Green Philadelphia

Getting to Green. By making older homes and buildings more energy efficient, you make a smart investment. Buildings that save energy sell faster and for more money. They cost less to run--cutting your utility bills. They are healthier and more comfortable to live in--with less mold and fewer allergens...preventing drafts and hot and cold rooms.

Imagine showing buyers a home, and, along with the Seller Disclosure, there is a easy to understand "energy thermometer" rating the house for energy savings on a scale of 1 to 10.

My seller is meticulous and fastidious. She has things "just so" for each showing. I just got a call that the buyers for today's showing got stuck in traffic coming from another city. Their agent just sent me a text to say that they'd be an hour and a half late. NO PROBLEM. But THANKS SO VERY MUC...

Thank goodness the dark days of predatory lenders and risky financing seem have receded. My seller was shocked when HSBC turned up with two loans instead of one from back in 2000. Since then, the Justice Dept. has been working to straighten out companies that used to be known as Household and Ben...

Lots of sellers don't have $2,000 to $20,000 to get their homes market ready. Like it or not, in our post HGTV world, only foolish sellers say "AS IS" and do nothng. It doesn't cost anything to tackle the basics. This is the least a seller should do: #1.Be ruthless about getting rid of 1/3 to 1/2...
