I guess I should have known how important new HVAC technology was to selling a home.
Obviously, technology is what drives our culture these days.
So of course, HVAC technology is something that prospective home buyers want from a home purchase. I guess perhaps I’m a bit old fashioned when it comes to getting the most out of stuff like an HVAC unit. My wife and I just finally couldn’t resist cashing in on the recent real estate market. We just didn’t know when or if our house would be worth as much later down the road. So we decided to pull the trigger and get the house listed. When the realtor came over, she was actually very helpful and kind. I like the fact that she was coming from a place of respect when pointing out things that needed to be done in someone’s home. This was a place that we had lived for more than 20 years and were very attached to. So I appreciated that sort of approach from the realtor when it came to being respectful of our home. Most of her suggestions were immediately recognized. But when she started talking about replacing the HVAC unit, I pushed back a little bit. Our HVAC equipment was not quite even fifteen years old at the time. But of course, so much had changed when it came to HVAC technology in those fifteen years. Again, we lucked out with such a great realtor because she showed us the data that proved how important new HVAC technology was. I’m awfully thankful I didn’t let an HVAC unit cost me ten thousands of dollars on a home sale.
