ASK AN EXPERT Can a Home Inspection Help the Mortgage Process Along?

Today’s Ask the Expert column features Dan Steward, President of Pillar to Post Home Inspectors.

Q: Should sellers get a home inspection to help the mortgage process along?

A: If you’re a seller, it behooves you to get your own home inspection prior to putting your house on the market. But why spend money on one when the buyer will surely get their own?

Buyers that see a recent home inspection along with the listing sheet already realize that the asking price of the home is likely justified. They can rest assured that there are no scary surprises waiting for them upon closing. And you can hasten an offer by having that report right in front of serious buyers when they’re considering putting in an offer.

This also establishes a sense of trust between the buyer and the seller from the start. It shows the buyer that you care enough to get details and minor problems with the house detected and fixed before they even put in an offer.

If your home inspector shows you minor items that may come up in the buyer’s home inspection, you can have the issues looked at and repaired before the buyer even has their report done. You will have time for bids on a job instead of rushing to pay a

18TREB031_CL_Issue42_FullSizeFinal.indd 1

higher price for the work, or worse, having to deduct from the agreed upon price. In fact, you can show the report and a receipt proving the problem was already addressed by a licensed professional.

Having a good report readily available also shows the buyer that you’ve most likely been maintaining the property all along, which is another terrific plus when selling.

Mitigating risk is key when selling a home. Since laws regarding disclosures vary from state to state, for the most part, you as the seller are responsible even after a closing if something has been hidden or unreported to the buyer. Taking the time to find a reputable home inspector to perform your own inspection will allow you to have repairs made for a cost that suits your budget, instead of having to deal with credits the buyer may ask for as the result of their home inspection. By getting a pre-inspection, you have proof that home maintenance issues, to the best of your knowledge, didn’t exist at the time of sale.

The only instance when it may not pay for a seller to proceed with a pre-inspection is when they’re selling a fixer-upper. In this case, the buyer already knows what to expect, and they should have a thorough home inspection completed before signing on the dotted line.

SAVE MONEY THROUGH ENERGY-EFFICIENT UPGRADES As much as half of the average homeowner’s monthly utility expenses go toward cooling and heating, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). For many households, that makes energy the largest home-related expense each month, next to a mortgage payment.

Fortunately, numerous technological advances are making it easier than ever to manage home energy use. In fact, the DOE estimates you can save as much as 10 percent a year on energy costs by simply adjusting the temperature up or down when you’re away during the day. Installing a programmable thermostat that never forgets to adjust on a busy morning and kicks back on before you arrive home can help you earn these savings and reduce energy consumption.

18TREB031_CL_Issue42_FullSizeFinal.indd 2

6/29/18 8:10 AM

HOME AUTOMATION

Newer smart, programmable thermostats can be controlled remotely by internet-connected devices, such as tablets and smartphones. Some models can also monitor your energy usage and system efficiency, providing data to help you make further adjustments to how you operate your HVAC system.

Lighting is another major energy challenge. However, smart light bulbs let you adjust your home’s ambiance (and energy usage) with just a couple of quick taps. Paired with motion sensors that detect movement (or a lack thereof) and adjust lighting accordingly, smart bulbs can help reduce the waste of energy caused by lighting unused rooms.

Similarly, smartphone applications that connect to other appliances, utilities and home features offer the best of personalized comfort and convenience while providing tools to help minimize your home’s energy consumption.

RENEWABLE ENERGY

Another option to offset some of your home’s energy and utility costs is generating your own renewable energy through solar or wind power systems. Installation depends on many variables, such as how much energy you use, local codes and standards, and whether the house and surrounding terrain are situated to allow you to capture adequate natural power. For a home under construction, your builder should be able to offer guidance; for an existing home, contacting a local renewable energy organization or state office is a smart first step.

COST CONTROL

A state-of-the-art zoned climate control system can be configured to your specific needs, but all the customization options can make it tricky to predict how much your installation might cost. Taking into account these variables can give you a better sense of how much you’ll be spending.

