Most U.S. homes aren’t as comfortable, healthy and efficient as they could be. Pearl’s certification system can help you make your home perform better – AND likely increase it’s value. Protect your investments in high performing home features: certify and register them with Pearl.
Pearl’s independent, appraiser-documented study shows that Pearl Certified homes sell for 5% more when marketed properly. And Pearl Certified homes are supported with special marketing materials that will help your home’s sale listing stand out from the crowd.
When you select a Pearl Advantage Contractor, you can have confidence you’re working with a top-tier firm that will help you make the right improvements and perform high-quality work. Pearl accepts a small number of elite companies from each city into its Advantage Network. Contractors are screened to ensure that they have professional training, positive consumer ratings, and quality control processes and software to address customer issues.
Pearl Advantage Contractors add value to your home, because their work is certified by Pearl Certification. When they finish the job in your home, you’ll receive a Pearl Certification report and documentation for the appraiser. Only Pearl Advantage Contractors can provide these documents.
If your home has many features that make it healthy, comfortable and energy efficient, it may qualify for the Pearl Silver, Gold or Platinum levels. Your contractor can give you advice about whether it might qualify for one level now, and how you can make improvements that could raise it up to the next level.
When you sell or refinance your home, give these documents to your real estate agent, appraiser, and lender. They may help you recapture some or all of the value of the improvements you made!
Pearl Network Contractors have special training and expertise to improve your home. They
also provide the documentation you need
to increase your home’s value.
Only Pearl Network Contractors have specialized training and participate in a quality assurance system that allows them to contribute
information to the Pearl Certification.
According to a recent study, Pearl Certified homes sell for an average 5% more. Only Pearl
Advantage Contractors can make that
value visible to the real estate market!
