How to make being GREEN-easy and practical

The savings to you-when you take a few easy steps to be GREEN-are a plenty! We need to learn not to use our resources in such a way that they become depleted for future generations. One truth-up to 30%, on average, of our home's heating and air is wasted. This being said, I know-being a Realtor, there is alot I can do to help my clients save money, and make a difference to their environment-each and every day.

Here is a start-these are some of the best websites I have researched, thus far:

http://www.energystar.gov/

which offers guidelines for energy audits and managment, green constriction, and rebates.
http://www.fypower.org/

You can enter a zipcode and also search for local rebates, energy audits, etc.
http://www.cheers.org/

which stands or the California Home Energy Efficiency Rating Services-Rates and certifies home builders on energy-efficient construction.
http://www.green.car.org/

Provides information to homeowners, Realtors, and the general public on how to "green" their living spaces.
HTTP://www.easyecoblog.com/470/ways-to-save-energy-money-on-your-energy-bill

Will provide Hundreds of ways to save money and energy.

Is this a Bank of America Short Sale? Or a BLOODY nightmare?

Is this a Bank of America Short Sale? Or a BLOODY nightmare?
Someone has to do something about some of these Lenders that have no clue how to get a home sold!!!

And, that someone will be me! I am on month number 9 with B of A, and a first time buyer...the poor soul. They first appraised the wrong house...how the heck does that happen? Then they went ahead and approved the HUD statement...eventhough, they had foreclosed on the home 2 weeks Prior! Guess what? They didn't even know they had foreclosed on the property, and told Title they were wrong-and held to that stance even when Title showed them the County records reporting on the Property. Let's not mention-that it took them 3 months to figure out they appraised the wrong house...but, what does that matter-now that they foreclosed anyway? Why must we Realtors adhere to specific timelines, rules and regulations-and the Banks not have to do the same? It is time to write our Legislators as Consumers as well as practitioners in the business-we need to protect our clients' best interests'! AND, stop working for FREE! Agreed?
