Green Home = Your Gold
People often ask: "Wayne, why go green?" I always reply with the same enthusiasm: "You ignorant son-of-a-***, get off the planet, now!" Ok, I need a do over.
I'm often asked about the the effort required to adopt a lifestyle that promotes both environmental respnsibility and cost efficiencies. As a Realtor who counsels my clients on the biggest decision most make, buying and selling homes, it is a happy chore. The old adege; 'It costs money to make money', is spot on when it comes to greening our homes. Consider:
Green is the new gold for outfitting a home
Energy efficient homes sell faster and for more money
The market for greening homes is estimated to grow from $2B TO $20B in 5 years. I think it will be more.
Want an edge? - 54% think greening is too expensive; 15% have no idea where to start.
Greening a home is a huge opportunity on so many levels:
Great return on investment when selling
Energy, water, indoor air quality efficiences
With attendant cost savings
Enhanced home comfort
Energy Star appliances pay for themselves in a short time
You save the world, kids are happy, and you're famous
I have in my possession the "Energy Conservation Kit". 40 pages. Get it. Get it now. Makes a great Xmas gift! I'm shameless.