NEW EQUIPMENT

Each system includes an outdoor unit, indoor unit(s), controls and parts including the refrigerant line-set, wiring and electrical accessories. Conditioning one room or zone comes at a significantly different price than cooling and heating a home with eight or more zones. Generally, new equipment comes in between $3,000-$15,000, depending on the number of zones and size of the home.

18TREB031_CL_Issue42_FullSizeFinal.indd 3

ZONED CLIMATE CONTROL

If you’re like most homeowners, there are parts of your house that simply don’t get much use or only get used during certain times of the day. Maintaining the temperature in those uninhabited areas can be costly and wasteful.

As an alternative, an option such as zoned climate control allows you to stay comfortable in the rooms you use without spending a fortune on energy bills.

While a zoned system is generally considered a premium home feature, it isn’t unattainable and actually offers longterm savings, due to its energy-efficient operation. The home is divided into zones, designated by floors, rooms or areas - however the homeowner chooses - which eliminate the “all on” feature of traditional air conditioners.

A system like Mitsubishi Electric Cooling & Heating’s Zoned Comfort Solutions offers a true zoning-system with convenient controls and automation, along with whisper-quiet operation. Both ducted and non-ducted units are available depending on the space and occupant needs. Additionally, some models have advanced filtration features to help eliminate allergens, contributing to improved air quality.

For a new build, installing a zoned system from the outset is relatively simple. However, zoned systems are also a possible solution for replacing your home’s HVAC system or rectifying a problem with a single uncomfortable room.

Pairing the system with sensors or remote app controls can bring operating costs even lower through computerized automation.

LABOR

This is what you will pay a licensed HVAC contractor to install the system (and remove your old one, if necessary).

Contractors’ labor prices vary widely, but expect to spend an amount roughly equal to your equipment cost, depending on your geographic location and the complexity of the installation.

UNIQUE SITUATIONS

Some homes, such as older homes, high-performance homes and homes in extreme cold-weather regions, often require auxiliary heat or specialized designs or equipment, all of which can impact the cost of the system. For example, with Mitsubishi Electric’s Zoned Comfort Solutions, 100 percent heating down to a 5° F outdoor temperature can be attained.

SEVEN R E A S O N S WH Y E S CRO W S FA LL O U T

By Barbara Pronin Let’s start with the contingency period every buyer has – usually 10 to 20 days at the beginning of a 30-60 day escrow. That’s the time when buyers should be nailing down their loan and making sure the property is what they thought it was when they made their offer. But they do have the option to walk away at will, which leads to reason number one: 1. The buyer gets cold feet – One option is to keep the contingency period short and work with the buyer and the seller’s agent to resolve contingency issues.

2. Buyer can’t get the loan – Experienced agents make certain the buyers are pre-qualified and specify in the contract that they have been approved for the loan. In fact, because ‘stuff happens,’ it can be a good idea for the buyers to have a ‘back-up loan’ in their pocket.

3. Inspection reveals a problem – Say it’s something the seller didn’t know about – asbestos in the ceiling, or a cracked firebox. Savvy agents keep a list of capable tradespeople who can do the repairs at a reasonable cost, which is often enough to save the sale.

4. The appraisal is low - There is little control over who the appraiser is, but the lender should help out, and the listing agent should meet the appraiser at the property to make sure he sees relevant comps.

18TREB031_CL_Issue42_FullSizeFinal.indd 4

5. Buyers can’t come up with down payment – Here again, the savvy agent would have done due diligence and verified the buyer’s source of funds. If the buyer has not demonstrated that funds are liquid and available, an offer shouldn’t have been made.

6. Buyer won’t prove ability to buy – In some cultures, it’s considered an insult to be asked to prove ability to pay. Experienced agents determine right away if this is a cultural issue or a negotiating ploy. Either way, the escrow should not have been opened until the issue has been satisfactorily addressed.

