RE/MAX Classic of Farmington Hills Goes Green -- Agents Earn Prestigious Green Designation

Agents of RE/MAX Classic in Farmington Hills recently earned the prestigious Green Designation through the National Association of Realtors®. The course was led by Bart Patterson, vice president and general manager of RE/MAX Classic, and certified instructor for the Green Course through the Greater Metropolitan Association of REALTORS®. RE/MAX agents who received the Green Designation include Barry Canner, Amer Garmo and Brian Yaldoo.

The Green Designation is the only designation of its kind recognized by the National Association of Realtors®. During the program, agents become familiar with green principles and choices in home design. In addition, agents learn the materials, systems and construction methods used in developing or rehabbing energy-efficient homes. As graduates, the agents can now fully explain the value of living green to their clients.

"Today's consumer is embracing a greener lifestyle. As a result, we see more and more clients requesting green features when they search for a home," said Patterson. "The Green Designation allows our agents to serve as knowledgeable experts on this topic. Our agents can now provide objective information to their clients to help them determine whether a home meets the criteria they desire. This is a perfect example of RE/MAX's ongoing commitment to the education of our agents."
