Mariana Fiorentino
Carrboro real estate broker Mariana Fiorentino recently received the EcoBroker Certified designation after completing a training program regarding the energy and environmental issues affecting real estate.
Fiorentino, owner of Terra Nova Global Properties, completed the EcoBroker program in July.
The program provides participants with information regarding energy-efficient and healthy features of homes and buildings through a curriculum of energy and environmental training.
“From windows to moisture control to energy savings, I now have more resources at my disposal to help my buyers and sellers make better real estate decisions,†Fiorentino said, adding that the EcoBroker designation enables her “to better understand the issues and to convey this understanding to my buyers and sellers.â€
According to Fiorentino, the real estate market is shifting toward energy-efficient, sustainable and healthier design and features in homes and buildings, and her new certification will help her to better understand new design, technologies and environmental issues.
Fiorentino also serves on the Community Leadership Council for a Sustainable Community and is a member of the Green Building Council of the Home Builders’ Association of Orange, Durham and Chatham counties.
