A high-performing home is a residence with installations which make a property more energy efficient, and ultimately provides a healthier home. The high-performance market in Chicago, and nationally, is booming with a rise in sales across the board for homes in every price range. Marketing these high-performance homes is key, leading to a higher volume in sales as well as selling homes for more money than similar ones without the high-performance improvements.
Real Estate professionals who aim to earn an edge in this market need to understand the basics of these high-performing homes because they will highlight the benefits for their buyers and sellers with finesse. Benefits for this course include:
-
Helping clients effectively market the value of their high performing home, ensuring that they receive a premium price at the time of sale;
-
Promoting and endorsing the benefits of high-performance homes, their associated value, and an accurate estimate of the total cost of owning their new home;
-
Differentiate themselves from peers by serving as a source of information on this topic, including what rebate and incentive programs exist in their local market that clients can take advantage of to help make their homes high performing.
High-Performing Homes provides information and resources enabling a Real Estate agent the clarity to identify which homes will sell in the residential housing market. During this class, you will see an overview of the Chicagoland high-performance housing market, what rebates are available, examine which performancefeatures are most critical, and which incentives to spotlight for clients.

Pamela Brookstein works for Elevate Energy on the Value for High Performing Homes initiative, an effort to bring together the energy efficiency and real estate communities to ensure that the value of high performing homes is visible in real estate transactions. Pamela has a background in sustainability and teaching. She brings these interests together in the classroom to create an encouraging, dynamic, and content-rich learning experience. Pamela thinks that it has become too confusing for people to live a lower impact lifestyle. But real estate agents can play a key role in advising their clients if they understand a few basics. With the information they learn in the classes she teaches, Pamela helps keep brokers at the center of the real estate transaction as more buyers become interested in total cost of ownership, healthy indoor air quality, and a home’s resiliency.
