Are you prepared to meet the 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 accreditation course provides real estate professionals with a competitive edge in communicating features and benefits for green and energy efficient home opportunities in their market:

  • Recommend existing home upgrade options, incentives, and ROIs
  • Benefit your clients by providing timely Solar PV info
  • Market and explain green home certifications and energy labels
  • Gain resources for financing, appraising and insuring green homes
  • Develop marketing messages to clients with varying attitudes/needs
  • Walk away with expertise on smart homes, RMLS green fields, and so much more! 

Gain the knowledge to provide your clients with access to homes that provide a healthier living environment and greater energy, water, and resource efficiency. View learning objectives and more info here >>
