You can Receive up to $250 rebate when you order an Energy Audit!

This is a unique opportunity if you plan to purchase a home in the near future! This program will benefit anyone who purchases a home that may be older and less energy efficient. If you conduct an (HERS) energy audit within 60 days from your purchase, you can receive up to $250 in rebate for the audit cost. HERS energy audits can be costly, but worthwhile and receiving this rebate may make it even more worthwhile for you to do. Contact me for more information about this program. Enjoy! Crista J


C.A.R. offers new REALTOR® Energy Audit Program
C.A.R.’s Housing Affordability Fund (HAF) has launched the California REALTOR®’s Energy Audit Program (R.E.A.P.), a new program that provides rebates of up to $250 on Home Energy Rating System (HERS) home energy audits conducted by certified HERS raters. Home energy audits help homeowners identify improvements they can make to their home to reduce their monthly utility bills.

To qualify for the program, homeowners must:

• Purchase a single-family home in California between Oct. 1, 2010 and Dec. 31, 2011
• Use the home as a primary residence
• Conduct a HERS home energy audit of the home prior to close of escrow (as part of the Energy Efficient Mortgage*) or not later than 60 days after escrow
• Use a California REALTOR® in the transaction (referrals do not qualify)

Homeowners can apply for R.E.A.P. by requesting an application from their California REALTOR®.

*Energy Efficient Mortgage provides additional financing for energy upgrades to a home. Contact lender for details
