Would any of your clients be interested in a home purchase option such as this? My wife and I, both Realtors, are about to begin a green remodel of a 70's- built Orange County (CA) tract home in largely original condition. Now a rental, it will be available for sale in a few months as a transformed, eco-friendly, energy and water-saving design exercise, remodeled inside and out. Sustainable and/or recycled materials and no/low VOC content paints and adhesives will be used throughout. Solar photovoltaic panels on the roof will produce most of the energy, while all new wood, dual-pane windows & doors, plus eco-friendly and healthy alternative insulation will conserve it. Both tankless water heating and low-flow plumbing fixtures, along with water-saving landscape design and irrigation will be featured. We plan to showcase the technologies, the products, vendors and the home itself to educate, inform and hopefully, excite visitors to both the home and its various media promotion sites. Once done, we plan to sell the home, repeat the process with the next remodel-ready home and grow the green homes consulting business associated with it. Your comments are welcome!
