Inspiration on Green Mountain, A Huntsville Alabama Green Development
Category: Life
Located in Southeast Huntsville on Green Mountain, Inspiration on Green Mountain will be Huntsville’s first NAHB (National Association of Home Builders) certified Green Development. The project will have grand mountain views and feature some of the last remaining bluff views of the valley below.
Simply put, we will blend the best of yesterday’s traditions with the needs of today’s lifestyles What is Green? This is the biggest question when people first hear of it. Green is really environmentally friendly homes with all aspects of the grounds, construction methods, features and amenities designed to be environmentally healthier. Green development methods reduce the impact that construction has on an area. These practices go beyond average conservation efforts and take into consideration nature with attempting to leave many of the natural resources in place. Think of it as trying to form a house to its environment instead of just scraping and leveling the land to make it easier for construction. You can help the environment, reduce your power bills, use environmentally safe materials, reduce the impact on the building site, and leave a healthier place for your family. A point made by Bob Spence of Love Development.
Love Development of Alabama will be carefully selecting architects, builders and contractors who understand and share this vision. There are doom and gloomers out there who go to far about the environment. What about sensibility for our environment? This country was built by the preceding generations who wanted to make it better for our generation. This is the philosophy of the developer and this development will be built by those who want to improve the area for those to come.
"Simply put, we will blend the best of yesterday’s traditions with the needs of today’s lifestyles", stated Spence. This community will offer all the features to fit your needs.. In phase one of the project there will be approximately thirty three home sites released. Construction is slated to begin in February 2008. Inspiration on Green Mountain will be one of Huntsville Alabama Real Estate premier neighborhoods. It will feature builders and architects who have experience in The Ledge’s and Providence.

What Makes Huntsville Special
Today, I was assisting a couple from Florida who want to escape the taxes and insurance. They are looking to retire in the next few years and have chosen Huntsville as their new home.
We were discussing what makes Huntsville such a good place to live. Here is what they said.
1) A clean city. Huntsville does have some old run down buildings and a few spots needing some attention, but overall it is really clean.
2) Nature: Huntsville and the surrounding areas are just so natural. Clean clear air is important to the quality of life.
3) Family Friendly: The family is still at the heart of this area. The family is very important to our community.
4) Churches: There are churches everywhere. People here aspire to be ethical and moral.
5) Friendly and helpful: While we were looking at homes yesterday we had someone stop on the road and ask if we were loat. Assisting others and being hospitable is still part of the fabric of our community.
6) Low taxes: We are not being beat to death with taxes and insurance as other distressed areas of the country.
7) Huntsville Alabama Real Estate: Huntsville Homes are still affordable.

Why I chose the career of real estate
Several clients have asked me why I got into real estate. This may sound a little sappy but I first got into it to provide a better living for my family. I was going to change careers but where did I want to be. I have a genuine desire to help people. I have worked in sales and marketing positions in the past. After a lot of heartfelt prayer and consideration real estate was the best place to put my passion for people and my past experience. It has been a very rewarding move for me. I get to assist in the needs of others and provide for my family at the same time. For me it has been the best move I have ever taken. I have hired in as a new employee with other companies but I needed to make more of a difference. In positions in the the past I always felt like a number. My position was only there to assist in making profit for a shareholder. This always left me with a hollow feeling. I have certainly learned over the years it isn't about how many zeros are on the check. I like to get paid for working but I want to make a true differnce. In real estate I can build a business and leave a legacy for my children. I can make a difference for the people I come in contact with. That is why I went into real estate. I can really see myself making a differnce in my community. It isn't about making profit in Huntsville Alabama.
