In honor of Earth Day, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) is offering a new Green MLS Tool kit in an effort to make marketing green homes a bit simpler by placing an initiative to their local MLS.

The Tool Kit was created by a number of associations and organizations, including the NAR, which have experience with “implementing a green MLS initiative”. Included in the Tool Kit is strategies, outlines and a list of resources that will help assist in the implementation of “greening” the MLS.

According to Ken Wade, CEO of Neighbor Works America, “By identifying which homes contain energy efficient and environmentally friendly characteristics, the Greening MLS Tool Kit will help all home buyers – especially first-time and low- and moderate income home buyers – make more informed choices about the cost of their housing and where upfront payment may lead to long-term saving.”
