Sustainability is on REALTORS’® radar. 
 
Sixty-three percent of REALTORS® say that promoting energy efficiency in listings is valuable, and 50% note that they've helped clients buy and sell a home with green features, according to the National Association of REALTORS’® Environmental, Social, Governance, and Resilience (ESG+R) report. 

Neel Midha, a REALTOR® and Associate Broker with Harry Norman, REALTORS® in Atlanta, loves helping people attain their dream of owning a home and says, “I get to create lifelong friendships while having fun along the way.”

Heating and cooling, windows, insulation, water heaters, solar, battery storage, and more: there are new and/or expanded tax credits available starting in 2023 homeowners can take advantage of. 

Before becoming a REALTOR® in 2018, Angela Veatch worked in sales management in the insurance industry. She also was the marketing director for RE/MAX Real Estate Group in Windsor Heights, IA, for seven years.  

The work gave her an understanding of the importance of delivering a glitch-free experience to buyers and sellers and helping them to move through a real estate transaction smoothly as possible. 

As you gear up for the spring buying season, take some time to plan how you'll gauge buyers' interest in green home features and introduce such topics to them.
