Energy Trust of Oregon announces the discontinuation of the Real Estate Ally Network effective June 1, 2019.

More than 400 real estate professionals have joined the network since it first launched in 2008, and we have truly appreciated everyone’s participation. With the network’s help, our 10-year investment in this market raised awareness and increased the value of energy efficiency in real estate transactions.

As market awareness of the value of energy-efficiency has increased, more market-based designations and continuing education opportunities have become available for real estate professionals. This growth in resources has meant a diminishing need for Energy Trust’s direct involvement.

As a result, Energy Trust will discontinue the Real Estate Ally Network effective June 1, 2019. The “Find a Real Estate Professional” tool and realtor contact information has been removed from the Energy Trust website. If real estate professionals include Energy Trust’s logo on any business or marketing materials, please remove it before reprinting.

Energy Trust will still provide incentives and resources for customers and real estate professionals through our Residential programs. Earth Advantage will be the main resource for real estate professionals looking for training opportunities, useful information and tools.

If you have questions about the discontinuation of the Real Estate Ally Network, please contact residentialta@energytrust.org. For more information about energy-efficient solutions for homebuyers and sellers, visit Earth Advantage or contact education@earthadvantage.org.
