Sarasota, FL– June 29, 2009
Pam Charron with Prudential Palms Realty has been awarded the
National Association of REALTORS®’ (NAR’s) Green Designation, the
only green real estate professional designation recognized by NAR.
Pam achieved this prestigious designation after completing 18 hours
of course work designed specifically for REALTORS®. The courses were
created in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of industry
experts from across the country;
ensuring designees gain comprehensive knowledge of green homes and
buildings and issues of sustainability in relation to real estate.
More specifically, Pam was trained in understanding what makes a
property green, helping clients evaluate the cost/benefits of green
building features and practices, distinguishing between industry
rating and classification systems, listing and marketing green homes
and buildings, discussing the financial grants and incentives
available to homeowners, and helping consumers see a property’s
green potential.
“As energy costs rise along with concern for the environment,
homeowners are looking for innovative ways to save money and live
responsibly,” said Dick Gaylord, NAR’s immediate past president.
NAR’s Green Designation was developed in response to growing
consumer awareness of the benefits of resource-efficient homes and
buildings.
The designation helps consumers who care about energy efficiency and
sustainable building practices identify REALTORS® who can help them
realize their green real estate and lifestyle goals.
As an NAR Green Designee, Pam has gained the knowledge and the tools
necessary to become a trusted green resource for Sarasota.
