Local Real Estate Professional Certified to Address and eNCOURAGE the Benefits of Energy Efficiency and Green Features in Homes
Albuquerque, NM—November 23 – Eloise Gift of Keller Williams Realty in Albuquerque, NM has earned the EcoBroker Certified® designation, having successfully completed a unique and informative training program on the energy and environmental issues that affect real estate transactions. Ms. Gift joins the movement of professionals pushing the real estate market toward energy-efficient, sustainable, and healthier design/features in homes and buildings. The “performance home” movement is getting a boost thanks to this type of high quality real estate professional earning the EcoBroker designation.
EcoBrokers® like Ms. Gift throughout the country are forging this market and creating competitive advantages for their customers. With national surveys indicating that 80% of consumers consider themselves “green-minded,” real estate professionals with the EcoBroker designation are in a better position to serve the real estate consumer. “I’m always looking for the best ways to offer my clients the best value. My EcoBroker training helps me ensure that customer service is my number one priority,” Ms. Gift explains. “From windows to moisture control to energy savings, I now have more resources at my disposal to help my buyers and sellers make better real estate decisions. The EcoBroker designation doesn’t make me an energy and environmental expert, but it allows me to better understand the issues and to convey this understanding to my buyers and sellers.”
EcoBroker International’s education and designation program is designed exclusively for real estate professionals who care about the environment and want to help their clients benefit from the energy-efficiency, “green,” and healthier features of homes and buildings.
Real estate professionals must complete the extensive EcoBroker curriculum and training and fulfill additional program requirements to become Certified EcoBrokers®. “Ms. Gift is an example of the quality real estate professional the EcoBroker designation continues to attract,” explains EcoBroker International’s CEO, Dr. John Beldock. “These real estate professionals are not only distinguishing themselves in a competitive market place, but they are really giving back to the community in very constructive and meaningful ways. Albuquerque needs more contributors like Ms. Gift. The planet and our grandchildren need them too,” Dr. Beldock said.
From her Albuquerque office, Eloise Gift explains, “With EcoBrokerÒ training, I have broadened the range of real estate opportunities I offer my clients. Whether the transaction involves environmental assessment and mitigation (mold, radon, etc.) or the opportunity to reduce utility bills, I’m in a position to help. The real estate industry is changing, and to offer my clients the very best service I need to understand the newest designs, technologies, and environmental issues. Adding the EcoBroker designation to others I already earned helps me do just that.”
Ms. Gift earned her EcoBroker Certified® designation this month (November) and is wasting no time in putting her additional expertise to work. Eloise has already found that being a Certified EcoBroker® creates added value and customer satisfaction that sets her apart from other agents. For example, in conversation with a green builder of a LEED certified home, Eloise was able to show the prospective seller how she can highlight the benefits of his newly constructed home’s cooling and heating systems, as well as other energy saving features like the windows. She also suggested an inexpensive energy efficiency test. Her innovative energy and environmental perspective won her the confidence of the builder who was looking for ways to highlight green features of his home. Ms. Gift says she’s looking forward to continuing to positively impact the quality, durability, comfort, safety, and cost-effectiveness of homes and commercial buildings through her new skills.
