Michael Eachus <\/strong>holds a BFA degree from the California College of the Arts with a double major in painting and ceramics, graduating with high distinction in painting and distinction in ceramics. His background in the arts exposed Michael to various skills and disciplines leading to appraising. As an art student, Michael visited and worked at several venues, including production studios of furniture design, textiles, and glass blowing. At a young age, Michael had already developed a keen eye for detail, recognizing quality and value.<\/p>\nThe various jobs held by Michael over the years during and following college provided specific skills that eventually opened doors to appraising. From cataloging inventory in a warehouse to assisting in the building of custom travelling trade show booths, Michael has continually assessed his skill base, targeting his strongest assets and then using these skills to build on one another as stepping stones to a career in residential real estate appraisal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Michael Eachus has taken several Green Building courses through reputable educators and is continually updating his knowledge base to keep up to date with this new and changing industry. Green Building can\u00a0employ construction techniques that surpass the minimum building code requirements and ensure energy savings from the start of the construction process through the life-span of the structure. Few real estate professionals realize the importance of Green Building technology in the real estate market; home owners understand month-to-month savings can add up over the lifetime of ownership, possibly off-setting a slightly higher initial investment of a Green Built home. Properly constructed Green Built homes offer more comfortable living environments, heating and cooling\u00a0more evenly\u00a0while protecting your home from the\u00a0natural elements. Energy conservation is often\u00a0an important aspect through the perspective of a buyer and, in some cases, can be\u00a0a driving factor\u00a0when deciding on a home purchase. As energy costs increase, the desire to\u00a0conserve energy\u00a0seems to become\u00a0more important.<\/p>\n
