HomeSmart International and Pearl Certification are partnering on an appraisal study that will determine how energy-efficient features impact value.
Through the partnership, agents at HomeSmart will assist eligible homeowners in Phoenix, Ariz., with certifying their homes through Pearl Certification. To conduct the study, the brands will analyze sale price and days on market for up to 100 homes that are certified and sold, with the goal of determining how much value Pearl Certification Reports add to Phoenix homes (includes the Appraisal Institute’s Green and Energy Efficient Appraisal Addendum). Pearl’s certification system highlights a home’s most efficient features, and suggests points of improvement to make before selling.
