How do you become
an ECO-Agent?

Are you a licensed REALTOR®? Are you interested in and committed to sustainable design, building and development? Then you need to become a certified ECO-Agent.

The Asheville Board of REALTORS®, together with a number of local organizations and businesses, have created a training program to give you what you need to provide special environmental services to your clients.

The program consists of 36 credit-hours of classes or a combination of classes and alternative credits. Twenty of the credits must come from the core courses. There are two of them and they cover the the basics of relevant inside and outside environmental issues.

Issues vary from one region of the country to another, so it is especially helpful that these courses are led by local people. The instructors are environmental professionals invarious fields who work with local organizations or businesses.

Check the Core Courses page on this site for more information and the Calendar to find out when they will be offered next. You can also contact Corean Hamlin at the Asheville Board of REALTORS® for more information or any member of the ECO-Board. See the Agent Directory for contact info.

The other sixteen credit-hours can come from a choice of elective courses and possibly from alternative sources. Learn more at Electives and Alternative credit. Electives courses to choose from are many and offered often.

You need to keep track of the classes you take and provide the Board with certificates of completion or receipts to obtain credit. Always check in advance to be sure you can get credit for an elective, if there's any question.

You can't get the certification overnight, but you'll appreciate all you learn and meet lots of great people in your classes!
