Charlotte's Urban Realty Office Goes Green
Urban Realty has taken the office and gone GREEN! We are limiting our use of resources that are not green friendly. For example, all of our inner documents are stored electronically now thus saving room, space, and trees. Our Brokers simply logon to a website and get the form they need at their convenience. We are turning everything off unless it is in current use for office hours. We are recycling everything that Meck county will allow us and then some. We hope that as we continue to do this we will get more and more better at being GREEN minded and reduce our footprint on this planet Earth.
