Tips to attract the eco-consumer

1. If buying appliances for a home to sell, think Energy Star first. Energy Star appliances leave less of a carbon footprint and save money. If you have to replace appliances choose ones that appeal to both types of consumers – save money AND are better for the environment.

2. Replace your thermostat with a more energy efficient one – this tells buyers that this home conserves energy. Thermostats that adjust temperatures even a few degrees while you are away will save you money during the selling process, but give buyers the knowledge that energy is not wasted.

3. Make your yard a thing of beauty with earth friendly mulch, use rain barrels to capture rain and use this to water the yard and plants keeping everything lush and green. Think alternatively of chemicals when working in the yard, there are lots of green alternatives to pest control, weed control and fertilization!

4. Choose no or low VOC paints for touch-ups. The odorless paint is easy on your indoor environment that buyers will appreciate.