7. Buyer wants to renegotiate – This, too, can be a cultural issue with buyers from countries where contracts are not respected, and who try to re-negotiate at the last minute, thinking they have you over a barrel.

Knowledgeable agents address this early, making it clear at the outset that no request for re-negotiation will be accepted after the agreed-upon contingency period. Bear in mind that buyers never want a house as much as at the time they make an offer. It’s important to use that initial enthusiasm to make the contract as airtight as possible.

FIVE SMART WAYS TO AVOID A DELAY IN CLOSING

By Barbara Pronin Closing day is a red-letter day for buyers, sellers and their agents – the long-awaited time when final papers are signed, monies are disbursed, and everyone goes home happy.

In a perfect world, there would be no hitch in having funds wired from the bank. A cancelled deposit check would never go missing, and the moving van scheduled for Thursday morning would never need to be postponed.

But we don’t live in a perfect world, and seasoned agents know how vital it is to work with clients, lenders and closing agents in order to avoid delays.

“I never assume a closing will go smoothly until I’ve talked with my buyers, dotted a few i’s and crossed a few t’s,” said Kathy Murphy, a top-producer with CENTURY 21 Town & Country Realty in Royal Oak, Michigan.

With that in mind, here are five ways to avoid delays in closing: Preview the paperwork – If the buyers are obtaining financing, they receive their Loan Estimate within three days of sending in their loan application, and receive their Closing Disclosure three days before closing. Be certain they read them carefully, double checking the loan and down payment amounts, interest rates, etc., as well as all of their personal information. A minor discrepancy or a simple misspelling could cause a delay unless it is promptly addressed.

Read the preliminary title report – Request a copy and review it to be certain there are no “clouds” on title. Many issues, such as an unpaid contractor’s bill, can and should be easily cleared. Your buyers should understand that the title insurance purchased will protect them against any issues that may crop up later, but that the policy is effective only from closing day forward.

18TREB031_CL_Issue42_FullSizeFinal.indd 5

Sidestep last-minute mortgage issues – Check in with the buyer’s lender frequently to be certain no needed documents are missing and they are on track for the scheduled closing.

Resolve final walk-through problems – A final walkthrough with your buyers a few days before closing may reveal items that need to be resolved, such as a broken plate glass window or the light fixtures the sellers agreed to leave are missing. Work with the seller’s agent to determine the best and quickest way to resolve the problem, which could include the seller paying cash for repairs, or negotiating a credit for the buyer at closing.

Head off cash flow hitches – Be sure the buyers are aware of the escrow company’s policy regarding final closing funds. In most cases, funds must be wired to the escrow company the day before closing. Your buyers should be certain they have arranged the wiring instructions so that funds reach the closing agent in time. Take extra care to avoid the possibility of cyber-fraud by giving the buyer the phone number to the escrow company and reminding them to verify the wire instructions prior to authorizing their bank to send money on their behalf.

QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE HIRING A MOVING COMPANY

Moving can be a stressful, time-consuming and frustrating experience. The excitement of relocating to your new home can be quickly perturbed by the annoyances of moving day, which is why most homeowners choose to hire a moving company to do the job for them.

However, your personal belongings are important to you, and, as such, it doesn’t do any good to hire a mediocre moving team that might damage your delicate items, misplace or lose important things, or break irreplaceable heirlooms. If you’re new to the moving game, here are five important questions to ask any company you’re seeking to employ:

18TREB031_CL_Issue42_FullSizeFinal.indd 6

6/29/18 8:11 AM

Do you have any references?

No matter the job, references are a large part of what secures your trust and comfort in the person’s ability to perform the task effectively. When looking for movers, be sure to ask the company if they can provide references or a link to some reviews of their business, just to be sure they’re legit.

Ask friends or family in the area that you trust and have used a moving service; they might be able to give you a list of good companies from which you can start your search.

What specific services do you offer?

