President of REA earns LEED Green Associate

Jeff Bogard, President of REA Homes has joined a small handful of highly select homebuilders by completing all work necessary and successfully completing the exam to become a fully credentialed LEED Green Associate. LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most.

The LEED Green Associate professional, through study, testing, and on-the-job LEED project experience building "green" homes, has demonstrated a thorough knowledge of green building. Green building can simply be translated to mean superior performing homes that are built with a focus on better energy efficiency, better indoor air quality, and better overall comfort for its inhabitants. These types of homes with this type of focus result in true luxury for R.E.A. Homes clients—it is what we call High Performance Luxury Homes. R.E.A. homes are not only magnificent to look at, but to live in as well.

This achievement distinguishes Jeff apart from most builders in this entire region.
