How about a $250 Energy Inspection from a certified inspector, for $35? Why? My company and our inspectors are sponsoring this program to introduce our services to you. You can rate the home based on its energy efficiency and let potential buyers know how much money your home will save them. And not only will they tell your clients how and where to save money on green upgrades - but they will get all new bulbs for their home for FREE.<br/><br/>Homeowners: Read that last sentence...because that is value worth a couple hundred bucks for FREE. You don't have to be listing your home to get that, but it will cost you a little more than $35 bucks to have the certified inspector to go to the home. Should easily pay for itself.<br \><br \>2 replies Mon, 27 Aug 2007 06:26:00 GMT http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Using-Energy-Efficient-Checkups/4392/ 2007-08-27T06:26:00Z How do I track down the owner of a home?
