- Ms. Mitchell says "Green Real Estate Education was founded with the company focus on creating "green" education for all disciplines within the real estate arena. The company motto of their green education programs: "We train the chain in a real estate transaction." The courses help all in the real estate industry to discuss green awareness with clients. The courses offer a basic understanding of "green" materials and gives an overview of not misrepresenting the industry. Ms. Mitchell says, " The real estate professional is the first line in the communication for most consumers and real estate investors look to all professions in the real estate industry to protect their investment." She continues "In this new world of green awareness and consumers want guidance on how to save energy and lower operating and management costs and how to lower utility bills." Real estate licensees will be representing these structures in the marketplace. According to Mitchell, homeowners and business owners are not well informed on the availability of state and federal tax incentives to make their structures more energy efficient. Sources to find energy efficient tax incentives, financing and green finding products are discussed. Global issues are covered as they relate to real estate and an overview of renewable energy systems are beginning to be installed in homes and buildings nationwide. Explanation of the basics of "green" mortgage products and energy raters are discussed. Licensees learn about the third party green certifications locally and nationally. These concepts give homeowners and building owners the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their buildings' performance.
