When Selling Your Home Can Help Save the Climate
Thinking of selling your home? We want to help you make it greener, healthier, and more valuable first.
Most homeowners don’t have the time, money, or appetite for a major retrofit while living in their house. That’s where timing, financing, and new technology come together to change the game — at the time of sale, when money changes hands and motivation is high.
Our system can make a deep retrofit of almost any home practical, affordable, and more sellable.
It's called the Green Legacy Fund. In our Minnesota proposal, we ensure that 40% of benefits flow to environmental justice communities while helping achieve statewide carbon-reduction targets. With pilot support, it can become a model for healthier homes, fair access, and a smarter, climate-driven housing market.
In short: Make it efficient now. Pay when you sell.
1) Build a Home Profile
Snap photos and enter basics by area (attic, walls, windows, HVAC, basement, bills). Your data stays yours.
2) Get a Smart Retrofit Plan
Our Green Home Score tool reviews your inputs, highlights issues, and estimates savings & carbon cuts.
3) Empower Action on Your Terms
Use the plan to get bids, capture rebates and apply for a Green Legacy Fund Loan (program pending approval). Choose the timing, contractors, and upgrades.
4) Pay When You Sell
No monthly payments. At sale or refinance, escrow repays the 0% principal and a small program/verification fee; any optional value-share applies only if a verified appraisal shows an increase.
