Green Moves: Sustainable Properties in Australia
Posted in Movements by Kate Archdeacon on September 1st, 2010

In the past we (Green Renters) attempted to start our own listings service for environmentally friendly rental property and that didn’t really work…
Then we linked up with a US site, that didn’t really work either…
So imagine how happy we were when we came across a new Australian based service called ‘Green Moves’, who do exactly what you’ve all been asking for and much more! Green Moves not only list your sustainable property but also assess them (to current Australian standards) to create a reliable and consistent standard for listings across the site.
So if you’re a tenant looking for a new home, or a landlord looking to list your property to like minded tenants, then drop on by!
