When it is time to buy, sell, build or update your home, you need a realty company that will go above and beyond to make sure you get exactly what you want. Leap Realty is that company. “Leap Realty is a full-service residential real estate company with an energy-efficient and healthy living focus,” says Owner Sarah Olson. “We are a women- owned and independent firm.”

Today’s home buyers are nothing, if not savvy. They are looking for the best deal and modern updates that will keep the value of their property up and the costs down. For the seller, that means differentiating the home from the competitors. “Our agents are trained and educated in recognizing energy-efficient and green features found in all homes,” said Olson. “While many of our clients have made these upgrades, some of our sellers feel as though they have nothing to differentiate their homes in the market place. However, common features such as ceiling fans, low-flow fixtures, programmable thermostats, new windows, direct venting of the microwave and even organic gardening are a few of the features that either conserve, sustain or improve the quality of ownership.” Leap Realty’s agents are all certified EcoBrokers and are trained and experienced in recognizing features that save money and provide a healthier living environment.

For those looking to build, Leap Realty can help there as well. Even if you already own a lot, they can facilitate in the design, builder selection and finishes. “We have a green builder list whom we have worked with and who are the leaders in Triad green building,” said Olson. “For those that may have heard of green homes, but do not know what it means per se, we explain the techniques as well as the cost in easy-to- understand terms.” Once the home is underway, Leap Realty will continue to watch the on-site progress be a liaison between client and builder, and keep a
photo journal.
