3.18 Home Certifications with Brett Little

There’s been plenty of studies over the years ranging anywhere from half of a percent to 15 percent in value for certifications.  And part of it has to do with the areas, so obviously when you get into areas like parts of Texas and California, Florida, Virginia, we saw value increases partiallybecause I think you have more educated and interested population who cares, and so they bring that value. -Brett Little Brett is the education manager for this non-profit organization, GreenHome Institute, which provides rich sources of educational information and services to empower people to make healthier and more sustainable choices in renovating and constructing the places we live.
