Real Estate Professional Trade Allies
Get the energy-efficient home of your dreams
Are you planning to buy a newly built or existing home? Energy Trust's Real Estate Professional trade allies can help you search for a newly built or existing home with energy-efficiency features and lower energy costs.
Our trade allies have an advanced understanding of the value and benefits of energy-efficient homes and use this knowledge to help connect you to Energy Trust resources, services and cash incentives, while finding the home that best suits your needs.
Why work with a Real Estate Professional trade ally?
An Energy Trust Real Estate Professional trade ally can help you:
- Find an energy-efficient newly built or existing home. Energy-efficient homes can be more comfortable, with lower energy costs and healthier indoor air. It's quality you can feel and savings you can see. Ask your Real Estate Professional if the home has an Energy Performance Score—Energy Trust's "miles per gallon" energy rating for new homes.
- Find a builder. Energy Trust trade ally builder's can construct certified energy-efficient homes, such as ENERGY STAR®, LEED® or Earth Advantage®.
- Determine the efficiency of the home you're in now. Your Real Estate Professional can help you schedule a one-hour Home Energy Review to see where your home wastes energy. Or, schedule a comprehensive Home Performance with ENERGY STAR assessment performed by a contractor who uses state-of-the-art testing and equipment, and receive a customized action plan.
- Improve your home's efficiency levels. Select an Energy Trust contractor to make energy-saving improvements; take advantage of our cash-back incentives that help offset the cost of qualifying energy-efficiency home improvements; and find information on GreenStreet Lending through Umpqua Bank for low-interest financing options.
- Choose ENERGY STAR products that are eligible for cash-back incentives.
