I'd be very surprised if your clients responded "Oh my gosh. You can list my home as Sunshine Certified? I'll definitely go with you!" when you offered that service to them.<br/><br/>The program seems more like a gimmick to me. Who checks the property to make sure it meets the neighborhood criteria? And there doesn't seem to be much of a selection. A search for the Philadelphia area pulls up no results. I'm sure your clients would want to know that potential home buyers - and I don't mean "anyone" but the people most likely to purchase their home - actually visited the site you were marketing their home on. Otherwise, you're just wasting your marketing dollars that could be better spend through target marketing. A differentiating factor must be meaningful to your clients.
