Live Virtual GREEN Designation Course
NAR's newly updated GREEN Designation Course: People, Property, Planet, Prosperity covers the distinguishing characteristics that make a home high performance. The course looks at why consumer demand for these homes is increasing and how both the homes and consumer expectations impact the market.
The course prepares real estate professionals to provide advice and sources of information to help homeowners improve the resource efficiency of their homes from low-cost fixes and DIY projects to retrofitting and replacing systems to big budget remodeling projects. It also looks at constructing a new, resource-efficient home and the value that real estate professionals can bring to the design and build team. Students will then focus on applying their knowledge of resource-efficient, smart, and certified homes and adapting their core real estate skills to build business success in the niche market for resource-efficient homes.
