You're invited to attend a new sales program designed to teach realtors, real estate agents and other executives in the real estate industry how to increase their sales revenue by selling energy efficiency home surveys, solar water heaters and solar power systems to residential home buyers and commercial real estate customers.
“Many realtors may not realize it, but they are uniquely qualified to sell energy efficient upgrades and solar power systems to customers that are buying new or existing homes that have big rooftops facing south or west,” said Robert Hoskins, the ASPS’s President. “The real estate industry is in the perfect position to roll the cost of energy-efficient upgrades and solar power/water heaters into a 30-year, 203K mortgage; the same way they sell swimming pools.”
The 30-minute Realtor Solar Scout™ Training Program teaches real estate agents how to:
1. Scout for premium solar residential/commercial rooftops
2. Participate in direct mail/door hanger marketing programs that generate sales leads
3. Utilize monthly electricity usage to recommend a solar system to zero out electricity bills
4. Collect a 1% commission on sales price, plus $750-$1,500 signing fee per signed contract
5. Create tens of thousands of dollars of tax-free home equity
6. Add new revenue streams via energy efficiency surveys
7. Add new revenue streams via solar thermal water heater installations
8. Add new revenue streams via solar power installations
9. Access $185 million of subsidies that pay 60% of solar/energy efficiency installations
10. Learn about new laws that prevent HOAs from prohibiting solar installations
The ASPS is currently is targeting realty companies such RE/MAX Realty, Long Realty Alliance, West USA Realty, Realty Executives, Coldwell Banker, Century 21, Keller Williams and the Arizona Association of Realtors.
The first step is to RSVP yes to this event. Everyone that RSVPs yes by March 30, 2009, will receive a URL link to an online power point presentation and a teleconference number/password.

The Realtor Solar Scout™ Training program registration fee is free. Call [masked] for more information.
Although the ASPS’ Realtor Solar Scout™ Training Program is being rolled out for real estate agents in Arizona, the training courses teach anyone, anywhere in the U.S. armed with a computer and broadband Internet access how to become a Solar Scout™, how to find ideal solar rooftops that are situated perfectly to collect solar insolation, and how to sell solar power and solar thermal water heating systems.
A typical system solar power system sells for $35,000 - $50,000. A system that zero's out a customer's electricity bill completely will be closer to $100,000. The good news is that Arizona's resident solar subsidies pays for 60% of the solar equipment and installation costs. Click here to see all of Arizona's rebates, incentives, Arizona tax credits and federal investment tax grants.
Real Estate Agents will collect a 1% sales commission on the selling price of the solar system. Agents can also collect a solar sales transaction fee as long as the fees are disclosed in the mortgage contract.
This is the best way for real estate companies to position their agents to take advantage of the $43 Billion Obama American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

“ Great call. Next up is technical solar training and solar sales closing techiques. We are working on the Non-disclosure agreements, the sales contracts and the dates for the training courses, which we understand need to be held sooner than later. ”
“ I was hoping to get the actual "Sales Training" program, i.e. sales process, partners, etc. Sounds like that will be the topic of a future meeting. ”
