“NAR’s Green REsource Council helps create market leaders in the green industry.”
Dale Stinton, NAR EVP & CEO
Everything is “green” these days, usually as a gimmick. But my involvement with Cape Cod’s fragile enviroment and the relationship between how we build, buy and sell led me to obtain the Green Resource Council’s Green Realtor designation.
If you’re looking to buy a green home or building, use an NAR Green Designee as your resource throughout the buying process. NAR Green Designees work to serve you, not sell you. With extensive education on products, practices, and features of green buildings, an NAR Green Designee will find the property that’s right for you.

I think all agents should have choices. Our company, Green Real Estate Education, has offered our green certification for 4,500 in the last 24 months- for under $100. Charging over $400 is not necessary. We have not only taught members in 20+ boards and associations but also “green” educate mortgage professionals, home inspectors and all who assist agents in the practice of their profession. Our courses have state, and associations as well as ARELLO CE approvals. The company President and authors of the company series have real estate experience and our education was written by those having 400 or more transactions under their belt.

Thanks Kerry. The National Association of Realtors does not endorse GREE, and not all NAR Green courses are the same price. Whatever awareness we can bring to the issue is positive.
