Hi, I’m Ethan Fletcher, the first climate-focused real estate agent. I help clients find, evaluate, and buy climate resilient homes. For generations, buying a home was a financially safe investment. Today, the combination of high prices and climate-fueled extreme weather has made it a much riskier proposition.

When my family began looking for our house in 2022, we knew we needed one that could handle climate extremes but, like all home-buyers, we had no guidance and limited information. With no other option, I read voraciously to teach myself to assess the climate resilience of homes. I studied shifts in rainfall patterns due to climate change, reviewed the history and limitations of FEMA flood maps, compared topographical maps to modeled climate risk, learned why flooding is excluded from home insurance policies, and much more.

The climate resilience framework I developed helped us make a smart decision, and we now enjoy the peace of mind a climate resilient home provides. If you're looking for a realtor who can help you identify and buy a climate resilient home (or sell yours), I'd love to talk.
