Energy costs. Total cost of ownership. The hidden value a listing never shows. A Pearl Recognized Professional is trained to help you see what a home is like to live in — before you make an offer.
Most listings show you what a home looks like. They don't show you how it performs — what it's likely to cost to run, how it's designed for a healthy, comfortable indoor environment, or how its major systems may hold up over time.
Most agents aren't trained to have that conversation — not because they don't care, but because until now, the data has been too hard to find and compare.
Most buyers walk into the biggest purchase of their life with only what a listing shows them. A Pearl Recognized Professional changes that — bringing Pearl's home performance data into your search, and the training to make sense of it for you.
It comes down to three things:
A home's Pearl SCORE™ — performance information most buyers never see. How efficient it's likely to be, features that may contribute to a healthy indoor environment, and more.
The training to turn that data into plain language — what a home is likely to be like to live in, and the questions worth asking before
you commit.
The badge means an agent has completed Pearl's training on how to use our home performance data and tools — so you get someone equipped to put it to work for you.

A 1–1,000 rating across five performance pillars: Safety, Comfort, Operations, Resilience, and Energy. Pearl has scored every single-family home in America — the first comprehensive home performance database in U.S. history
Price, location, and finishes still matter. A Pearl Recognized Professional helps you see the rest — how a home performs as a whole. Look up any home's Pearl SCORE to start, and ask your agent if they're a Pearl Recognized Professional.
