sell a couple houses along the way!

Here is a sneak peak of the concept design for our new office:

Meeting rooms with smart boards and TV's.
