Green Principles (Courtesy of the California Association of REALTORS®)

1. Seek to have each transaction create a positive benefit for their clients and aim to give back to their communities and the environment.
2. Strive to incorporate sustainability in their business practices.
3. Strive to be a resource to other agents and the general public regarding renewable resources, green building, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality.
4. Seek to raise awareness among fellow REALTORS® about conducting business in an environmentally sound and beneficial manner.
5. Form alliances with knowledgeable and committed green service providers who can further assist their clients.
6. Understand that green features alone do not make their listings "green homes." Consequently, REALTORS® should accurately represent a home's green features and enhancements.
7. Educate their clients about the value of green principles in creating healthy homes, work places and communities, and a healthy environment.
8. Assist their clients in purchasing and/or creating a healthier and more energy-efficient home.
