The course, which Tuttle completed, provides an overview of different green home certification programs and offers participants a hands-on exploration of green building techniques and products through certified home site visits and a tour of the Earth Advantage Institute green building showroom.
In addition to this certification, Tuttle also has earned the National Association of Realtors' GREEN designation. The Garner Group has more agents than any other Bend, Oregon real estate company that have earned this designation.
