Pearl Certification and RESNET Enhance Real Estate Transparency with New Partnership

Pearl Certification has partnered with the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET) to enhance the visibility of home performance data in real estate transactions. By leveraging RESNET's database of 4.5 million HERS-rated homes, Pearl ensures that key performance metrics are accurately documented and accessible during property resale.

This collaboration targets a critical gap by highlighting features like attic insulation and high-efficiency HVAC systems, which are crucial for a home's value but often overlooked in appraisals. The Pearl Certification report combined with HERS ratings offers investment-grade documentation for agents, buyers, and sellers.

The integration ensures the HERS Index Score remains visible, maintaining the focus on energy-efficient features in real estate. Steve Baden of RESNET emphasizes that this will help consumers and real estate platforms assess and list a home's energy performance more efficiently.

Pearl's ongoing integrations strive to streamline workflows. By incorporating RESNET data, real estate professionals gain access to a more collaborative system that enhances data transparency across transactions.
