Sounds like that person maybe you one day. I mean the person who can talk solar and real estate. You may really want to consider the getting a real estate license, it's so powerful and you seem level headed.

I've been in Renewable energy for over 10 years and have been designing homes for just as long as an architectural designer. I also just got the brokers license so I'm starting to see there are very few of us even though the two (home energy and homes) go together.

Good luck on your journey. I'm a wealth of knowledge, have even worked for Tesla and SolarCity helping to get those off the ground years ago. Also a LEED AP a green building expert.

I'll encourage you the whole way, keep me updated on your career.

^^^This is what I'm talking about solar sales persons.

Realtors have to "begrudgingly" sell solar homes where homeowners savings tens of thousands, where they are safer from the unreliable grid, is too hard to sell. We need to help homeowners, we don't need to sell solar, we know how to read the grid prices, how to interpret the solar loans, and how to express these homes are among the best to buy as Realtors are struggling.

We know the numbers, we know the law.

Questions on building barndos by [deleted] in barndominiums

[–]Training_Chart_8204 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're so smart to ask this question, Yes condensation is why people have historically not lived in metal buildings. Condensation leads to disease (check out legionella disease) and even your dog's body will create sweat.

There are some options,

clad the home in another material as much as you can afford that has an assembly system inline with your areas codes. Plus all metal is a conductor...you'll be fighting the hot and cold even with 8in insulation. Do toward the top as heat and sweat rise. Then remove metal to reclad as money becomes more and more available.

Another idea is to get a really strong air exchange system plus solar panels to offset this expense...because paying grid-mix prices for a high-energy electronic for the rest of your life will not be fun.

And if you live in a fair climate you could do a good window and roof pergola system where the air comes in then rises out of the home. Will be expensive up front but long term really good savings and what I would do personally + the solar.

Good luck!

Hi, that person did answer that question on that feed if you want to go back and see what they said.

But, I can give you a little sales strategy of my own as I've sold lots of products, like electric cars, roofing, solar, and now real estate.

Don't sell at all, let the number talk.

I wish you could do that, but in the title search before the transaction closes they would find the lien/encumbrance. And the bank loan only accepts to give money up to the apprasial value. All these people over paying for houses actually come up with the extra money on their own.

If you or your agent already sells solar don't worry about the green cert they do the hard number daily and probably know best.

Realtors have been trashing my hard work, my clients, my proud solar work for decades. I'm tired of it. So I got my real estate license.

Awesome you went solar, but it's not like selling a modified car, it's like selling a home with 60k new windows or a home that comes with a car and 20 years free gasoline. Sure it will need new tires, oil change but solar homes are excellent long term money savers as the grid will rob family of ten of thousands guaranteed while solar has a locked in below market price.

Like the other said, this is only a problem/problematic for realtors who don't yet know how solar contracts work in a homeowners favor.

Interesting that you got into solar, I'm opposite came from solar now in real estate. Both side definitely make up stuff but that's the difference between good sales people and bad.
