Ann Arbor Real Estate Buyer Broker Receives Fighting Fiduciary Award

Jon Boyd, an exclusive buyer's broker helping real estate purchasers in Washtenaw County, received the Fighting Fiduciary Savings Award today for Helping home buyers save an average of $72,638.00 during the first quarter of 2009.

Ann Arbor, Michigan (PRWEB) July 18, 2009 -- Jon Boyd, an exclusive buyer's broker helping real estate purchasers in Washtenaw County, received the Fighting Fiduciary Savings Award today for Helping home buyers save an average of $72,638.00 during the first quarter of 2009.


"The Fighting Fiduciary Award was created to recognize exceptional work in helping home buyers save money. Jon had a great quarter for savings and we felt it was important to recognize that in contrast to all the negative news coverage about real estate. Along with the obvious savings benefit, he also made some home buyers very happy with his efforts." said Laura Degiovanni, a senior exclusive buyer agent for the company. "Jon's knowledge and experience really paid off for his buyers."


The transaction reportedly included a first time home buyer purchasing a condominium, a home buyer purchasing a larger Burns Park area home, a first time buyer purchasing an East Ann Arbor home, and a luxury home buyer purchasing on Ann Arbor's South side. Transaction parameters were very different in each case and that variety is one reason Boyd said he still enjoys the business of representing home buyers after nearly twenty years with that total focus.

The Home Buyer's Agent real estate company serves Ann Arbor Michigan and the surrounding areas including, Ypsilanti, Brighton, Belleville, Howell, Hartland, South Lyon, Novi, and Farmington Hills. They help a broad variety of real estate purchasers from first time condominium buyers to luxury home buyers, and they measure their success in dollars saved, not dollars sold.

"Receiving the Fighting Fiduciary award is a thrill because most of the larger real estate companies in our market no longer provide common law fiduciary services like we do. Most companies these days are limited to designated/dual agency. That seems to remove the teamwork that is critical in optimally serving a buyer." concluded Boyd.

The term "exclusive buyer agency" is defined by the National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents as: A company who only represents home buyers. The company never represents sellers and the company never lists property.


The Home Buyer's Agent of Ann Arbor is one of Michigan's largest buyer's real estate companies and is the oldest Exclusive Buyer's Agency in the state of Michigan. It has helped thousands of home buyers save millions of dollars on their home purchases. Since Exclusive Buyer Agents only represent home buyers and never sellers, these companies avoid the conflicts of interest of traditional real estate companies and offer home buyers 100% loyalty.

Wahoo Decks Offers Sustainable Solutions For Deck Boards, Deck Joists And Railing

Wahoo Decks, a leading manufacturer of aluminum decking products, has recently developed recyclable, sustainable options for deck boards, deck joists and deck railing. The products are manufactured using 45% recycled content from industrial and post-consumer aluminum scrap. Because of this recycled content, Wahoo Decks' products assist builders in achieving points toward LEED credits based on the standards set forth by the LEED Green Building Rating System within the categories of Recycled Content of Materials and Construction Waste Management. The premise of Wahoo Decks is to provide outdoor deck products that are ideally designed to maintain their structural integrity and appearance and are targeted to both the refurbishment of existing outdoor structures and new builds.

Gainesville, GA (PRWEB) July 17, 2009 -- Wahoo Decks, a leading manufacturer of aluminum decking products, has recently developed recyclable, sustainable options for deck boards, deck joists and deck railing allowing builders, contractors and homeowners to extend the sustainability of their homes to their outdoor living areas.


DryJoist draining

Aluminum is fully recyclable and it will last a lot longer than pressure-treated lumber typically used in deck construction
The products, AridDek aluminum decking, DryJoist aluminum deck joists and Wahoo Rail aluminum railing are all manufactured using 45% recycled content from industrial and post-consumer aluminum scrap. Because of this recycled content, Wahoo Decks' products assist builders in achieving points toward LEED credits based on the standards set forth by the LEED Green Building Rating System within the categories of Recycled Content of Materials and Construction Waste Management.


"Aluminum is fully recyclable and it will last a lot longer than pressure-treated lumber typically used in deck construction," said Jon Bailey, Vice President of Wahoo Decks. "The benefits of aluminum go beyond it being recyclable. Aluminum is naturally resistant to rot, decay, warping, insects and fire, meaning no harmful chemicals need to be added to the material to increase the structural integrity and boost the longevity of the product."


The premise of Wahoo Decks is to provide outdoor deck products that are ideally designed to maintain their structural integrity and appearance and are targeted to both the refurbishment of existing outdoor structures and new builds. The most popular product lines, AridDek and DryJoist, are products to create a dry area below an outdoor deck, making the area suitable for an enclosed living area. Each of the products have unique benefits but both share a common feature that has fueled their popularity - they are both simple, one-step processes that can be quickly installed by a contractor or homeowner with standard tools and are 100% effective.


