The Green REsource Council was founded to make the knowledge of the green real estate industry available to everyone. We accomplish this by providing sustainable education on existing and new homes to real estate agents—the link to millions of homebuyers, sellers, and builders.

We award REALTORS® who successfully complete the program requirements with NAR's Green Designation and membership in the Green REsource Council. Designed for residential real estate professionals, NAR's Green Designation addresses the increasing consumer demand for the benefits provided by greener homes, as well as knowledge of resource-efficient homes.

Green REsource Council members place themselves at the leading edge of green real estate, gaining access to member benefits, including ongoing education, up-to-date green resources and professionally crafted marketing tools. We also work to promote NAR's Green Designation by growing consumer and builder awareness and supporting green real estate advocacy.
