Having been born and raised the idea of Green Living is not a new concept to me.  However, wanting to live greener and knowing "how" can be elusive.  In an article I recently read, it shares tips of improvements to make your home greener on projects under $300.  I am hoping in future blogs to share more insights.

Receiving responses from nearly 1,000 real estate agents and brokers nationwide, HomeGain configured a list of the top nine do-it-yourself (DIY) Green home improvements that cost under $300 and that benefit sellers most when they sell their homes.

The top nine Green home improvements that real estate professionals recommend to home sellers based on cost and return on investment to the sellers include:

1. Plant trees and shrubs
2. Replace air filters
3. Green home staging
4. Weather strip and caulk doors and windows
5. Install programmable thermostats
6. Install low flow shower heads
7. Use auto turn-off power strips
8. Install CFL or LED lights
9. Paint with low VOC paint
