Many of your clients want to upgrade their home or commercial space to be more energy efficient. But the question is: What do they need to invest in to achieve that goal? Should they replace all their windows? Purchase all-new Energy Star appliances? Install a new HVAC system?
Location is a determining factor when deciding which green upgrades will earn the greatest return on investment. But there isn't universal agreement. For example, while 36% of REALTORS® say solar panels increase the perceived value of a property, 30% say they have no effect, according to NAR's 2023 REALTORS® and Sustainability Report. So, how should you advise clients who are considering energy efficient property updates?
Two REALTORS® who work in the sustainability space in their markets share insights into how they help clients with their energy goals.
