Climate Change and Real Estate Investing

CE Credit: 4

Instructor: Dr. Doug Bruggeman, Founder of Ecological Services and Markets

Natural disasters have become a significant factor underlying mortgage default. Further, properties less vulnerable to threats such as flooding sell at comparably higher prices. The “Climate Change & Real Estate Investing” class is designed to help Realtors understand the threats that drought, wildfires, floods, hurricanes, and sea-level rise pose to clients buying or selling real property. Further, we will discuss what the best available science and data indicate regarding the link between these threats and climate change. The class will help Realtors understand risk under climate change, what the existing uncertainties are, and where to find the best available scientific information. While realtors cannot be expected to be scientific experts, this course will help realtors direct their clients to critical public data sources.
