Jennifer Azevedo, of Azevedo & Associates in Granite Bay has earned the EcoBroker Certified® designation, having successfully completed a unique and informative training program on the energy and environmental issues that affect residential real estate and real estate transactions. Jennifer Azevedo is an advocate for the education and practice of real estate professionals acknowledging and emphasizing energy-efficient, sustainable, and healthier design/features in homes and buildings. The “performance home” is getting a boost thanks to this type of high quality Realtor® with the EcoBroker® designation. EcoBrokers®, like Jennifer Azevedo, are forging this market and creating competitive advantages for sellers and buyers. With national surveys indicating that 80% of consumers consider themselves “green-minded,” and a recent survey conducted by Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, a Realogy Corporation, found that 51% of those surveyed “believe in the importance of working with a green-certified real estate agent”. EcoBrokers® are in a better position to serve the real estate consumer. “Being educated on a home, how it is built, how it functions, how much it will cost you or save you matters. Knowing the difference between house A’s and house B’s “green” features can determine a sale.” Azevedo 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. Being an EcoBroker® allows me to better serve my clients, the environment and to translate those benefits to everyday living. It creates a whole other avenue for marketing a home.”
