About This Course
Sustainability is no longer a niche concern in real estate. It's a market force that shapes property values, consumer behavior, and development decisions. This 3-hour course prepares real estate professionals to understand, evaluate, and communicate the value of sustainable practices across real estate development, construction, and transactions.
Across three lessons, you'll explore the foundational economic principles behind sustainable housing investments, examine the social and environmental pillars of sustainability, and gain practical insight into green building certifications and their impact on property values and marketability. The course also tackles harder questions, including how practices like greenwashing and green gentrification can undermine genuine sustainability efforts.
Each lesson includes key term definitions, quizzes, and helpful resource links to support your understanding before completing the lesson assessments. This course is approved by the Georgia Real Estate Commission for 3 hours of continuing education credit.
