here are a lot of ways to help make a brand-new home as energy-efficient as possible. To wit: “Maracay defines energy efficiency as reducing energy use and energy loss in a home,” explained Rashel Beaver, Maracay’s product development specialist and LEED Green Associate. She said Maracay builds homes as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)certified homes. A LEED home is “exemplary in energy efficiency, water use, air quality, building materials, land placement and use, as well as one that is green from top to bottom, inside and out.”

Kevin McAndrews, president of KB Home’s Phoenix division, said that his company makes sure homeowners are able to create a personalized home “that fulfills their dreams while saving natural resources, reducing carbon emissions and making the total cost of homeownership more affordable through lower utility bills.” Meanwhile, David Everson, CEO of Mandalay Homes, said that Mandalay utilizes insulation techniques to seal each home as tight as possible “and then we install an ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) that provides fresh filtered air 24/7.”

“There are things that seem small — the way walls are framed, the way insulation is installed, the way pipes are located and insulated — that will determine if a home will truly be energy-efficient.” —Rashel Beaver, Maracay Homes

ENERGY STAR® An ENERGY STAR-certified home meets the Environmental Protection Agency’s strict energy-efficiency performance requirements by incorporating advanced science-based construction techniques. McAndrews said KB goes beyond the EPA requirements by ensuring every new KB home has been tested and verified by a third-party inspector to meet the EPA’s strict certification standards, while Beaver pointed out that each Maracay home receives a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) score if pursuing an ENERGY STAR certification. “A home energy rating involves an analysis of a home’s construction plans and onsite inspections,” Beaver said. A HERS score of 100 or lower means the home’s energy systems meet the current building code. The lower the number, the better the score. Better building codes Building codes are ever-evolving, Beaver said. For example, in 2012, specific air-sealing guidelines were established, stricter building air-leakage rates mandated and compliance inspection and testing were made a requirement. “Over time, the requirements have become more stringent,” she said.

Situated in Cave Creek with panoramic views of the McDowell Mountains, this luxury gated neighborhood is secluded but close to plenty of shopping, dining and entertainment venues. Located on estate-size homesites, homes include smart technology, energy features and plenty of personalization options.

ESCROW: When you make an offer on a home, you submit earnest money that will be placed in “escrow.” It is held by an impartial third-party until you and the seller close the deal. You can’t touch it; the seller can’t touch it. [Deﬁnition adapted from Zillow.com]

Q A

What is an ‘escrow ofﬁcer’?

When a buyer and seller go under contract on a home, one of the first steps is to open escrow with an escrow officer. The purchase contract will list the earnest deposit amount and the name of the title company that will handle the escrow. The escrow officer is employed by the title company and represents a non-biased third-party that is responsible for controlling the funds listed in the purchase agreement.

Who pays it?

The buyer will submit the earnest deposit to their realtor and it goes to the title company. The escrow agent will set-up the escrow account.

Who holds the money and how/where do they hold it?

An escrow is controlled by a thirdparty (title company) and they regulate the funds for the transaction.

Why is escrow important in a new-home transaction?

An escrow is important for newbuild homes because the escrow agent is responsible for keeping track of all funds that a buyer gives to the builder and reconciling the transaction when it is time to close.

Q A

What does ‘closing of escrow’ mean?

An escrow closes when all funds have been disbursed and the purchase has recorded with the county.

What is valuation?

Moving companies typically provide different levels of coverage for lost or damaged items. Moving companies are not insurance companies and cannot represent themselves as insurance companies. Basic valuation [check with your moving company for the exact cents-per-pound coverage] is no additional cost but is very limited coverage and whereby the shipper shares in the risk with the moving company. Full Valuation Coverage (FVP) covers the actual cash value of the item,

Storage-in-transit (SIT) refers to the time and costs to temporarily store a shipment for a shipper. This accounts for receiving a shipment into storage, storing of items and [moving them] out of storage.

Explain interstate, intrastate and local moves.

Interstate refers to crossing state lines/boundaries with a shipment. Rates/charges will be stated in a company’s tariff as required by law. Intrastate refers to a move outside the local area but within the same state. Requirements for publishing these rates vary from state to state; there is no requirement to do so in Arizona. Local refers to a move completed within surrounding cities. Rates are typically billed on an hourly basis. Requirements for publishing these rates vary from state to state; there is no requirement to do so in Arizona.

Q A

When are peak season moving rates applicable?

Peak season in Arizona can be considered from April to September. Peak season in other states in large part is the same but may be condensed to May to August as weather permits a shorter optimal moving season. May is considered "National Moving Month" industry- and country-wide. Peak rates themselves will largely be similar for interstate moves but will vary from state to state as hourly rates will fluctuate.
