Can Your Realtor Help You Go Green?

Jan. 2, 2013 - PRLog -- Finding your dream home can be a lot of work, and there are plenty of things you need to be thinking about while house hunting, from lighting and square footage to home inspections and price. Although you may have heard about “green homes”, it’s not always the first thing that comes to mind when you’re searching for that dream house. Fortunately for you, if you have the right realtor, you won’t need think about it. Jan Green is an experienced Scottsdale real estate broker who can offer green ideas for your home throughout the home-buying process.

Why Go Green?

Some people decide to make their home earth-friendly because they want to cut down on energy costs and reduce their overall carbon footprint. Others do it because it is a great way to save money on monthly bills like electricity, water, and other utilities.

Green Suggestions for Homes

Many home builders have begun to innovate with new, green additions to their homes, including geothermal and solar energy, low-flow water appliances, and low-e windows to seal in warm and cold air to ensure your heater and air conditioner are working at maximum efficiency. However, even if you’re in the market for an older home, there are still things you can do to make it more energy-efficient. An experienced Scottsdale real estate agent should help you identify “green” opportunities in every home, such as conducting an energy audit during inspection, discovering ways to budget and finance green energy improvements for a home, or adding solar panels to your home.
