of the class enriched the entire experience." -DeeJaye Lockwood
"My goal in taking this class was to gain practical,
UNBIASED knowledge on how to construct and/or remodel residences in keeping
with sensible green practices. This class way exceeded my expectations and I recommend it highly." -Rachel Hendrickson
"The NAR Green Designation class instructed by Hogan
School of Real Estate exceeded my expectations by far. This 3 day class was very informative,
applied real estate scenarios, encouraged class participation and has made a true
positive difference in the way that I run my real estate practice. I enjoyed the
passion for making a difference especially in a challenging real estate market.
Thank you again!" -Tiffany Huff
"This was the most interesting class: stretched my knowledge gave me more insight and
the collegiality of class - all enhanced the learning experience plus the visuals and handouts
were excellent. All in all, the class is right on target for GREEN and the designation for use in
today's marketplace. After all GREEN is the new Red, White & Blue (according to Tom Friedman)." -Claire Jean Prager
In his new book, Hot, Flat and Crowded, Tom Friedman tells us, "...global
warming, the stunning rise of middle classes all over the world, and rapid population
growth that have converged in a way that could make our planet dangerously unstable."
For too long we have mostly ignored sustainable ways of building and living. But it is not too late
to change. How do we change? By Going GREEN!

Going green is a challenge and an opportunity for us and our nation. Witness the ever
