How to Make Your House Eco-Friendly Before Selling It

We Buy Houses in California: Buyers, especially in California are looking for homes which are not just clean and green but also help them lead a more economical life. In order to make your home more appealing and be a conscientious seller, here are a few suggestions you could incorporate to create a perfect model of sustainable development!

For your own family as well as the buyer’s, make it a point to apply for regional as well as national certificates such as the EPA’s Energy Star for homes. Refrigerators freed of CFC’s and HCFC’s are compulsory- so you must have certificates giving proof of this fact as well. If you can, try to source electricity bills from people you know who do not have as many energy-saving appliances as you have. Compare yours and their bill in front of the buyer and watch him become pleasantly surprised- after all, no one wants to close in on a deal unless they know they stand to gain something. Another useful tip is to invest in CFL’s or compact fluoro-carbons and substitute as many regular light-bulbs with these energy-conserving instruments. You could also consider installing programmable thermostats and motion detectors.

All plumbing, caulks and tiles should be tightly sealed and cemented, as the case may be. This greatly boosts the chances of any faulty insulation and also reduces your heating charges by a size-able amount. As far as bedrooms and bathrooms are concerned, a good, yet inexpensive suggestion is to have at least one small potted plant in each so that there is a constant supply of fresh air and pleasant green sights all over the house.

Use recycled paper for the brochures you will give your buyers. In a note behind the brochures, encourage them to do the same. A few days before the sale, start a small compost pit in your kitchen backyard and you may even manage to grow a small plant in it- inspiring buyers to carry on the good work! Most importantly, when you sell such a house, bring into the spotlight all that is energy and time-saving as well as economical in your house. Hard-sell your product and do so convincingly.
