Get answers to legal questions about real estate ... Email your questions to reweekly@rewnc.com and we’ll get a real real estate attorney to answer them. Seriously.
the question: In the process of selling my house, at the last minute, the buyer’s dad enters the picture with a ton of requests and questions. The dad happens to be a real estate attorney in another state. Should I go through with closing or deal with the questions?
Real Estate Closings
the answer: A parent helping (or intruding) should not be the sole basis for not entering into a contract. I would encourage you to have you representation, both Real Estate Agent and Attorney deal with the parent. They will help shield you from an over bearing third party. You hire them for them for their professional guidance and to deal with people you would rather not.

Keep your New Year weight-loss resolution (StatePoint)New Year’s Resolutions are easier to make than to keep, especially when it comes to dieting. While life can often seem at odds with your health and fitness goals, there are plenty of ways to avoid common pitfalls this New Year and stay on the weight loss track. • Snack and drink smart: When you’re onethe-go, easy protein-packed snacks will help you stay on track. Try beef jerky, low-fat string cheese, or 100 calorie packs of almonds. Fiber-rich whole-grains, fruits and vegetables can also help keep hunger at bay. Calories from drinks add up fast. Stick with dry wines, as they often have fewer calories than sweeter varieties. Light beers, with approximately 100 calories for every 12 ounce serving, are also a good choice. If you prefer cocktails, use calorie-free mixers, such as seltzer with 1.5 oz. of spirits.
• Make it easy: Dieting should be easy. Most people often complain they fail at diets because they need to constantly count calories, or weigh and measure foods. Look for programs that help you stick to your goals by offering convenience and support. For example, Nutrisystem helps with the hard part -- the counting, weighing and measuring -- by offering pre-portioned and personalized meal plans designed to fuel individuals with the right amount of calories for how their metabolism burns, as well as satisfy individual taste. There’s no better time than now to start your weight loss journey and make your pledge to lose. • Eat out, right: Eating out is sometimes unavoidable. Just be sure to check out a restaurant’s nutrition information online
before you go, so you can make wise choices. Make substitutions like salad, with dressing on the side, instead of fries and don’t be afraid to ask if a menu item can be modified. Also, be mindful of portion sizes. Take half your meal home and enjoy it for tomorrow’s lunch. • Facing the scale: Weight fluctuates throughout the day. Weigh yourself at the same time of day in similar weight clothing to get the most accurate readings. Remember though, the number on the scale won’t always reflect your hard work. Focus instead on healthy, positive changes and how you feel. • Aim for 30: Squeeze 30 minutes of activity into your day. Walk during lunch, jump rope during your favorite nightly TV show or turn on music and dance around the house.

Be prepared & enjoy the outdoors year round (StatePoint) Just because the weather is cooler, doesn’t mean it’s time to hibernate. With the proper equipment, preparation and motivation, any time of year is the perfect time to get outdoors for an adventure. And you don’t have to look far for a great hike. Across the country, there are 59 gorgeous National Parks and thousands of state parks to choose from, comprising tens of thousands of miles of trails. Hitting the trail this season? Make sure you’re well-equipped to handle whatever comes your way. • Footwear: Your regular running shoes may serve you well on a gentle slope in the warmer months, but in cool weather at high altitudes, different precipitation and terrain may require something sturdier, more insulated and definitely water-
proof. Check the weather report and conditions of the trail before you go and outfit your feet accordingly. • Hydration: Don’t be fooled into thinking that staying hydrated is not important in cooler weather. As always, carry more water than you think you may need in case of emergency. If you’re hiking in more extreme weather conditions, you may need an insulated water bottle to handle the temperature. Look for options that are easy to carry and open so you don’t need to remove your gloves to quench your thirst. • Fuel: Whether you’re hitting the trail for a leisurely afternoon jaunt or you’re powering through a challenging climb, hiking burns calories, especially in colder weather, when your body expends energy trying to restore its natural body tempera-
ture. Staying fueled is important. Pack snacks that are high in energy, easy to eat and won’t weigh you down, such as trail mix or granola bars. • Useful tools: Whether you’re an experienced adventurer or a weekend warrior, the tools you choose should be welldesigned to handle your pursuits and enhance your experience. • First Aid: Even quick hikes require a basic first aid kit. Be prepared with bandages, antibiotic ointment, antiseptic, splinter removal tools and basic medication. There’s nothing like exploring the beauty of nature year-round. Just be sure to do so safely and wisely. By getting prepped with innovative tools and basic equipment, you can relax and enjoy the hike.

