Pamela Brookstein is the Market Transformation Specialist for Elevate Energy. In this role she manages the Value for High Performance Homes initiative, an effort to bring together the energy efficiency and real estate communities to ensure that the value of high performance homes is visible in real estate transactions. Pamela has a background in sustainability and educating the real estate community. She brings these interests together in the classroom to create an encouraging, dynamic, and content-rich learning experience. Pamela thinks that it has become too confusing for people to live a lower impact lifestyle. But real estate agents can play a key role in advising their clients if they understand a few basics. With the information they learn in the Green Designation classes, Pamela can help keep agents at the center of the real estate transaction as more buyers become interested in sustainable living. In addition to her live teaching experience, Pamela, in collaboration with the National Association of REALTORS Green REsource council, developed and manages two online solar education classes for real estate professionals.
