RMLS™ recently produced the Green Features Guide, a collaboration with Social, Environmental, and Economic Consulting LLC (SEEC) of Rainier, Washington. The 40 page document is intended to educate brokers about green and/or energy-efficient features found in homes, where those features can be found on RMLS™ listing forms, tips, information resources, and more.

“The guide looks great, and I think it will be a helpful tool!”
– Teresa St. Martin, Certified EcoBroker

RMLS™ was one of the first multiple listing services to include listing fields for energy efficient homes, including energy certifications and other features. Each year the listing forms committee decides what new features to incorporate on RMLSweb, and green fields increase in number each year.

Interest in green building continues to rise, and brokers should find the guide helpful for quickly finding information to add depth to their listings.  The Green Features Field Guide was adapted to the RMLS™ Residential Data Input Form by SEEC and is now available for brokers to use as a tool in assisting clients listing their homes, or searching for homes with green features.
