NAR's decision to develop a green designation program is the result of many months of market consideration and evaluation. NAR found that there is a growing demand for REALTORS to understand green, how green is transforming the needs and concerns of buyers and sellers, as well as how Realtors can adopt and implement green practices in their day-to-day businesses.
The instructor for the course is Edward Smith, Jr., CREI, ITI, CIC, GREEN, RECS.
