MI Association of Realtors believes like you do. Appraisers should join us. MAR purchased an appraisal management company called Midwest. The goal is that the lender in MI choose Realtor Appraisers that belong to Midwest. When Midwest puts an appraiser on an assignment, the appraiser must belong to the "local MLS" of that area.

The role out was presented at Achieve and there were many appraisers in the room with questions. Some are speaking against this, they are the people not in attendance while the program was rolled out and explained.


Yes, this is endorsed by NAR.

Sept. 2009

Genesee County, MI - Angie Ridley, owner of Complete Realty, LLC, has been awarded the National Association of REALTORS®' Green Designation, the only green real estate professional designation recognized by NAR.

Angie Ridley achieved this prestigious designation after completing 18 hours of course work designed specifically for REALTORS®. The courses were created in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of industry experts from across the country; ensuring designees gain comprehensive knowledge of green homes and buildings and issues of sustainability in relation to real estate. Angie is currently the only EcoBroker Certified® in the area.

More specifically, Angie Ridley was trained in understanding what makes a property green, helping clients evaluate the cost/benefits of green building features and practices, distinguishing between industry rating and classification systems, listing and marketing green homes and buildings, discussing the financial grants and incentives available to homeowners, and helping consumers see a property's green potential.

"As energy costs rise along with concern for the environment, homeowners are looking for innovative ways to save money and live responsibly," said Dick Gaylord, NAR's immediate past president. NAR's Green Designation was developed in response to growing consumer awareness of the benefits of resource-efficient homes and buildings. The designation helps consumers who care about energy efficiency and sustainable building practices identify REALTORS® who can help them realize their green real estate and lifestyle goals.

As an NAR Green Designee, Angie has gained the knowledge and the tools necessary to become a trusted green resource for MI's Genesee, Oakland and Lapeer Counties. For more information about Angie Ridley, please visit www.AngieRidley.com or e-mail Angie@AngieRidley.com.