Moving companies vary in terms of what they’re willing to do for you. There are some companies that might refuse to move large items, and only provide the lifting and packing of smaller items.

Before you call a moving company, be sure to know exactly what items you need to have moved.

If you ask questions, and the response is anything but what you’re looking for, at the very least, you should look around for better options.

Do you offer in-home estimates?

Knowing what needs to be moved is one thing, but understanding the cost of labor to get the job done is another. Finding a company that will come out to your place and give you an estimate is a great way to compare different companies in your area, as well as provide a safeguard against possible price-gouging. Be sure to get everything in writing, and secure the departure and arrival dates to avoid any potential hiccups that may hinder your progress along the way. In-home estimates are also a great way to figure out if the company can move a larger item that may be in question.

Will you draw up an inventory of my items?

Apart from the cost of the actual move, this is perhaps the most important question to ask. Moving is not only expensive, it’s also the surest way to lose something you can’t replace. Finding a moving company that will create a detailed and organized list of your stuff will ensure that it all arrives safely and securely, and that nothing is lost in the process.

What happens if something is damaged?

You found a company you can trust and afford, but what will the company do if they accidentally break something of yours? Most offer optional coverage packages to repair or replace items that are damaged or broken. Unfortunately, the more complete the coverage, the more expensive it will be. But in the long run, the smart move is to get the best coverage you can for the items you’re moving, and feel the relaxation that comes with not worrying about your stuff. You also want to choose a company that is properly licensed and insured, and has proof of such.

PROPERTY PROFILES VS. PRELIMINARY TITLE REPORTS There are several steps in the process of purchasing real estate. Reviewing property profile reports and preliminary title reports is an important and necessary step, and it’s important to know the differences between the two products.

PROPERTY PROFILE What is a Property Profile?

A Property Profile report is a snapshot of the financial and ownership status of a property generated by customer service.

It can help determine: • The owner of the property • The loans and liens that may exist on the property

What is the benefit of a Property Profile in a real estate transaction?

Property Profiles are the quickest method of obtaining a cursory view of the property in question. Information is quick, but not vetted.

A Property Profile package typically consists of the following information: • • • • • • • • • •

Comparable market analysis Vesting deed/current owner Open deeds of trust/mortgages Plat map of the property Tax status for current year HOA liens City liens Solar agreements * UCC financing statement * Any other document recorded on the property

*When specifically requested.

PRELIMINARY TITLE REPORT What is a Preliminary Title Report (PR)?

A Preliminary Title Report is an offer to issue insurance. It’s a starting point for the title company to eventually issue a policy of insurance. It shows the full ownership of a specific parcel of land, with the liens and encumbrances thereon, together with recorded matters that will be expected from the policy of insurance if not addressed and removed before escrow closes.

Significant time, energy and resources go into producing a PR.

What role does a Preliminary Title Report play in the real estate process?

A Preliminary Title Report lists the conditions under which the title company will issue a particular type of title insurance policy. It shows if anyone, other than the seller, has a legal claim on the property.

The PR may be reviewed and discussed by the parties to the real estate transaction, providing the opportunity to seek the removal of items referenced in the report which are objectionable to the buyer prior to the transfer of title.

The Preliminary Report is not a written historical representation as to the condition of title and may not list all liens, defects,

18TREB031_CL_Issue42_FullSizeFinal.indd 8

and encumbrances affecting title to the land, it merely reports the current ownership and matters that the title company will exclude from coverage if a title insurance policy should later be issued.

A Preliminary Title Report identifies the following: • Title defects, liens of record or encumbrances that must be satisfied prior to issuing a title insurance policy • Legal and equitable ownership • Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) or recorded restrictions which have been placed in a prior deed or contained in recorded documents • Detailed easement information • Thorough real property tax information • Status of the property • Possible lien items that need to be cleared prior to the close of escrow Should you have any other questions about Property Profile or Preliminary Title Report, be sure to contact your local title insurance company.
