How to Talk About Green Homes | FREE Workshop

Study Finds Green
Homes are Worth More

An article in California Real Estate Magazine highlights findings from a recent study that homes with a green label sell for a 9 percent premium over non-labeled homes.

The re-sale value for a home with a green label is especially strong in areas with hotter climates like Los Angeles because homeowners in those regions prefer homes that keep cooling costs to a minimum.

And now that Energy Upgrade California in Los Angeles County is offering up to $4000 in rebates for green home improvements, and up to $2000 for a GreenPoint Rated label, there has never been a better time to help your clients get the green home they want.

Green Real Estate Workshop

How to Talk to Your Clients about Green Homes
11/8 | 10:30 am - 1 pm | FREE
The Centre at Sycamore Plaza, Lakewood | RSVP Now

Studies are finding that more and more homeowners are looking for homes with green, energy saving features. In fact, homes with a green certification have been found to command a 9% price premium over non-certified homes.

We'll teach you how to talk to your clients about the benefits of a green home, without relying on the word "green" to do the talking for you. Green homes are more comfortable, healthier, and save money on utility bills – features that are important to every homeowner. You'll also learn to speak about specific green features your clients already desire, like shade trees and double-paned windows, without the fear of green-washing.

At the end of this hour-long workshop, you will walk away feeling more comfortable talking to your clients about what a green home can do for them and how to find one.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
