REALTOR Veronica Imery has been awarded the National Association of REALTORS' (NAR) Green Designation
Chastain, Jenkins and Leathers, LLC is very pleased to announce that
Veronica Imery, REALTOR has been awarded the National Association of
REALTORS’ (NAR) Green Designation, the only green real estate professional
designation recognized by NAR.
Veronica Imery achieved this prestigious designation after completing 18
hours of 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, Veronica Imery was trained in understanding 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 who can help them realize their green real estate and lifestyle
goals.
As an NAR Green Designee, Veronica Imery has gained the knowledge and the
tools necessary to become a trusted green resource for Athens. For more
