In addition to the new electives, Weichert Real Estate School also offers the NAR Green Designation Core Course and the Residential Real Estate Elective Course. Realtors who complete the core course and one of the three elective courses are eligible for the NAR Green Designation and membership in the Green Resource Council. The Green Designation was established by NAR in November 2008 and is the only green designation recognized and endorsed by the organization. The courses are also open to developers, builders and code officials, although only NAR members are eligible to receive the Green Designation.
“Everyone seems to be going ‘green’ these days,” said Lou Cecconi, director for the Weichert Real Estate School. “Realtors and other industry professionals who take the NAR Green Designation courses will gain knowledge and awareness of green building principles that will allow them to create sustainable communities and assist consumers in purchasing, retrofitting and operating green properties.“
