Join us as we guide participants on how to use the MLS Green Features Guide to support the new MLSCO green fields.

This 3.5-hour training will introduce brokers to the guide and explain its essential role as a tool in assisting both brokers and appraisers to correctly identify green features, develop custom searches, and eliminate input errors and associated liability.
