Research data proves it: certified high-performing, energy-efficient homes sell for more, and they sell faster. An independent appraiser study showed Pearl Certified homes sell for an average 5% more when marketed properly.

MLS providers have added new data fields to display these energy-efficient features and independent home certifications. That means high-performing real estate professionals — those who know how to accurately document those features and educate buyers — will stand out from their competitors.
