Forced-air furnaces, carbon monoxide Dear Barry: We recently read about a man who changed the filter in his furnace and did not replace the cover on the filter compartment. As a result, he reportedly died of carbon monoxide poisoning. This concerns us, because we've had some trouble fastening the filter cover on our furnace and have found it detached on two occasions. If furnaces are so inherently unsafe, how

stalled and maintained, are wonderful. When they are not well-maintained, serious problems can occur. The problem you describe applies to forced-air furnaces installed in small enclosed spaces, such as closets.

The blower compartment in a furnace, where the filter is commonly installed, is like a large vacuum cleaner. It contains a blower motor that pulls the air from the inside of your home. The air is then heated and blown back into various

rooms of the house.

When the cover on the blower compartment is not securely fastened, this vacuum effect pulls air from within the closet. When this happens, it can also draw combustion gases from the burners and the exhaust flue, and this can expose the occupants of a home to carbon monoxide, an odorless but deadly gas.

To eliminate this hazard, newer furnaces are equipped with a safety shutoff switch. When the access cover is removed, the switch is released, and the furnace will not operate until the cover has been reinstalled. Unfortunately, many older furnaces are not equipped with a safety switch. If your heater is one of these old-

er models, you can have a safety switch installed by a licensed HVAC contractor. The cost to have this done is minimal.

For added protection, be sure to install carbon monoxide alarms near all bedroom entrances, with at least one alarm on each floor of your home.

Dear Barry: When we purchased our home, our agent seemed displeased with our choice of home inspector and convinced us to use someone else. Now that we own the house, some problems that were not disclosed have come to our attention, and we're sorry we didn't stick with our original choice. The inspector we had chosen has a reputation for being very detail oriented, but we did not hire him because he was said to be an alarmist. Now we're stuck making expensive repairs and hope you might warn other buyers against making the same mistake we did.

Dear Hal: Some home

inspectors are highly qualified and competent, but some are not.

Likewise, some real estate agents recommend highly qualified home inspectors, but for various reasons, some do not.

Some agents recommend mediocre home inspectors because they don’t know the difference, or because the inspector is a nice person, or because the other agents in their office recommend that inspector, or, dare we say it, because the inspector does not disclose too many defects that might jeopardize the deal.

One of the biggest mistakes an agent can make is to dissuade clients from hiring the home inspector of their choice. In so doing, the agent can be liable for undisclosed defects. If you decide to press the issue, your agent may now be subject to that kind of liability.

Save energy, money this holiday season

T

he holidays are a wonderful time of year to gather and celebrate with family and friends. This time of year is also when expenses can soar, especially utility bills. Thankfully, Chip Wade, HGTV(R) expert, has some advice on how to can save energy, and, ultimately, money, this holiday season: • Holiday lighting: Using ENERGY STAR certified decorative light strings will use 75 percent less energy than conventional incandescent light strands. Want to save more energy? Use a timer for your lights to control when they will turn on and off.

• Prevent heat loss: Find and seal air leaks in the home. "Areas around windows and doors are often culprits for allowing heat to escape," saidWade. Use caulking or weatherstripping to seal these leaks and keep the heat inside your home.

• Maintain the heating system: Be sure to sched-

Buyers, sellers: Be aware of overpricing dangers Question :

I am going to be selling my home and I have spoken with a couple of agents. They all say the same thing — I should not price my home too high. I know how buyers are and I want to leave some negotiation room to come down in my pricing so the buyers can feel they have achieved a good deal. The other thing is I do not have to sell, but I would like to.

May I have some advice on this topic?

Answer:

Selling a home today and bringing it to the closing table may sound easy, however there are

Kari McCoy The Real McCoy

many hurtles and aspects to get through besides the asking price. To begin with, the asking price of your home has nothing to do with what you paid for it, or what you think it is worth. It is understandable that for some sellers it is difficult to hear a lesser price on their home as they have most often have emotional ties. Perhaps a seller has made a lot of improvements or

The best advice is to find a good professional Realtor you trust with a good marketing plan. upgrades (costing high dollars), but this will not bring a return of the money on the housing market at all. In addition, buyers are compassionate shoppers; they do not want to make a mistake such as overpaying.

Buyers know what other homes in the neighborhood have sold for along with all the particulars of each home. Most buyers are prepared to purchase

Sierra Pacific Real Estate

and are pre-approved with a lender, which gives them the upper hand of feeling that they are in the driver’s seat.

If a home is overpriced, it is most likely the agents who will not want to show your home because the agents only get paid for homes they sell, not show. Agents may also think if the asking price is too high, then perhaps the sellers will be difficult to negotiate other aspects of the sale process with, or may not be reasonable with any possible needed repairs.

Some agents will show an overpriced home only to use your home as a comparison to the new

well-priced home. This is used to then get a fast sale.

Even if a seller does have all the time in the world to sell their home, know that the clock of days on the market is ticking against them. If a home is on the market too long, then the agents along with the buyers will wonder if something is wrong with the home or property.

The first question from the buyers as they enter the open house is “how long has this home been on the market?” Buyers are emotional too, and do not want to feel they missed out on a good deal, nor do they want

to buy a home that hundreds of other buyers have passed on.

Good agents will tell their buyers honestly which homes are overpriced. Good agents want to be the buyer’s hero. This is so they will tell their family and friends to use them too.

If you do obtain a sale keep in mind that the buyer’s lender will send out the appraiser and the lender is only willing to lend on a well-priced home. The appraisal report must provide documentation of several similar homes being sold and have closed escrow to support the buyers and sellers agreed upon

price or no loan and no deal. This is used by some buyers who know a home is overpriced and will ask you to reduce it later once in the sale.

This is not a good practice because at this point perhaps the sellers have made other plans counting on the higher sales price that will most likely not happen later in the process.

Some extra tips for selling are: • Make showings easy for agents and their buyers. We live in a “now” world. Agents have been known to easily pass on a home that is difficult to view. They may also equate this in their mind that this may be a difficult seller to work with in other areas of a sale.

• Keep your home neat and clean along with considering having some

professional staging.

Your home is just one of the several offered for sale.

• Make necessary repairs upfront because this will make the buyer feel more secure with the rest of the condition of your home.

• Use professional pictures because 90 percent of buyers shop online to select what homes they wish to see.

The best advice is to find a good professional Realtor you trust with a good marketing plan.

Ask her or him to go over the comparisons in your neighborhood and help you select the highest list price that will cause your home to sell.
