REALTORS® should recognize that the interests of the nation and its citizens require the highest and best use of the land and the widest distribution of land ownership. They require the creation of adequate housing, the building of functioning cities, the development of productive industries and farms, and the preservation of a healthful environment.
Sustainability is based on the simple principle that everything we need for our survival and well-being depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment. To pursue sustainability is to create and maintain the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony to support present and future generations.

MLS Green Features
"Green Features Y/N - Form Required" was added to the Residential property type in 2018 to allow members to let you know about the property's green features. If "Yes" is selected, the Green Features Checklist is required to be completed and attached as a PDF to the listing on the MLS. Items on the form include Energy/Green Certifications and Energy and Water Efficient Features. The Green Features Y/N field allows you to search specifically for listings that have "green/energy efficient features" of some type. After searching, you can then review the attached form to see all green features present on that property.
