 Print Article

RISMEDIA, Nov. 1, 2007-ARELLO, The Association for Real Estate License Law Officials, has approved the “Green Building for Realtors®” Course as the first course on record for the new ARELLO Education Content Certification Program (AECCP).

Originated by Kerry Mitchell, Mitchell established Green Real Estate Education in early 2006, with over 14 years in real estate as a Maryland and Florida Broker.

In addition to training the real estate industry on the basics of implementing green principles in everyday practice, Green Real Estate Education trains on outreach, and is writing one of the only green building course series in the United States with its primary focus being real estate professionals.

The Real Estate Environmental and Energy Education Certification Series is exclusively for the real estate industry educating on energy efficiency, sustainability and green building relating to each of the four major disciplines. The Real Estate Licensee course is already approved in Florida, Maryland, Illinois, Iowa, South Carolina, Georgia and Louisiana for three hours of CE, and is in the review stages in Virginia, Minnesota, DC, and California.

The Introduction to Green Building course for Home Inspectors is approved for four hours of MRC and CE credits by ASHI, NAHI and NACHI with classroom delivery in South Florida. The Appraisal course is being reviewed by the Appraisal Institute, and is approved for four hours of CE in Florida waiting for Illinois approval. The Mortgage course is in review stages with the MBA.

Mitchell organized a Web Event in an online training format for the MBA in September 2007. According to Mitchell, real estate professionals in organizations and banking associations across the country are hungry for the information. Mitchell shares this information so that they can then branch out to share the importance of these issues with their associates and clients.
