the question: The Seller cannot do repairs we want done to the house prior to closing. Can we get a direct credit from the Seller on the settlement statement at closing?
Real Estate Closings
the answer: Probably not, almost all lenders will NOT allow a direct credit from the Seller to the Buyer on the settlement statement. Try to negotiate some Seller paid closing cost in the contract to offset the cost of the repairs.

Wedding photo trends likely to last (StatePoint) Who hasn’t seen a lineup of baby blue tuxedoed groomsmen on the mantle of an older relative? While some matrimonial trends thankfully expire, there are some newer ones that may be here to stay. Here are three worthwhile developments in the world of wedding planning that have taken hold in the past few years: • Personal training: Many fitness clubs offer personal training packages for
engaged couples. Working out together is a great way to get in shape for your big day and beyond, de-stress during a stressful period, and start your marriage off on a healthful note. • Wedding websites: Want to communicate fluctuating information about accommodations, your registry and more to your guests? The best way to give your friends and family all the pertinent details they need to help you celebrate is through a wedding website. User-friendly
hosting sites can make creating your site easy, no matter the extent of your design skills. • Photojournalism: While posed photography likely will never go out of style, many couples are opting for a more photojournalistic feel to their wedding album. Whether sepia-toned, black and white, or full color, wedding photos are taking on a more kinetic feel that can truly showcase a couple’s personality.

Learn more about wine in 2015 (StatePoint) Have you always wanted to learn about wine? In 2015, consider expanding your knowledge of wine as a great New Year's resolution. Christopher Silva, CEO of St. Francis Winery in Sonoma, CA, offers the following tips for wine newbies and enthusiasts alike to get started on getting to know wine better in 2015: • Join a club. A wine club, either through specifically one winery or company that features an international selection, is a great way to have a variety of hand-picked, quality wines delivered to your doorstep. Whether you decide to stick with one varietal or try many, a wine club can cater to your wishes or help you expand your horizons wisely. • Take notes. Sipping on some vino? Record your impressions of the flavors in a “wine diary.” Remember to clear your palate first with something neutral, such as crackers. You’ll know whether to revisit the wine in the
future, as well as learn to become more mindful of what you’re drinking. • Seek variety. For a broad overview of wine, it’s important to become familiar with the major varietals, which for white wines include Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, and for red wines, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfadel. Here are three new wines to try this year: Versatile as an aperitif or with a variety of seafood and light meats, St. Francis Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc 2013 is a refreshing vintage wine with a clean, crisp structure and aromas of citrus, kiwi and mango with a touch of lime. Next up, St. Francis Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 has a rich, complex flavor and body. The wine’s firm structure, generous tannins and depth of color complement classic aromas and flavors of black currant, cassis, dusty cocoa and tobacco. This wine is an
excellent companion to aged blue cheese, braised or grilled beef and roast pork with fruit. Looking for an American classic? Try Zinfandel and St. Francis Sonoma County Old Vines Zinfandel 2012, which is made from dry farmed old vines to ensure concentrated flavor. Aromas of boysenberry, clove and cinnamon are followed by flavors of mixed berries, red licorice, tobacco leaf and mulling spices. Pair with barbecued ribs and pasta Bolognese. • Travel. Go right to the source and consider planning a trip to wine country. Many vineyards host tours, have tasting rooms and offer education programs. A winery is also a great place to find top notch wine pairings. For example, the St. Francis` Wine & Food Pairing program, awarded the "Number One Restaurant in America" by OpenTable, is a seated, multicourse pairing hosted by wine experts.

Jan. is National Radon Action month As colder weather moves in with the changing seasons, households throughout North Carolina will be closing doors and windows to keep in the heat. It is an excellent time to make plans for home radon testing.
stage lung cancer are expected to live no more than five years after diagnosis. The Radon Program, part of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, provides information to
Radon is the odorless, colorless gas that is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Each year up to 22,000 deaths in the U.S. are attributed to radon-induced lung cancer. Roughly 54 percent of those diagnosed with early-
families and homeowners about radon gas. Information includes how to test for radon gas and how to lower the radon levels within a home. Lowering the radon levels in a home lowers the risk of lung cancer.
Eighty-three agencies and organizations across North Carolina are partnering with the Radon Program during January National Radon Action Month - to provide free short-term radon test kits. Limited supplies of test kits are being made available locally at each of the sites, listed on the Radon Program website: www.ncradon.org. Nearly 7,000 kits are being distributed statewide. Only one kit is needed per home to determine if your home radon level requires action. The Radon Program also offers the free kits via its website. Once the supply of free kits has been exhausted, the Radon Program website will provide radon test kits at a reduced cost of $5.34 while supplies last. Kits cost about $15 at retail outlets. The program's website includes a new radon map application. The application provides information about the number of tests that have been conducted within a zip code as well as the highest radon level recorded in that zip code. The app also links to a list of certified professionals who can assist in testing or fixing the radon issue in tested homes that return readings above a safe level. Costs for lowering home radon levels average about $1,500. The N.C. Radon Protection Section provides information on its web page for families who may qualify for financial assistance to meet that expense. For more information visit www.ncradon.org and select Financial Assistance from the navigation aid in the left margin.

