LOCAL REALTOR ACHIEVES
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS
® GREEN DESIGNATION

Richmond, Kentucky- Amanda V. Stepp of Prudential Don Foster Realtors has been awarded the National Association of REALTORS (NAR’s) Green Designation, the only green real estate professional designation recognized by the NAR.
    Amanda achieved this prestigious designation after completing 18 hours of course work designed specifically for REALTORS. The courses were created in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of industry experts from across the country; ensuring designees gain comprehensive knowledge of green homes and buildings and issues of sustainability in relation to real estate.
    More specifically, Amanda was trained in understanding what makes a property green, helping clients evaluate the cost/ benefits of green building features and practices, distinguishing between industry rating and classification systems, listing and marketing green homes and buildings, discussing the financial grants and incentives available to homeowners, and helping consumers see property’s green potential.
    “As energy cost rise along with concern for the environment, homeowners are looking for innovative ways to save money and live responsibly,” said Dick Gaylord, NAR’s immediate past president. NAR’s Green Designation was developed in response to growing consumer awareness of the benefits of resource-efficient homes and buildings. The designation helps consumers who care about energy efficiency and sustainable building practices identify REALTORS who can help them realize their green real estate and lifestyle goals.
    As an NAR Green Designee, Amanda has gained the knowledge and the tools necessary to become a trusted green resource for Madison County. For more information about Amanda V. Stepp please visit, www.AmandaVStepp.com or email at AmandaVStepp@mac.com

Congratulations, Amanda. I recently attended the two-day seminar organized by NAR in our area, and just passed that, and the elective online class, so I am looking forward to join you and many others to stay green.

I'm taking the classes online since I need CE classes for renewal and I decided to make it ''count''. So, I'm on my way to add Green to my belt.

But next time I'm taking any RE education, it will be in class.
