Energy Efficiency in Real Estate - how can I help?

Jeff R. Geoghan strives to provide the very best in service and expertise possible to his customers. Whether you are looking to sell a home or buy your "dream home", Jeff Geoghan is the right choice. Also, Jeff is an agent focusing on ways to encourage the growth of "green building" practices and energy efficient homes, for greater environmental stewardship in the real estate process.

Throughout the United States, there is a rising interest in ways to beat skyrocketing fuel prices, live more independently of the "grid" and protect the environment of which we are all called to be good stewards of. The sentiment has even reached into the state and federal governments, who are now beginning to recognize this movement as "not going away" and are working on incentives to spur development. The good news is that homeowners have more resources at their fingertips that ever before, and that accomplishing the goals of independence, savings and environmental stewardship are more attainable than ever.

The Real Estate industry nationwide, however, has huge opportunities available to share these emerging and now-standard technologies with the home consumer. In the home sales process, little to absolutely no emphasis is placed on the energy consumption of the home or the degree to which "green" building practices are employed (in new homes especially). In our fossil-fuel world of central Pennsylvania, home sellers, buyers, builders and agents do not focus on doing things better & cleaner but take fuel oil, gas and grid electricity for granted even as these items rise in price constantly. There is a better way!

The mission of Jeff R. Geoghan, his partner firms and YourLancasterHome.com is to bring change to the industry in central PA by focusing on the ways Real Estate customers can save money, improve their lifestyle and reduce dependence on fossil fuels with their attendant costs. Through his affiliation with the Green Building Association of Central PA Jeff will help educate his clients on ways to improve homes through "green" projects, and inform buyers on the merits of different new home constructions. Through his affiliation with the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association, Jeff will help educate on ways to reduce energy expenses in the home, and to explore alternative energy options that are already available. Lastly, as an official Energy Star Partner Jeff will educate on the relative merits of appliances, insulation, lighting and other energy-saving strategies. Here at YourLancasterHome you will find benefits offered nowhere else in the Real Estate industry today.

With a solid track record of residential sales in and around Lancaster County, Jeff is well-placed to offer the top-notch service expected of a professional agent. If you, as a prospective home sales customer, are looking for the edge in energy management, Jeff stands alone as the agent of choice.
