Kermit the Frog knows it isn't easy being green.  Nothing worthwhile is ever easy. 

Kermit

You can check out Kermit's performance here.

There is a new designation out there for REALTORS®, the Green Designation recognized by the National Association of REALTORS®.  Offered by REBAC (Real Estate Buyer's Agent Council of the National Association of REALTORS®), a 2-day core course was created so REALTORS® can "adopt and implement green practices in their day-to-day businesses."

The core course covers the definition of "green," green communities, green homes and buildings, green buyers and sellers, and how to green your real estate practice

The very first course is being offered at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando on November 5th and 6th, coinciding with the NAR Conference & Expo 2008.  And the really great news is that the introductory price is only $150.00 for the 2-day core course, discounted from $295.00.

 As time goes on, we're going to see more people interested in purchasing homes and making upgrades to their homes that incorporate green appliances and reduce the harm to our environment.  Why not get educated on the greening of America and see how we can further benefit our clients?

For more information, go to http://rebac.net.  Hope to see you in Orlando!  Kermit

Hello Lou, you are right, and the price for this course is half price - in this economy, that's a good thing!

I just completed all the requirements & expect to receive my GREEN Designation this week. The course was great & the elective is available on line. Here at the coast of NC, Morehead City & surrounding beaches we are very concerned about many forces which impact our delicate environment especially the waterways.

Hi Linda, sorry we didn't get a chance to meet in Orlando.  I thought the course was fabulous and am very excited to get my GREEN designation.  I'm wondering if I'm the first REALTOR in Tampa to get this new designation....we'll see.  Thanks for stopping by and best of luck to you!
