NAR Green Designation
Get the Expertise You Need
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to get your NAR Green Designation in Vermont!
This designation comes as a result of the growing demand for REALTORS® to understand green concerns of clients and implement sustainable practices in their day-to-day business. NAR’s Green Designation is a unique program that provides vital training, support, and information to real estate professionals who are looking to advance their businesses and raise awareness in their community about the cost savings, health benefits, and overall value of homes with green features. NAR’s Green Designation does more than introduce REALTORS® to this important topic, it encourages dialogue amongst industry professionals about the positive change in housing toward smarter, healthier, more sustainable homes and neighborhoods.
NAR’s Green Designation counts as credit toward earning the ABR® designation awarded by the Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council (REBAC). A copy of the course completion certificates is required to receive credit towards your ABR® designation.
