Is your Realtor® Green?

April 22nd, 2009 by Allison Jordan

Earth Day is inspiring Realtors® nationwide to obtain the Green Designation created by the National Association of REALTORS®.

The program is designed to help Realtors®:

  • Understand what makes a property green
  • Explain to clients and customers the cost benefits of green building features and practices
  • Distinguish between industry rating and classification systems
  • List and market green homes and buildings
  • Discuss the financial grants and incentives available to homeowners
  • Guide buyers in purchasing resource-efficient homes

To earn the Green Designation, Realtors® must complete 18 hours of coursework.  Realtors® attending the NAR mid-year conference in Washington, D.C., can register for the Green Designation courses.  For more information, visit NAR’s Green Designation website.
