About this Event
BayREN, StopWaste, and Franklin Energy present:
Resilient & Healthier Homes for Real Estate Professionals
Tuesday, December 1 | 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Wildfire risk and fire season are on peoples' minds, and planned power shutoffs can leave homeowners wondering how prepared their homes really are. This class looks at health and home resilience in practical terms: What homeowners can do to reduce their home's vulnerability before a fire, and what to consider if they need to repair or rebuild afterward. We'll also talk about how Realtors can help clients find reliable information and navigate the process.
By taking this class, you'll come away with a gold mine of information to share with clients, including:
- Home hardening
- Fire-resistant landscaping
- Navigating insurance concerns
- Improving indoor air quality
- And more
Realtors don't need to be building scientists or insurance experts to add value. The goal is to leave iwth better questions to ask, useful information to share, and a clearer way to guide clients through preparing a home or making informed choices after a loss. When buyers and homeowners are concerned about safety, health, rebuilding, and reliable power, being able to have that conversation matters and adds real value to the relationships we build with our clients.
