The July 4th deadline for Real Estate Agents to register for the Green Continuing Education and Resource Discounts is quickly closing in as the summer heats up. On Memorial Day 2010, GREENandSAVE’s Eco Academy, announced the launch of an unprecedented $1 million Energy Service Scholarship Program (ESSP) to help create green job opportunities and stay ahead of the expanding demand for trained green building and energy specialists.
Since home owners are increasingly making energy saving improvements to their homes, Real Estate Agents need to be ‘tuned in’ to the new technologies and tactics that they will encounter over the course of representing a client that is looking to either buy or sell a home. This program is designed to help Real Estate Agents accomplish four key business objectives: 1) Present themselves to a wider audience of home owners in their area. 2) Attract the right buyers as the means to generate the best offering prices. 3) Activate their client list. 4) Communicate better with clients to stay relevant and ‘top-of-mind’. The program includes key ‘Green’ factors and data, plus directory listings, customizable marketing materials and means to sell homes faster. Real Estate Agents learn how to find and promote what may already be energy efficient about their client’s home. Plus, they can promote the GREEN Opportunities. ‘Green Real Estate Agents will learn what may be a hidden advantage of the home for ‘potential’ green initiatives that the buyer may embrace. As examples, homes that face south to the backyard with the right roof pitch may have a great opportunity for Solar Panels and homes with certain types of utility rooms are optimal for On-Demand ‘Tankless’ Water heaters. Buyers care more now than ever about the current and future operating cost of homes, so presenting the advantages and opportunities is a great way to attract more showings and offers.
