What is the Green REsource Council
Established by the Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council (REBAC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of theNational Association of REALTORS®, the Green REsource Council was founded to make the knowledge of green real estate practices available to everyone. We accomplish this by focusing our attention on providing sustainable education to real estate agents; the link to millions of home buyers, sellers and builders.
We award students who successfully complete the program requirements with NAR’s Green Designation and membership to our council. Designed for residential professionals, NAR’s Green Designation addresses the increasing demand for knowledge and resources on both new and existing sustainable homes.
Green REsource Council members place themselves at the leading edge of green real estate, gaining access to member benefits including ongoing education, up-to-date green resources and professionally crafted marketing tools. We also work to promote NAR’s Green Designation by growing consumer and builder awareness and supporting green real estate advocacy.
What is the benefits for agents
The Green REsource Council is a unique community committed to the future of the real estate industry—and the planet. We connect like-minded NAR Green Designees working to green their businesses and their lives.

As an NAR Green Designee, you’ll learn how to distinguish fact from fiction and receive ongoing education about green industry information, cost savings and energy efficient technology, increased value and green ratings, health benefits and green design, green incentives, green living and more!

What you will learn
NAR Green Day 1: Resource-Efficient Homes: Retrofits, Remodels, Renovations, and New-Home Construction
Day one will cover the distinguishing characteristics that make a home resource thrifty. The course looks at why consumer demand for these homes is increasing and how both the homes and consumer expectations impact the market. The course prepares real estate professionals to provide advice and sources of information to help homeowners improve the resource efficiency of their homes from low-cost fixes and DIY projects to retrofitting and replacing systems to big-budget remodeling projects. The course also looks at constructing a new, resource-efficient home and the value that real estate professionals can bring to the design and build team.
NAR Green Day 2: Representing Buyers and Sellers: Resource-Efficient Homes
The second course in the designation program sequence, focuses on applying the knowledge of resource-efficient, smart, and certified homes gained in the preceding course and adapting core real estate skills to build business success in the niche market for resource-efficient homes. Whether you represent the buyer or the seller, the agent on the other side of the transaction may not share your knowledge of resource-efficient homes. Particularly, if you represent the seller, you may need to put some extra effort into helping the buyer’s representative understand how the features and performance of the home affect the value. If you work with buyers, this course will help you apply your knowledge of green homes to help you best represent your client with the purchase of these niche market homes in all areas from buyer representation, consultations, and disclosures through the entire process.
