parkesburg: Environmentally Friendly Real Estate - 04/09/07 08:28 AM
 
 A recent encounter with a client helped to drive home the fact that much has changed since the 70’s.
This young man has a good education from a top-notch school and a good job with a growing company. Each home that we looked at was examined for site orientation, but that was all! It turns out that his father had built a “passive solar” home many years ago and so, now, southern exposure was important to him.
He decided which of the many homes he looked at would be HIS first home, and at the walk-through we had a few … (6 comments)

parkesburg: Fluorescent Bulbs and Tankless Heaters - 03/26/07 12:32 PM
janeAnne’s blog, 10+ Simple Retrofits for Older Homes , inspired me to write a little about adding energy efficient features to older homes.
Yes, as janeAnne mentioned, I do have the ancient fluorescent bulb. It’s a “60 watt” screw-in version and works as well today as it did 13 years ago. When we moved  18 months ago a couple other bulbs the same age were left behind. It joins about 12 newer bulbs, both “60 watt” and “100 watt.” I use them wherever I can. My children recently had a laugh at my expense when I installed a new dining … (4 comments)

parkesburg: “I Like Her Picture” and Other Silly Things that Sellers Say - 01/26/07 08:32 AM
#1  "I like her picture! Let's hire her"
Just because she's a great-looking gal, or he's a dapper dude, doesn't mean she or he should be the one to sell YOUR home. (OK, good looks can't hurt, but that shouldn't be your FIRST reason for selecting a real estate agent). Experience, knowledge, and wisdom will work a lot harder for you than a pretty face.
#2  "I want every thin dime that I can squeeze out of my house."
You SHOULD get a fair price for your home, but over-pricing can push you out of the market. If three similar houses are … (3 comments)
