Understanding environmental due diligence is key to protecting your clients and closing deals with confidence. This live, interactive webinar is designed specifically for real estate professionals who want to better understand Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) and their impact on property transactions.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How to interpret each section of a Phase I ESA report
  • What regulatory requirements brokers should be aware of
  • How conclusions in the report can affect property value, liability, and deal timelines
  • Includes a brief introduction to the equipment and methodologies of Phase II Environmental Site Assessments. 

Each participant will receive a sample Phase I ESA report, including appendices, to use as a practical reference throughout the session. Stay informed, reduce risk, and add value to your client services by understanding the essentials of environmental due diligence.
