A Different Shade of Green for your Home

Our proprietary BankonGreen certification is the only Green-housing compliant program available in the REO industry, utilizing nationally recognized standards to ensure that your properties deliver energy-efficiency savings to the homeowner or tenant, while minimizing the out-of-pocket costs to the organization. We recognize, as do our customers, that the foreclosure process does not have to mean lose/lose to everyone involved; rather, the process can meet both the social and corporate responsibility mandates of the organization as well as benefit the ultimate homeowner.

With the wide variety and definitions of what includes "Green" available today, it is easy to become a victim of "greenwashing", the practice of recommending excessive and often unnecessary repairs and modifications in the name of "environmental impact" or "energy-efficiency". Our in-house experts and partners, working under the BankonGreen certification standards, will only recommend enhancements that both meet pre-established standards and minimize out-of-pocket costs for our clients.

Multiple studies have shown that homebuyers are willing to pay more for green and energy-efficient homes - up to a point. By utilizing third-party certified assessments and reporting, we provide homebuyers comfort in knowing that the home they are purchasing is more energy efficient and affordable than a home which does not have the BankonGreen certification.

Our process ensures that we only make improvements which have the highest cost/benefit ratio: minimizing the cost to our clients and maximizing the benefit to the homebuyer. This means that the improvements will bring greater actual and perceived value to the home, allowing the home to stand out amid a highly competitive market.
