Myrl Jeffcoat did a great job on this post for Earth Day.  And energy audits are a great way to save $$$ not only in the winter, but in the summer, too.

I think Suzanne McLaughlin did a great job on this post.  It is clear, concise and lays out the scenario perfectly.  If you think that the listing agent will cut you a "deal" , you are wrong.  He or she likely won't represent you at all which could cost you thousands of dollars in the long run. P...
