SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!

Attention: Home appraisers, lenders, underwriters, realtors and others involved in the financial aspects of home sales: Do not miss this excellent educational event! Tuesday, January 19th, 2010. One day - two great seminars:

The Canary in the Coal Mine: ENERGY STAR and the Appraisal Process

This seminar was developed under the auspices of the U.S. EPA Energy Star ® Program, a government initiative that significantly impacts the housing industry. Over the last decade, the new home industry has experienced an impressive transformation to high-performance homes that combine the latest advances in energy efficiency, building science, and indoor air quality; and appraisers need to learn how to factor these new improvements into their appraisals.

An emerging service industry is bringing similar improvements to existing homes. The result is an increasing penetration of homes that provide more comfort, health, and durability while drastically reducing ownership costs. This seminar explains the principles and technologies underlying home performance as well as how Energy Star ® is transforming markets of high-performance homes all over the country. Participants will also discuss how they can start accounting for the value of home performance improvements in their appraisal assignments.

Inspecting the Residential Green or High Performance House

The number of green homes is increasing across the country. These homes provide unique challenges for valuation. Learn what’s different about valuing homes with energy efficient improvements and fixtures by attending this seminar.

The focus of this 3-hour seminar will be on the construction of energy efficient and green built structures, inspection of a house and a review of the residential appraisal report done for plans and specifications emphasizing the inadequacies created by not recognizing special construction features. This seminar is designed for the residential appraiser, builders and lenders and is appropriate for all levels of residential experience.

The green movement is here to stay, all appraisers must be prepared!

If you are involved in home sales, these seminars are highly recommend. If you are a homeowner you might want to pick up the yellow pages, call some appraisers and ask if they know about them. Let them know that home performance is an important issue to you and urge them to attend. Properly accounting for home energy efficiency improves our lives, our community and our bottom line.
