An NAHB Designation Shows Expertise

In today’s changing housing market, potential home owners have more questions than ever. How do I know if my builder or remodeler is the best one for the job? How do I choose a home sales professional that I am confident has my best interests in mind? How can I modify my home so I can continue living here after I retire?  

The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) offers comprehensive training programs to builders, remodelers and other industry specialists that lead to professional credentials. These NAHB designations are available in 13 specific areas ranging from building and remodeling to sales to property management to green building. Designations give consumers a guide to selecting professionals who have expertise in their areas of interest.
