3.14 Eco-Flip Debrief with Jenny Acosta

In the beginning, just because a lot of people, like I said before, a lot of people, they don't know, or they have not conscious of what's going on in the world, and how they can save money and electricity, gas, or the more healthy.

A lot of people aren’t sure. So I was a little hesitant in the beginning.  I said, how we're going to market this property and to get the price that we want. Because of course, to do those changes, we add more and more budgets, more money for budgets. Now we have to raise the price, the listing price, is no more budget.  In the beginning, so we were a little concerned, but everything came out good.  - Jenny Acosta

Jenny Acosta and I met through Women in Real Estate (WREN) back in 2018 as I was trying to learn more about flipping houses. My motivation was simply to create more green homes that I can sell as a Green Realtor.  Jenny is a successful real estate investor, who has been “flipping” homes in Los Angeles since 2015, now in Austin, Texas as well.  Over the years, I have talked to Jenny about doing her flip projects “green,” and we finally had an opportunity to collaborate on her most recent project to make a certified green home.  This conversation was recorded a few days after we closed escrow.  We discussed what we did, some challenges, and the outcome.
