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: I plan on writing a personal check to the closing attorney for my house purchase. It that ok?
the answer: No it is not ok! In North Carolina attorneys are required to have good funds at closing. This means a certified bank check or a wire transfer. It is very important that you talk with your closing attorney to see what their policy is. Start this process well in advance so that it is not rush at the end. If the exact figure is not available when you go to get your check or wire use your Good Faith Estimate from your lender and add extra money for a cushion just in case. Any overage can be refunded to you at closing.

Upgrade your fireplace energy efficiency (StatePoint) Heating and cooling your home typically comprises nearly half of the average utility bill, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. While most homeowners know that insulating, patching and weatherizing can reduce heat loss, there is one major energy eater in your home that you may not have considered -- the fireplace. Traditional masonry style wood-burning fireplaces are a leading source of indoor air loss and draft, even more so than windows and doors. “Traditional wood fireplaces have a lot of charm, but unfortunately, they can be inefficient even when they aren’t in use,” says Becky Scribner, brand director at
Heat & Glo, a leading manufacturer of gas and wood fireplaces, stoves and inserts.
fireplace to help reduce the draft and add a nice aesthetic.
It’s possible to convert your fireplace into an energy efficient heat source with the following tips:
• Consider a gas fireplace insert. In addition to lowering your energy bills and generating more radiant heat, they’re cleaner to maintain -- no ash, soot, or smoke -- and are low maintenance, turning on and off with the flip of a switch.
• When your fireplace is not in use, make sure your chimney damper is closed. You may also install a flue sealer, which is an affordable, inflatable stopper that fits below the damper to further seal off the chimney. • Ensure your chimney and fireplace is inspected, maintained and cleaned annually. Hire someone who can do the job safely and thoroughly. • Add doors or a cover to the front of your
• For those who love the smell, crackle and process of building a real fire, don’t despair. Pellet and EPA-certified wood inserts can be an easy, clean and efficient alternative as well. In the pursuit of energy-efficiency, don’t say goodbye to tradition. Instead, give your fireplace a much needed upgrade.

Watch your home while you’re away (StatePoint) Ignorance is not always bliss, as parents, pet owners and homeowners know all too well. Whether you’re away on vacation and unsure if you left the lights on, at work and worried about the kids, or even sitting on your couch wondering what mischief the dog is up to in the yard, knowing what’s going on inside your entire home is crucial for peace of mind. Instead of worrying, be proactive. Several strategies, new and old, can help put your mind at ease. Tried and True Trusted neighbors can serve as a second set of eyes when you’re not around. You can even take it one step further and make them their own set of keys. If they’re friendly enough, your neighbors may even be willing to feed pets or help you out in other ways. You can also rely on your kids for regular status reports (if they’re old enough). Have them call you when they get home safely
and consider giving them some responsibilities, such as making sure the house is in order and your pets are safe and sound. Technology Innovative technologies are providing consumers with new ways to keep an eye on their homes. Such products have evolved and are now easier to use and more affordable for the average family. The Panasonic Home Monitoring System offers four distinct kits, each of which bundles different surveillance products together. Depending on your budget and required level of monitoring, you can outfit your home with tools like motion sensors, outdoor cameras and indoor cameras to monitor your baby or pet. Keeping tabs on your home from near or far is easy, as the footage can be viewed on your computer monitor, smartphone or tablet.
Some technology allows for remote control of home features like lighting and other appliances. Professional Services Even when you’re home to keep track of things, it’s tough to handle everything on your own. In certain cases, you may want to use professionals to help keep everything humming along. If doors jam and fail to latch or you notice cracks in your walls or floors, you may want to call a structural engineer to assess the strength of your foundation. Weeds encroaching on your prized tomato patch? Hire a gardener to fight off intruders or invasive species. A professional heating and cooling service can assess the condition of your air conditioning and heating systems, including inside vents and ducts where you can’t see. The health of your home is important, and sometimes it’s better to go with the hired hand.

Learn about science at playtime (StatePoint) Have any budding scientists in your family? If your children are fascinated by nature, dinosaurs and other cool science subjects, you can help foster their interests by turbo charging their playtime to fit their favorite topics. “Learning is not just for the classroom or a formal setting,” says Dr. Lise Eliot, early childhood development expert. “Teachable moments happen naturally every day, and you can create some of your own, too.” Here are some great educational playtime ideas for your budding paleontologists and naturalists: • Dino-mite Makeover: Transform your child’s bedroom or play area into a prehistoric retreat with dino clings on the walls, stencils, and dinosaur bedding. Help your child identify the different dinosaurs on each. • Field Trip: Visit the dinosaur exhibit at a local museum. Some museums even have sleepovers where kids can sleep under the dinosaurs! Or take a trip to the zoo or aquarium. It’s the perfect way to expose children to a wide variety of animals that may be new to them. Bring along a notebook and let kids sketch animals and make scientific observations about the animals’ behaviors. • Dinosaur-Themed Toys: “Toys can be so much more than a distraction,” says Eliot. “Look for toys that let kids play creatively and engage in imaginative play.” New innovative toys that let kids act out prehistoric scenes combine dinosaurs and vehicles, providing a 2-in-1 imaginative and stimulating play experience. A new dynamic remote control dino transforms with the push of a button and gets a turbo boost for a burst of speed. • Reading time: Foster a love of reading while encouraging kids’ natural wonder by visiting your local library and exploring subjects like dinosaurs, earth science and astronomy. By locating books that pique your kids’ interests, you can help develop a lifetime love of learning.

Meet your long-term diet goals
(StatePoint) The biggest hurdles to sticking to a new diet are convenience and flavor. Who wants to eat food that doesn't taste good or is hard to make? You and your family are more likely to stick to your commitments if the changes you make suit your schedule and your palate. Here are three easy changes you can make to your diet today: 1)Hydrate Yourself Water reigns supreme as the health drink of choice among nutritionists and dieticians. Most diet plans include the following crucial advice: Stay hydrated, but avoid sugary beverages. In addition to all of the critical functions water performs in your body, staying hydrated will help you feel fuller so you eat less over the course
of the day. But water doesn't have to be tasteless to bestow benefits. There are many virtually calorie-free ways to dress up water and add a hint of nutritional value: Add slices of strawberry or cucumber, wedges of lemon, lime or orange, chunks of watermelon or several sprigs of fresh mint or basil. Refrigerate until you’re ready to drink. Or get hydrated with green tea, which is loaded with antioxidants. 2)Snack on Bold Flavors Whether you’re on the go or at home, snack time can be a dieter's downfall. Rather than buying full-sized bags of high-fat snacks like chips, which are easy to binge on, opt for single-serving snacks that are wholesome and full of flavor. For example, olives in ready-to-go cups are a fuss-free way
to punch up the flavor profile of a meal or snack. 3)Make Friends with Fat A major mistake many dieters make is trying to cut all of the fat from their diet. Fat is a necessary component of any healthy diet. Monounsaturated fat, polyunsaturated fat and Omega-3 fatty acids should comprise the majority of the fat you eat. Great sources of healthy fat include olive oil, salmon, tuna, avocado, olives, seeds and nuts. Olives and avocados are fruit, so they also boost your fruit intake. Try tossing olives, canned tuna or avocados into a salad; sprinkle almonds or walnuts over oatmeal; swap commercially made salad dressings and marinades with good-quality olive oil and flavorful herbs and spices.
