Eco Broker vs. NAR's Green Designation - which one would you pick?
I really liked this post by another like-minded Realtor who also lives off-grid. Now I have a new goal - getting my EcoBroker designation! If you're thinking of living off-grid on Maui - let me help you. We have decades of experience with alternative energy, private water, and green lifestyle, so please give me a call.

Recently, NAR rolled out its' Green Designation. I have not had the pleasure to attend either of these designations training. But, 15 years of living green and off the grid does give me some stomping rights. I am looking at both websites right now and I am trying to discern which of the designations is more intensive and educational.
It looks like the NAR's Green Designation is more about raising the awareness of green issues in the Real Estate
industry. Students will be taught about the basics of today's green generation. The class covers how sustainability impacts smart growth, new urbanism, and community development. Attendees are also instructed as to how NAR's Green Designation can attract green clients. Students are required to complete a 12 hr. core course and a six hour elective course. The designation can be earned on line through Realtor University.
Now, mosey over the Ecobroker.com . Eco Broker is the first and the largest green real estate training system in the world. The Eco broker course offers in depth training for three subjects: environment, energy, and the green market. In some states Eco broker classes will qualify for CE credits. The Eco Broker course gives a full 18 hrs. of green instruction.
When I decide to designate my green status I plan to use the Eco Broker program. I love the website and all
the green knowledge it contains. The professional Eco-Broker's directory is also a nice little perk for the Realtor and a gleaming star for the consumer. I also like the fact that the Eco-Broker program continues to provide its' members with the latest updates on new trends and technologies related to the green industry.
