Here's what others are saying about this course:
"I highly recommend the Green-High Performance-Solar Homes course! It really gave great insight into where we're going in the real estate business and people who are looking for green homes. Melissa Richter was a terrific instructor. She had high energy and was really engaging."
-John Hatcher | Keller Williams Realty
"It was awesome! I highly recommend Melissa Richter's Green Homes course. It was fun, engaging, and I learned a lot!"
-Laura Madsen | EXP Realty
"Melissa provided great content including green construction details, calculating the added value of the high-performance technologies in a home, and also directed the class on how to properly fill in MLS paperwork. Not only that, she also directed the class on how to select the property terminology for home descriptions. This is not a class to take just once. It's worth taking multiple times as technologies are changing at a rapid pace in the are of Green Building."
-Tami Goodrich | Keller Williams Realty
