Love Historic Architecture, Sustainability, and Minnesota History?

Get Old Home Certified!!!

 

Most housing stock in the Twin Cities is over 50 years old. As an agent, how well do you know your product?

​

With the Rethos Old Home Certified designation, you'll gain a marketing edge and serve your clients better with must-have info about the properties you work with daily. Old Home Certified is a 2-day realtor designation worth 12 CE credits, developed by the historic preservation non-profit, Rethos, in 2016. Enrich and leverage your knowledge of old homes as you dig deep to discover why they matter to your clients, your business, and your community. 

​

This year we are hosting Old Home Certified at the historic Landmark Center in downtown St. Paul. This two-day course is team-taught and covers a range of topics, from period-specific architectural styles to old building systems science, from historic districting to affordability for homeowners. You will get a 360-degree view of our local built environment. We've gathered a dream team of professionals in architecture, real estate, social justice, and more to share targeted info in this groundbreaking course. Serve your clients better by gaining expert insight into the homes you work with daily. This fast-paced curriculum features classes such as “Revivals, Archways, and Turrets: Pre-War Architecture in Minnesota", "Understanding Old Houses: Preservation and Performance", and "Race and Property".​ Day One of this program will focus on our classic Preservation Basics and Historic Architecture curriculum, while Day Two will have specialty topics that will rotate yearly!

 

Both days, a light breakfast and beverage service will be provided, and lunch will be catered. Rethos will host a happy hour for participants at Waldmann Brewery.
