green: Real Estate Licensee Mandatory Continuing Green Education - 02/05/10 10:38 AM
New Jersey will be the last state in the nation to mandate continuing education for its real estate licensees, legislation in place now to implement for the license renewal cycle July 2011 thru June 2013. With all the programs/monies promoting energy efficiency in residential and commercial buildings, it would be comforting to know that our real estate professionals have the capability and skills to properly market energy efficient buildings.
Why not have the NJ Real Estate Commission mandate that 3 hours of the ~15 mandatory hours be specifically on "green real estate." (It is not uncommon for state real estate commissions … (1 comments)

green: Environmental Stewardship and the REALTORS® Code of Ethics - 12/28/09 06:27 PM
You will recall that the REALTORS® Code of Ethics was adopted in 1913 (the National Association of REALTORS® was founded in 1908) and the preamble was added to the Code of Ethics in 1924.
My favorite part of our Code of Ethics is the preamble. It seems we skip it in our quadrennial ethics training. For those of us in the green space, the preamble seems to provide our raison d'être.
Excerpting the 1st paragraph:
"Under all is the land.
Upon its wise utilization ... depend the survival and growth of free institutions and of our civilization.
... the interests … (0 comments)
