Description
State Requirements

Whether you're representing a seller who's listing a high-efficiency home or working with a buyer to find one, it's important to be able to recognize a home's green features and the value they bring to the property. This means understanding the benefit of big-ticket green items such as solar panels, wind turbines, geothermal heating and cooling systems, solar water heaters, or even energy-efficient windows, as well as knowing the value in quick-and-easy updates like low-flow faucets, LED lighting, and smart thermostats. It also means knowing the difference between HERS and HES and SEER and LEED. Of course, greening up a home isn't cheap. Letting your clients know about available federal and state programs and incentives is another way you can ensure your clients are getting the best service around.

Course highlights include:

  • An overview of the green home movement
  • Green terminology, certifications, and ratings
  • A review of energy-efficient upgrades, including solar panels, wind turbines, geothermal heating and cooling systems, solar water heaters, and more
  • Tips for assisting green homebuyers and sellers
  • A review of the FHA's Energy Efficient Mortgage and the 203(k) Rehabilitation Mortgage programs
  • Qualifications for the DOE's Weatherization Assistance Program
  • Interactive activities and scenarios to seal in the new information and frame it in everyday context
