in todays market, it’s important to work with someone who can appreciate everything a home has to offer.  As we live in an ever changing world, the scope of a home’s worth will change and it’s important that we change along with it.

One such change in home values is being driven by the need for rooftop solar opportunities because many homeowners want it or will want it in the not so distant future.

This will be challenging as most homes don’t get the sunshine they need to economically produce electricity using rooftop mounted solar panels.  And while it’s true you can often find the sunshine you need somewhere else, many HOAs have rules against setting up solar arrays in your yard.  Many HOAs will also have rules prohibiting rooftop solar installations that are visible from the street which means you aren’t putting them on the front side of your home either.

Because of the challenges associated with the economical production of solar energy, homes with good, rear facing rooftop solar potentials are beginning to rise in value.

This is slowly creating a new segment of the real estate market and with it comes a new kind of agent, one who understands that identifying unappreciated solar values in a home is the best marketing tool there is.
