Going Green

 

The SAND Group Realty - Going For Green

Operating a green business is good for the environment and helps conserve resources where possible.  To help save our Livable Forest called Kingwood and all the forests our there, our office uses the latest technologies where possible to help eliminate waste.

We encourage communications via email and always read messages to determine if its necessary to print them.  If it's not, then we don't. 

We reduce fax related paper waste by using efax services that allow us to transmit and receive documents electronically.

For our transactions, as long as all parties agree to electronic signatures, we utilize an electronic signature system for our clients to sign contracts and documents.

Of course, with legal docouments such as real estate purchase contracts, there are times that printing is required.  When necessary and allowable we print double-sided documents.

Environmentally firendly actions don't have to be large to have an impact.  Consistently reducing the amount of energy, water, and paper our business uses makes a big difference to the environment.  Lots of small things put together can be a big result!
