Today marks the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, and green homes and trends are on the rise. It's no surprise, then, that the Green MLS Tool Kit now exists, launched by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) to help realtors add a green initiative to their local multiple listing service (MLS).

"Realtors are the best source for real estate information and have access to the most comprehensive data in the world," said NAR President Vicki Cox Golder, owner of Vicki L. Cox & Associate in Tucson, Ariz. "NAR research has consistently shown that there is a considerable and growing market for green buildings. The approach of Earth Day on April 22 only underscores the fact that many of today's consumers want homes and communities that are sensitive to the larger environment. The Green MLS Tool Kit allows realtors to support this growing market."

The Green MLS Tool Kit provides a snapshot of the green home industry and contains resources to help NAR members plan the process of greening their MLS. It also offers recommendations for navigating everything from assembling the team and developing green data entry forms to personalizing the MLS to specific locations.