Saving for college is not rocket science (StatePoint) Planning for life’s major financial hurdles is critical and when it comes to college, a plan can have a dramatic influence on how families are able to finance a degree. That said, only 38 percent of American families today have developed a plan to pay for college, according to the 2014 “How America Pays for College” report by Sallie Mae and Ipsos. What’s more, only 40 percent of American families with college aspirations have a contingency plan in case of an unexpected event, which onethird of families typically encounter. For many families, creating a financial plan or even starting to save for college can be daunting. But those who do strategize a plan statistically borrow less, making it especially critical for families who have, or will have, two or three kids
attending college at the same time. Luckily, many resources are available to help demystify the process, and they’re free. For instance, many high schools have a career center and guidance counselors who can offer information about specific schools and scholarship opportunities. Online tools can also prove a valuable resource. For example, Sallie Mae has launched a suite of new, user-friendly tools, including a College Planning Calculator where families can create a customized plan to pay for college, as well as a scholarship database with more than $18 billion in combined scholarships. These tools are on the company’s new “plan for college” section of its website at Salliemae.com/planforcollege.
Mobile resources, such as the new app “College Ahead,” are specifically designed to help college bound students take the next step, providing an interactive roadmap for saving and planning for college. Lastly, families should consider applying for federal student aid on an annual basis, no matter what their financial status. To fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), visit www.FAFSA.ed.gov. It’s never too early or too late to start saving or planning for college. With 98 percent of families agreeing that college is a worthy investment, as much planning as possible can set families on the path to success.

(StatePoint) Millions of Americans endure the pain of chronic inflammation, and even when pain is not apparent, millions more run the risk of serious diseases triggered by chronic inflammation. “Almost all chronic diseases -from arthritis to heart disease to diabetes to Alzheimer’s disease -- have one thing in common: destructive, unchecked inflammation,” says Dr. Michael A. Smith, host of “Healthy Talk” on RadioMD.com and senior health scientist with Life Extension in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. “Certain lifestyle measures and the use of particular supplements, however, can help manage and reduce chronic inflammation.” According to Smith, here’s what everyone should know: Testing An annual blood test for C-reactive protein can detect potentially high levels of systemic inflammation that may be boosting your risk of a host of age-related diseases. If your Creactive protein level is over 1.0 milligrams per liter (1.0 mg/L), this likely indicates you have inflammatory activity occurring in your body and may be at increased risk for any number of serious medical conditions -the higher this number the greater the risk. Natural Extracts Mainstream medicine offers drugs that typically target a single aspect of acute inflammatory pain, and aren’t typically suitable for long-term use due to substantial side effects. Scientists, however, have identified three compounds -- curcumin, ginger, and turmeric oil -- that inhibit multiple underlying factors behind inflammation, safely reducing both chronic pain and long-term disease risk. “Numerous studies have confirmed that by targeting inflammatory origins, these natural extracts reduce the symptoms, risk profiles, and mediating factors of arthritis, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other diseases. And some of these effects are observable in a matter of weeks,” says Smith.
While you can find these compounds in certain foods, scientists have discovered a novel way to deliver almost seven times as much of
away from too many highly processed foods such as white breads and pasta, and foods high in saturated fat, sugar and trans fat. You
These steps can help reduce chronic pain
these three extracts to your bloodstream through supplementation. Healthy Habits Even light physical activity has proven benefits to reducing inflammation, according to a study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Incorporate exercise into your routine, even if that just means a daily walk. And inflammation is one more reason to quit a cigarette habit or avoid secondhand exposure, as it can be a response to smoking, according to Harvard Medical School’s Family Health Guide. Certain foods can promote inflammation. Shy
don’t need to sacrifice flavor, however, by loading up on herbs and spices. They are not only a low-calorie way to flavor your food; certain varieties even have anti-inflammatory properties. More information about reducing your risk for chronic inflammation can be found at www.lef.org/curcumin or call the toll-free number, 1-855-820-9479. To dramatically minimize cellular aging and risk for lethal age-related diseases, many doctors and medical experts urge taking action now to reduce chronic inflammation.

Enjoy stress-free mushroom dishes (StatePoint) Whether you have only a few minutes to put together a meal or days to prepare, mushrooms are a great addition for marvelous flavor and minimal fuss. The key is choosing the right mushrooms and herbs to suit your cooking method and available time. Here are some simple tips from the experts at Whole Foods Mar-
ket, to create memorable combinations in minutes: Only five minutes and no stove? Pair such mushrooms as white buttons, cremini or truffles with herbs like parsley, chives, tarragon or cilantro, to create a fresh salad or a relish to top on crostini, soup or baked potatoes. Fifteen minutes and a stovetop? Try mix-
ing fresh herbs like oregano, marjoram or sage with chanterelles, morels or oyster mushrooms with olive oil. Warm over a stove and in minutes you will have delicious sautĂŠed mushrooms. Thirty and a hot oven? Make roasted mushrooms by pairing portobellos, porcinis or shiitakes with rosemary and thyme, and your guests will sure to be impressed.
