When choosing a real estate agent, you are looking for a person who fits your personality as well as one who is qualified to handle the complicated transactions of a property sale. When you want to buy a green home, you have added another card to the game.

It helps immensely to find an agent who has a respect for energy-efficiency and the environment. The ideal agent would also be at least somewhat cognizant of what makes a home green.

See how each agent reacts to the following statements or questions:

What do you know about renovating property to be green and energy-efficient?

Before I look at a property, I would like to see 12 months of utility bills for that home.

I would like to have all south and west windows shaded by trees or porches.

Do you have any homes offering rain water harvesting?

I want to have the property to pass an energy inspection before I close.