NC marks five years smoke-free It’s the fifth anniversary of North Carolina's smoke-free law which prohibits smoking in enclosed areas of most restaurants and bars, with limited exceptions. The health outcome results for this law are significant and impressive, especially in such a short period of time, according to Ruth Petersen, M.D., M.P.H., chief of the Chronic Disease and Injury Section of the N.C. Division of Public Health. "During the first year of the law, North Carolina saw a 21 percent drop in average weekly emergency department visits for heart attacks. Further studies demonstrate the law has improved air quality in North Carolina restaurants and bars and reduced emergency department visits for asthma attacks." An additional benefit of the smoke-free law is
the reduced exposure to secondhand smoke, a known risk factor for cancer, heart disease, stroke and asthma. In 2006, a report issued by the United States Surgeon General stated that scientific evidence indicates that there is no risk-free level of exposure to secondhand smoke. "The smoke-free law was an important milestone for North Carolina," said Cumberland County Health Director Buck Wilson, incoming president of the N.C. Association of Local Health Directors. "The law changed the way we look at smoking and secondhand smoke. It's hard to imagine going backwards; people in North Carolina really enjoy their smokefree restaurants and bars." The North Carolina Restaurant and Lodging Association (NCRLA) worked to help pass the
statewide law, which not only prohibits smoking indoors in virtually all restaurants and bars, but also specifies that no more than 20 percent of a lodging establishment's guest rooms may be designated for smoking. "NCRLA is proud to support this initiative, which improves the health and well-being of North Carolina hospitality patrons and employees," said NCLRA President and CEO Lynn Minges. "The smoke-free law has helped create a safer, more pleasant atmosphere in our state's bars and restaurants without harming our industry's bottom line." The N.C. Department of Health and Human Services has a new infographic entitled "The Top 5 Things the Smoke-Free Law has Done for N.C." For additional information, please visit smokefree.nc.gov.

Take these steps to protect your pets
(SPM Wire) Your pet is part of the family. So when it comes to disaster preparedness, keeping pets safe should enter into the equation. Here are three simple ways pet owners can prepare for emergencies and prevent accidents: • The American Red Cross recommends taking a Pet First Aid Class to learn such basics as how to administer medicine, treat wounds, care for injuries and prepare for disasters. Whether you’re at home or on the road, these skills can save lives. • Depending on the type of emergency situation you’re faced with, your home may become an unsafe place to stay. Evacuation plans should include pets. Know in advance if you have friends or family with whom you and your pet can stay. If that’s not possible, keep a list of boarding facilities or hotels that accept animal companions. • Ensure toxic chemicals in your home, such as cleaning supplies, are inaccessible to pets. Additionally, be sure any medications are sealed and out of reach of curious paws. If you suspect your pet has consumed a poisonous substance, contact the ASPCA poison hotline at (888) 426-4435. The hotline operates 24 hours a day. With a little knowledge and preparation, you can be a more responsible pet owner.

Got a student going to college? (StatePoint) Transitioning to college life can be difficult on both students and families. From new expenses to a new lifestyle, being prepared for what lies ahead can help you avoid common bumps in the road. Here are five things families with collegebound students should consider: • Getting involved: Being away from home and making new friends can seem daunting. Encourage your student to get involved in school activities and events. From joining the campus paper to running for student government, there are a range of extracurricular opportunities that can lead to new friendships, help students maintain an active calendar and round out one’s classroom education. • Health and wellness: Late nights spent studying instead of sleeping, as well as crowded dorm rooms, can be a prescription
for colds and flu. Check out on-campus and local health care options before your student gets sick. No one wants to scramble to research medical options when he or she isn’t feeling well. Many campuses offer student insurance. See what makes the most sense for your family. Locate a nearby pharmacist before visiting the doctor so you can provide that information at your appointment. • Financing College: College may be one of your family’s biggest investments to date. Whether that describes your family or not, there’s no doubt about it, higher education comes with a big price tag. It’s never too late in the process to seek out new financing options, even if your child is already away out school. From filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, to exploring private loans, free online resources can help guide you
through the process. Check out resources designed for college-bound students and their families. Look for helpful advice on finding a scholarship and applying for loans. • Staying in touch: You’re busy. Your kid is busy. But regular check-ins with your student can help you know that everything is going well. Set up a weekly appointment to chat by phone and get the scoop -- just make sure your student’s phone plan allows for sufficient texting and calling. • Money management: For many students, college is the first time they will gain some financial independence. Set your kids up for success by teaching them how to establish a workable budget. A checking and savings account designed for college students can help them stay on track.
