A couple of years ago, I was working in real estate. When the housing market so difficult that I couldn’t make much money, I found a full-time job. That doesn’t mean that I don’t keep up with the industry. When I was a realtor, the main thing people were looking for was a great location. Everyone was looking for a home that was private and had a lot of land. The market has flipped around and people are now looking for something that is affordable. Most people look for something that is cheap and a fixer-upper, but they always want to have a good HVAC system. As long as there is a sound HVAC system in the house, it is always saleable. I still dabble in real estate in that I am now a consultant. People who are looking to buy or sell will come to me with their questions. I tell them that before buying, you need to question if the HvAC system has been cleaned and serviced on a regular basis. I told them to have their inspectors check to make sure the ductwork is clean and that the air vents have been kept clean. The HVAC system is a good indicator of how well the home has been cared for. If it is a seller that is coming to me for ideas on the pricing, I tell them that if they want to get a better price for their home, they should make sure their HVAC system is in good shape. If it is soon going to need to be replaced, they should never leave the job to the buyer.
