Procrastinators, you’ve been issued a reprieve.

The EverGreen Award deadline has been extended to July 31st, meaning you have a bit more time to nominate yourself or a colleague for this annual recognition. 

We’re looking for NAR Green Designees who have made unique contributions to advancing the green building industry. 
 

Jeannette Moore, Green, EcoBroker, GRI, a St. Augustine, FL-based REALTOR® and broker, first earned her real estate license in 1984 while working as a stockbroker and financial planner. 

In 1990, she entered the residential real estate industry full time and created a niche selling bed and breakfast inns across Florida.

With the financial market downturn in 2006, B&B financing dried up, so Moore shifted her focus to green building and healthy homes and received both her NAR Green Designation and EcoBroker certification. 

The EverGreen winners are a distinguished bunch and include people who have gone on to build national reputations in the green industry. 

You have the chance to join them. 

All active NAR Green Designees, certified GREEN Instructors, and Certified Course Providers are eligible to be nominated. 

We invited some NAR Green Designees to talk about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on housing, how they’ve spent their downtime, and some of the business changes and opportunities they’re anticipating as the country reopens. 

Here’s some of what they said. 

As many companies scramble to define and respond to “pivot”– the word of our times – LAER Realty Partners has positioned itself to chase the new business that emerges as the pandemic recedes. 

That’s because the Chelmsford, MA.-based company rethought its entire strategy in  January 2019, shifting its focus to embrace sustainability principles and embed them in the company’s DNA.
