As we approach the winter season, our region’s weather will continue to have an impact on your ability to keep your lights, wifi, home office and all those streaming apps running strong. In this video, we walk you through some of your options whether you're rural or downtown, the ability to go off grid and utilize some alternative power sources is now at your fingertips.
In this section, we have some links to resources to find out the best option for you:
Solar Power Storage

House-Wide Power Generators
If you go the solar route, make sure to take advantage of the tax credits offered. In December 2020, Congress passed an extension of the ITC, which provides a 26% tax credit for systems installed in 2020-2022, and 22% for systems installed in 2023.

And for all those buyers and sellers out there, you’ll now have an idea of what to look for and consider as you get ready to enter the market as these types of power-based amenities add quite a bit of value to a property. We love to provide those entering the real estate market with resources and along those lines, we always like to include links to our MORTGAGE + HOME VALUE CALCULATORS, UP TO THE MINUTE LISTINGS, plus our READY TO SELL program that allows sellers to update their home, inside and out, with 0% financing that’s paid back through proceeds of the sale when escrow closes.
Thank you for letting us be your local real estate resource,
