Did you know that all homebuyers are actually looking for green homes?

Do you know why?
Are you prepared to help them find or upgrade to a green home? 


Everyone wants a comfortable, secure, healthy, durable, efficient home. In fact, 81% of people who expect to buy a new home in the next two years say higher energy efficiency would cause them to choose one new home over another.*

What realtors need to know is...
  • What are the different ways homebuyers can find/create a green home?
  • Which of these homebuyer desires are most important to focus on? 
  • How can I differentiate myself in the market so homebuyers know I'm a green professional? 
This course will provide multiple opportunities for you to reflect on your approach to serving your clients and helping them find or upgrade to a 'green' home.

By taking this course, you will: 
  • Understand the importance of 'green' with today's homebuyers
  • Learn how to talk about energy and green considering the role emotions play in homebuying
  • Learn the current green trends in the housing market 
  • Understand the key identifiers and differences between an 'energy efficient' and a 'green' home
  • Match green features to different homebuyer expectations
  • Learn how to market a green home and yourself as a green professional
