Washington, DC (October 10th, 2009) — Have you or someone you know tried to sell their home recently? It's a tough market out there, and wouldn't it be nice to get some recognition for the efforts you made to make your home energy-efficient and eco-friendly? Energy-efficient homes typically have lower operating costs, are more comfortable, and have better indoor air quality than a comparable unimproved home, which makes them more attractive to potential home buyers. A recent study by a Seattle-based real estate investment firm showed that homes considered "green" actually sell faster and for more dollars per square foot than comparable homes without a "green" certification. 

During this year’s 14th annual Green Festival, ecobeco introduced the Green Home Certification that certifies a home as “Light Green”, “Green”, or “Dark Green” based on a detailed list of attributes that rewards energy-efficiency, renewable energy, eco-friendly materials, and more. Designed predominantly for realtors and homeowners interested in showcasing their houses, ecobeco only certifies items that convey with the home at time of sale, so buyers know they are getting an accurate assessment of the home they will arrive to after closing. For more information on this new service or to schedule an appointment, visit www.ecobeco.com/greenhome or click the “Green Home Certification” tab on the ecobeco.com homepage.

Realtors can join ecobeco’s Realtor Program, which includes special pricing for bulk purchases by visiting www.ecobeco.com/realtor. Learn how ecobeco’s Energy Efficiency + Green Energy ecoAssessment is the perfect closing gift for your customers at $99.