About AridDek:
AridDek is a waterproof aluminum deck board with a tongue-in-groove design that creates a beautiful, low-maintenance deck surface while providing the added bonus of an integrated gutter system for a dry, usable space below the deck. The safe, non-skid textured surface naturally stays cooler to the touch than traditional decking planks and can also be used as boat dock decking.


About DryJoist:
DryJoist is the first and only structural deck drainage system. When assembled, DryJoist creates a finished ceiling, a waterproof dry space below and the structure of the deck all in one system. Made of marine-grade, precision-extruded aluminum, the system is strong enough to replace the need for conventional wood joists and is impervious to rot, insects, mildew and fire. Deck boards can be fastened to the system in any direction without the need for extra blocking, making it easier to create the custom deck surfaces and design options that today's outdoor living enthusiasts expect. DryJoist by Wahoo Decks Intro Video


About Wahoo Rail:
Complementing a deck's overall appearance or any outdoor landscape, Wahoo Rail is a deck rail system that is not only maintenance free but is long-lasting and incredibly stable. Wahoo Deck Rails are available in White, Mocha and Antique Bronze. Not only quick and easy to install, the aluminum railing will keep its enduring strength for ages. Available in 36" & 42" heights, Wahoo Rail is one of the most durable rails in the market and is well suited for commercial applications as well as residential.


About Wahoo Decks:
Headquartered in Gainesville, Georgia, Wahoo Decks is a leading manufacturer of aluminum deck drainage systems. Wahoo products have been engineered to be easier to install, have more flexibility in design options, and to resist natural elements better than other traditional deck drainage systems. In addition to deck drainage systems, Wahoo Decks also offers a complete line of aluminum railing. Additional information about Wahoo Decks can be found on WahooDecks.com.

Edward Mazria Receives the 2009 Hanley Award for Vision and Leadership in Sustainable Housing

The Hanley Foundation to present first annual Hanley Award and $50,000 grant to a pioneering architect, author, educator and visionary.


Edward Mazria has had a powerful impact on sustainable housing for more than 35 years

Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) July 17, 2009 --Santa Fe, N.M., architect and champion of building energy efficiency Edward Mazria, AIA was named this year's winner of The Hanley Award for Vision and Leadership in Sustainable Housing. Mazria was selected from among 18 distinguished nominees by a panel of judges that comprised Michael J. Hanley, president of The Hanley Foundation; Frank Anton, CEO of Hanley Wood; Steven Winter, FAIA, president of Steven Winter Associates; Allison Ewing, AIA, principal of Hays + Ewing Design Studio; and Sarah Susanka, FAIA, principal of Susanka Studios.
News Image
Mazria will receive the award and its $50,000 grant at The USGBC Hanley Award Dinner ceremony November 12 during USGBC's Greenbuild International Conference and Expo in Phoenix.


The judges had their work cut out for them as all 18 of the nominees submitted for the award by the nominating committee have made significant contributions to advancing sustainability in the industry--whether through the homes they've designed and built, their work in research and development, or their efforts to share information through writings and educational outreach.


Mazria's career and contributions span all of these. From his early award-winning architectural work in the 1970s laying the foundation for siting, energy efficiency, and passive solar design to his groundbreaking The Passive Solar Energy Book published in 1979, the concepts, details, and principles developed by Mazria are unmistakable in today's modern high-performance homes.


Over the years, Mazria's architectural work has attracted international attention and his outreach has grown as well. He's taught architecture at a number of institutions, including the University of New Mexico, the University of Colorado, UCLA, and the University of Oregon.


Throughout his career, he's never lost sight of his decades-long mission to improve the environmental performance of our buildings through increased environmental awareness and innovations in design and construction.


It is this crucial concern and critical need that motivated Mazria to suspend his architectural practice in 2002 and form Architecture 2030 (architecture2030.org), a non-profit environmental research and education organization based in Santa Fe. Mazria's research through Architecture 2030 is responsible for placing the building sector at the center of the global warming dialogue. Having shown conclusively that buildings are responsible for half of all U.S. energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, Mazria now focuses on providing well-researched solutions wherein buildings move from being a major contributor to climate change to being a key means to addressing climate change and limiting its impacts.


The organization gets its name from its goal--leading the building sector to reach net-zero carbon emissions by the year 2030--and Mazria has laid out a timeline for measuring progress that has been adopted within a wide range of federal and state legislations, and among industry and environmental circles as well.


"Edward Mazria has had a powerful impact on sustainable housing for more than 35 years," said Michael J. Hanley, president of The Hanley Foundation and creator of The Hanley Award. "He has influenced innovative advances in design and technology through his creative architecture, energetic teaching and groundbreaking writing. His current mission with Architecture 2030 brings his vision and leadership to a new level. We are thrilled to name Edward Mazria as the first recipient of The Hanley Award."
