A Holistic Approach to Home Buying


By Jennifer Gates, Legend Realty

Big Oad Tree


My name is Jennifer Gates. I have a passion for healthy living. This involves everything from clean food choices to positive mental and physical wellbeing to a healthy home. I offer specialized information to those clients who are interested in buying a healthy home. This may involve pinpointing areas that do not have 5G towers or large electrical grids to reducing the risks of mold and water damage.

You may ask, why is a healthy home important? I believe a healthy environment is the key to healthy living. I had two children who had life-long auto immune diseases. My middle son had Ulcerative Colitis at the age of two. With a proven anti-inflammatory and allergy free diet, he was UC free in just a few years. He is now 18 years old and has been healed for over 14 years. My youngest son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes January of 2022. After a few weeks of insulin injections and combined with a healthy diet, chiropractic care, supplements and prayer, his A1C dropped down to 5.0 within one year. He has been insulin free ever since. I believe both of my sons would have not been healed without the healthy choices we have made. This includes a healthy home.

With all the craziness going on in the world, many home buyers are now starting to look for a safe, healthy and organic place to live. I believe the next wellness movement is healthy home buying. Not only is it beneficial to your health, but it is also a great investment when you are ready to sell. This has led to emergent of a holistic minded realtor. As a realtor for Legend Realty, I can help you narrow down your search for that ideal healthy home.

If you are concerned with 5G, powerlines, smart meters, dirty electricity, mold, high radon, nuclear sites and pesticide exposure from nearby agricultural lands then let me guide you through some of Huntsville’s environmentally friendly and diverse areas, homesteads, neighborhoods and rural places to live. I can also help you find some of the more important and safe features to consider when buying a home.

Ranch Style Home


For some people, the chance to purchase a home, in the perfect location, with all the right amenities is a lifelong dream, but for others, it could be a chore and hardship they wish not to endeavour. Regardless of which camp you are in, I can help reduce your burdens and more quickly find exactly what you desire in a healthy home.

I have a full range of tools and meters to help red flag some of the unhealthy parts of the home, but I do highly recommend using a license professional to find any safety issues. Below are some of my personal meters and home measuring tools that are especially helpful with older homes. Call me to get my full list of mold testing companies, non-toxic pest control, radon testing/mitigation, clean water and HVAC unit inspectors.

Safe Home Measuring Tools


I work hard with families that best suits their concerns. Whether it is a healthier home or remote location or somewhere in the middle, I can tailor specifically what you’re looking for in a home. You can call me any time of the day. I am always available to help and understand the importance of a quick and thorough response.
