MOUNTAIN VIEW REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL EARNS ECOBROKER® DESIGNATION. BUYERS AND
SELLERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONTACT FRANK SCHROETER FOR INFORMATION ON THE ENERGY
EFFICIENCY, "GREEN," COMFORT, AND HEALTH-RELATED FEATURES OF HOMES AND BUILDINGS.

Mountain View, CA - 03/05/2007 - Frank Schroeter of Fidus Brokers, Inc. in Mountain
View has earned the EcoBroker Certified® designation, having successfully completed
a unique and informative training program on the energy and environmental issues
that affect real estate transactions. Frank Schroeter joins the movement of
professionals pushing the real estate market toward energy-efficient, sustainable,
and healthier design/features in homes and buildings. The "performance home"
movement is getting a boost thanks to this type of high quality real estate
professional earning the EcoBroker designation. EcoBrokers®, like Frank Schroeter,
throughout the country are forging this market and creating competitive advantages
for their customers. With national surveys indicating that 80% of consumers
consider themselves "green-minded," real estate professionals with the EcoBroker
designation are in a better position to serve the real estate consumer. "I'm always
looking for the best ways to offer my clients the best value. My EcoBroker training
helps me ensure customer satisfaction, my number one priority," Frank Schroeter
explains. "From windows to moisture control to energy savings, I now have more
resources at my disposal to help my buyers and sellers make better real estate
decisions. The EcoBroker designation doesn't make me an energy and environmental
expert, but it allows me to better understand the issues and to convey this
understanding to my buyers and sellers."

EcoBroker International's education and designation program is designed exclusively
for real estate professionals who care about the environment and want to help their
clients benefit from the energy-efficiency, "green," and healthier features of homes
and buildings. EcoBroker provides a complete curriculum of energy and environmental
training to licensed real estate agents. Real estate professionals must complete
the extensive EcoBroker curriculum and training and fulfill additional program
requirements to become Certified EcoBrokers®. "Frank Schroeter is an example of the
quality real estate professional the EcoBroker designation continues to attract,"
explains EcoBroker International's CEO, Dr. John Beldock. "These real estate
professionals are not only distinguishing themselves in a competitive market place,
but they are really giving back to the community in very constructive and meaningful
ways. Mountain View needs more contributors like Frank Schroeter. The planet and
our grandchildren need them too," Dr. Beldock said.

From his Mountain View office, Frank Schroeter explains, "With EcoBroker
training, I have broadened the range of real estate opportunities I offer my
clients. Whether the transaction involves environmental assessment and mitigation
(mold, radon, etc.) or the opportunity to reduce utility bills, I'm in a position to
help. The real estate industry is changing, and to best serve my clients I need to
understand the newest designs, technologies, and environmental issues. My EcoBroker
designation helps me stay ahead of the game."

Frank Schroeter earned his EcoBroker Certified® designation in February and is
wasting no time in putting the tools and additional expertise to work. Frank
Schroeter has already found that being a Certified EcoBroker® creates added value
and customer satisfaction that sets him apart from other agents. For example, at a
recent listing presentation, Frank Schroeter was able to show the prospective
sellers how he can highlight the benefits of their energy-efficient heating system,
their upgraded insulation, as well as the waste management system. He also suggested
an inexpensive energy-rating test. His innovative energy and environmental
perspective gave him an edge in winning the listing. Frank Schroeter says he's
looking forward to continuing to positively impacting the quality, durability,
comfort, safety, and cost-effectiveness of homes and commercial buildings.
