NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® GREEN DESIGNATION

April 21, 2009
   Jackson, California– Michael I Pulskamp with Mainstreet Brokers has been awarded Amador County’s first National Association of REALTORS®’ (NAR’s) Green Designation, the green real estate professional designation recognized by NAR.
Michael achieved this prestigious designation after completing 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, Michael added to his understanding of 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® like Mr. Pulskamp who can help them realize their green real estate and lifestyle goals.
As an NAR Green Designee, Michael has gained the knowledge and the tools necessary to become a trusted green resource for Amador County.  For more information about Michael Pulskamp please visit www.mainstreetbrokersonline.com or mikepulskamp@ mainstreetbrokersonline.com.
