Join us this Wednesday, October 25, 2017 for the Green Real Estate Symposium hosted by our friends at Vermont Realtors.
The event will include information on three main topics. First, appraisers will be educated on how to accurately evaluate a house for its energy efficiency. They'll also learn how to point out areas that could be performing better.
Next, market research on green energy will show us why we are measuring sustainable energy in the first place.
Finally, the symposium will cover guided techniques and phrases for articulating the true value of a green home to prospective residents.
