My dad and I have met some wonderful and amazing folks during our real estate careers. Some are our clients and some are the various contractors and vendor's we meet. Last week, we sate down for an incredibly education lunch with Bradley Yoder from BuildSense.
Our stimulating topic was home performance. When buying and selling homes, Realtor's and consumers are usually focused on the value of a particular home and how functional and attractive it might be. Rarely do we have an opportunity to explore how hard a home works to make it's occupants comfortable, and whether that comfort is cost-effective. In other words, is the house drafty? Are their hot rooms and/or cold rooms? I know that in my house, the rooms directly over the garage are either too cold or too hot. And, until I spoke with Bradley, I thought that was just how my house was going to be.
Bradley and his company are able to review your home and provide a report that identifies areas in your home that might be altered to increase your comfort, often while decreasing your utility bills. Bradley has been doing some work on his own home to do just that.

While BuildSense can do so much more that just evaluate your home's performance, we thought that this was an important service to highlight for our readers. In a real estate market where many can't afford to build a new energy efficient, the opportunity to tweak the homes we live in to increase or own comfort is a great option!
