Let’s talk a little about what the addendum covers. First on the list is “green certification”, which is to say that the item has been certified as an environmentally friendly product. If you have an Energy Star rating, LEED certification, or a particular HERS score assigned to your home, then we’ll be able to document and attach it and hand it over to the appraiser.
