The greening of the national real estate markets

It seems every week someone calls with a questions about greening the real estate market. I got a call about creating a course for Realtors to educate them about sustainable building practices. I find this all very exciting! I do feel it is important to have educated Realtors and appraisers. Fortunately lots of other people do too.

National Association of realtors has a Green designation

There is a new certification out there for realtors nationally through NAR. That is our parent organization. Now that NAR has made a designation for this I can't help but think the next step will be that more multiple listing stytems will encorporate green features.
