VERIFYING THE PLUSSES

Today’s homebuyers know how costly it can be to heat or cool a poorly insulated property, or replace a faltering stove or refrigerator. Your home can appear extra appealing if it has recently been outfitted with some special energysaving appliance, or if your fuel or electricity bills are unusually low.

Sure, you can tell your Realtor about some salient plusses, additions, alterations or improvements but there will always be the skeptics. Here’s a hint that may be valid in your situation.

Put together any proof you have of how economical owning your house can be—a recent receipt for the new hot water heater, say, or last July's low electricity bill. Leave the papers out on the coffee table, or on a sideboard. If die prospect notices them and asks what they are, your agent can say, “Proof that you* won’t have to spend extra cash to live in comfort in this house.’’ Or the agent can refer to them if the prospect asks the kind of question that such documents can answer.
