SUMMARY:Earth Advantage Broker
DESCRIPTION:The Earth Advantage Broker accreditation course provides real estate professionals with a competitive edge in communicating features and benefits for green and energy efficient home opportunities in their market. \nAre you prepared to meet increasing homebuyer demand for healthy\, comfortable\, efficient homes?\nA nationwide study in 2016* found that 81% of people who expect to buy a new home in the next two years say higher energy efficiency would cause them to choose one home over another AND that they would be willing to pay more for a healthier home. Policies and programs are also growing the green home market\, such as the City of Portland Home Energy Score Program and the more than 1 in 3 new homes built in Oregon that have earned an EPS® from Energy Trust of Oregon demonstrating they perform an average of 22% better than code-built homes. \nThe big picture shows a dramatic rise in the popularity of green and energy efficient homes that provide a healthier living environment and greater energy\, water\, and resource efficiency. Stay on top of your game by becoming an Earth Advantage Broker so you can continue to exceed homebuyer expectations with savvy information and recommendations. \nA ‘Newly Remodeled’ Training\nEarth Advantage Broker was updated in 2018 and now provides the most relevant and must-know green home information designed to help real estate professionals. \nNew resources. New activities. New modular approach: \n\nThe Anatomy of a Green Home \nMaking Savvy Energy & Solar Upgrades \nMillennials & Smart Homes Are Changing Real Estate\nHow Homebuyers Ask for Green (Without Saying the Word)\n​Top 10 Green Broker Resources\n\nWHEN & WHERE\nTuesday\, April 30 – Wednesday\, May 1\, 2019\n1.5 Days Classroom + 2 Green Home Site Visits \n\nApril 30 – Classroom (9:00 AM – 5:00 PM) | 7 CEs\nMay 1 – Site Visits (9:00 AM – 12:00 PM) | 3 CEs (location TBD)\nMay 1 – Classroom (1:00 PM – 5:00 PM) | 4 CEs\n\n\nLearn how to upgrade or sell a green home and market yourself as a green professional.\nHomebuyers and sellers rely on their real estate agents to provide influential guidance\, and yet a 2017 report by the National Association of Realtors** shows that only 39% of realtors are comfortable answering clients’ questions about energy efficiency. Homebuyers with ready access to the internet will expect you to know more and be a trusted advisor in their purchasing decisions. Being a ‘green professional’ means you are ahead of the curve and understand how houses are changing. In order to best serve your clients\, you will be expected to have earned a green designation proving that you have knowledge of the green home market\, can discuss green features and benefits\, and recommend the best ways to upgrade. \nEarn the Earth Advantage Broker Accreditation\nTake the course & pass the accreditation exam in order to become an EA Broker. Earth Advantage provides marketing support in the form of logos and a professional listing on the accredited professionals registry to help you display and promote your green credential to future clients.
