Hot Springs, AR (1888PressRelease)
November 13, 2008 - Jeff Kennedy & Debi Jones/The Kennedy Team of Trademark Real Estate, Inc. in Hot Springs, AR are the first REALTORS in Hot Springs to earn the EcoBroker Certified designation, having successfully completed a unique and informative training program on the energy and environmental issues that affect real estate transactions.
The Kennedy Team 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 Jeff Kennedy and Debi Jones, 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. “We’re always looking for the best ways to offer our clients the best value. Our EcoBroker training helps us ensure customer satisfaction, our number one priority,” The Kennedy Team explains. “From windows to moisture control to energy savings, we now have more resources at our disposal to help our buyers and sellers make better real estate decisions. The EcoBroker designation does not make us energy and environmental experts, but it allows us to better understand the issues and to convey this understanding to our 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. EcoBroker provides a complete curriculum of energy and environmental training to licensed real estate agents. Real estate professionals must complete the extensive EcoBroker curriculum and training and fulfill additional program requirements to become Certified EcoBrokers®. “The Kennedy Team is an example of the quality real estate professionals 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. Hot Springs needs more contributors like the Kennedy Team. The planet and our grandchildren need them too,” Dr. Beldock said.
The Kennedy Team continues to explain, “With EcoBroker training, we have broadened the range of real estate opportunities we offer our clients. Whether the transaction involves environmental assessment and mitigation (mold, radon, etc.) or the opportunity to reduce utility bills, we’re in a position to help. The real estate industry is changing, and to best serve our clients we need to understand the newest designs, technologies, and environmental issues. Our EcoBroker designation helps us stay ahead of the game.”
Jeff Kennedy and Debi Jones of the Kennedy Team earned their EcoBroker Certified® designation in October and are wasting no time in putting the tools and additional expertise to work. The Kennedy Team has already found that being a Certified EcoBroker® creates added value and customer satisfaction that sets them apart from other agents. The Kennedy Team says they are looking forward to the continuation of positively impacting the quality, durability, comfort, safety, and cost-effectiveness of homes and commercial buildings.
