For Real Estate Professionals
Sustainability Sells; it’s a real point of difference. We help agents understand & communicate the many benefits.
The Green Gurus™ team provide leading industry information seminars and workshops to aid in bridging the knowledge gap that exists between the property sector and environmentally sustainable design (ESD) and quality construction.
Our real estate workshops are supported by the Real Estate Institute of Western Australia (REIWA) who provide approved Compulsory Professional Development (CPD) points for each of our courses. In addition, CPD points from other industry organisations, including Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) and Strata Communities Australia (SCA) can apply (subject to approvals/eligibility).

FEATURES OF OUR WORK
Innovation in Housing – REIWA Publication
Smarter ‘green’ homes that are more efficient to run, affordable to maintain, healthier and more comfortable to live in are very saleable. In fact, more buyers, investors and tenants rank sustainability as one of the top five considerations when buying or leasing their home. With new planning requirements focused on energy efficiency and with over 30+ per cent of WA homes now with roof-top solar PV electricity generation systems, agents will need to understand the many benefits and how to communicate them with customers.
Perth’s Real Estate Change Agent – The Fifth Estate
Nationally recognised go-to platform for Sustainable Development in Australia, The Fifth Estate has featured Green Gurus™ and Chiara Pacifici’s work over the last decade. A number of articles reaffirm that real estate agents hold the key to sustainable property. The evidence gathered over time builds a strong case that we need to do more awareness building and and education with the agents being at the frontline. “Teaching real estate agents – not only teaching but inspiring them to talk about these features– is the most important part of building momentum.”
