HOMES BUILT TO LAST FOREVER

ENERGY EFFICIENCY, SMART HOME TECHNOLOGY & GREEN BUILDING PRACTICES

Green isn't just a trend; it's a movement. There are a variety of cost-effective ways to green your home and lifestyle that can actually SAVE you money. Whether you change one habit or your entire way of living, your actions can reduce your carbon footprint and make a world of difference in the long run. Green systems and materials reduce energy consumption, which in turn reduce your energy bills. They also increase asset value and profits and decrease marketing time; making your dollar go further for longer.

Want to live healthier? Green building isn't just good for the environment; it's also good for YOU. Sustainable design and technology enhance a resident's overall quality of life by improving air and water quality and reducing noise pollution.

​With the "normalization" of lending practices with crazy conditions like verified income, down payment and reasonable credit, the energy-efficient option creates more leverage. The EIM "stretch" allows a buyer to purchase more home for the money.

Psychology of Real Estate in 2019 & Beyond: Shifting towards Due Diligence and away from Short-term, Emotional Decision Making

Understanding the performance of the home before you consider buying it is pivotal so that you know what you are buying in terms of Energy & Utility Bills as well as Maintenance Costs and Safety Factors. Many homeowners complain of having to heat an entire house so that their bedroom is warm at night and a lot of money goes out of your investment like that. Doing a Home Energy Audit as well as getting a HERS and HES energy rating will give you a baseline of that homes performance and a roadmap to make it efficient. Another recommendation is to get your own Home Inspections for Roof, Home and Termite outside of the one that a seller will provide.
