Real Estate Agents - Help Your Home-sellers Increase Their Home Value

As a top real estate agent, you are in contact with homeowners looking to sell their home every single day. Unfortunately, one of the realities of the world that we live in today is that housing market is increasingly flooded with homes for sale, but there are fewer and fewer buyers because of our current credit crunch.

Homebuyers want more and more value for less and less money, and they want the house that they purchase to be as economically friendly and sound as possible without having to break the bank doing upgrades themselves. One of the biggest expenses that a new home buyer faces is the cost of heating their home and their water for domestic uses such as showers, laundry, washes dishes and the like.

There is a very simple way that homeowners can make their house increasingly attractive to potential buyers by increasing the property value of the home, and making the home more energy efficient than most other homes on the market today - Solar Hot Water.

Solar Water Heaters use the tremendous and unending power of the sun to heat water for your home. This hot water can be used for many domestic purposes. In fact, Solar Water Heaters can produce 60-80% of the hot water you need for everyday domestic needs like showers, washing you laundry, washing dishes, everyday grooming and cleaning, and much, much more. And, to maximize energy savings, a radiant floor or baseboard heating system can be installed in your home which can utilize the Solar Hot Water to provide up 100% of your home heating needs.

The addition of a Solar Water Heating System can provide an incredible boost in property value, and in many states, there are laws and regulations in effect that allow for this increase in property value without an increase in property taxes - which also helps to maximize the savings and value of adding one of these systems to a house that is being sold.

Here are the basics of a Solar Water Heating System - because, as a real estate agent, you are not likely to be an expert on Solar Energy.

There are two main types of Solar Collectors used for Solar Water Heating. They are:

• Flat Plate Solar Collectors - these collectors are typically low cost, and like traditional Solar PV Panels are flat, easy and quick to install, and in Southern, warmer, sunnier climates, are extremely efficient and cost-effective to install. The low cost of Flat Plate Solar Collectors make them the correct choice for climates where freezing and low-light levels are not an issue to be considered.
• Evacuated Tube Solar Collectors - in Northern, colder, winter climates, Evacuated Tube Solar Collectors are the correct choice. While these collectors are typically more expensive than Flat Plate Solar Collectors, the increased efficiency and performance in Northern, cold climates will more than make up for the increased cost in a short amount of time.

From the right supplier, a Solar Water Heating System can be purchased and completely installed for only a few thousand dollars. In fact, these systems are often cheaper to install than a new traditional oil or gas water heater. And because of the money saved in water and home heating costs, a Solar Water Heater will completely pay for itself in only 1 to 3 years (not counting the increase in property value).

If your home-sellers or potential home-sellers are looking for a tremendous way to increase the potential value and selling power of their home, A Solar Water Heater is an incredibly easy and affordable way to make any home more attractive and economically viable to today's money-smart buyers.
