Sandstorm Design and National Association of REALTORS® Launch the Green REsource Council Web Site to Help Make Green Building Accessible

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS — May 7, 2009 Sandstorm Design has launched a new web site for the National Association of REALTORS® to promote the Green REsource Council and NAR's Green Designation. The designation is the first of it's kind from NAR and offers specialized green real estate training for residential, commercial and property management professionals.

Filled with up-to-date news and resources, the site educates users on green building products and practices, reveals the numerous advantages to going green, and helps distinguish green goers from greenwashers.

Sandstorm Design was responsible for the design, writing, development and marketing of the site. "We wanted to make green seem accessible and help users start the conversation," Creative Director, Janna Fiester, said regarding the strategy behind the look, feel and tone of the site.

Non-members are able to connect with green designees and professionals, and members have access to exclusive webinars and marketing materials, an online community and more.

Established in early 2008, the Green REsource Council works to make green real estate knowledge available to everyone. They're accomplishing this by advocating for a greener MLS, building NAR’s Green Directory for green industry vendors, and developing resources and partnerships to keep their members at the forefront of the industry.
