Are you prepared to meet this increasing demand for healthy, quality, efficient homes?

Did you know that 45% of all new homes built in Portland (and 57% in Beaverton) are certified green and/or have received an energy label? A 2014 nationwide study found that 3 out of 4 homebuyers said they would be willing to pay more for a home that's certified to standards that are higher than ENERGY STAR. 

The Earth Advantage Broker (formerly S.T.A.R.) accreditation course provides real estate professionals with a competitive edge in communicating the benefits of green home features in their market.  View learning objectives and more info here >>
