[1]Neal Communities Brings The Green Alliance To Manatee.
Neal Communities is sponsoring a Realtor® seminar on Green Certification. The certification is part of a continuing education program offered by the Manatee Association of Realtors® (MAR). This event marks the first step in bringing the Green Alliance to Manatee County.
Pat Neal, president of Neal Communities and a proponent of green building, was instrumental in bringing the alliance program to Manatee County. “Buyers are well versed in green trends, so it only makes sense to educate as many people as possible about its benefits, especially real estate agents who are on the front line of the housing market,” he said. “People have begun to see green housing options as a smart real estate investment that not only produces healthier environments but also creates a potential plus when it comes time to sell. Smart real estate agents know how to market that and use it to benefit both buyers and sellers.”
The program will be taught by Steve Wooster, a founding member of the Green Realtor® Alliance of Sarasota. It will be held on:
