The agents in the class had great experiences to share and many had tried incorporating "green/energy efficient" changes to their own homes. Even had several contractors who've done impressive projects with LEED and NAHB GREEN. GREEN is here to stay and as real estate professionals we'll be the source the consumer turns to so we need to be prepared to help them find answers.

It's a truism that the public want to have more energy-efficient homes, economically and sustainably practices in their lives. There is a wealth of information out there, in the GREEN Designation class and at GreenAndSave.com and other sites. While it can be overwhelming, these and many other helps are out there to assist in creating a plan to go green.

I am educating and promoting FHA's EEM-Energy Efficient Mortgage, a great way to finance energy retrofitting. Time to visit Adrienne too to let her know what's new at FHA. Regards, Dave Hi Kim,

We should discuss EEM’s. I am educating and promoting FHA’s EEM-Energy Efficient Mortgage, a great way to finance energy retrofitting.

Time to visit Adrienne too to let her know what’s new at FHA.
