ONE AMAZING CUSTOM HOME WITH A BATHROOM INSPIRED

BY A HIDEAWAY BUILT FOR TWO Brenda’s honeymoon was twelve years ago, but she still has fond memories of the rain shower, the soaking tub and having two of everything. So when she and her husband sat down to custom design their Schumacher home, she knew she wanted a spa retreat inspired by their honeymoon suite. In the end, she got everything she wanted, all for less than they thought.

No two Schumacher homes are exactly alike.

Let us build the home of your dreams on your lot with every little detail designed with you and your family in mind.

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:

What is a closing attorney and what does one do?

the answer:

A closing attorney is a lawyer who conducts the closing in a property transaction.

Many things go into a closing attorney’s role in the closing process such as: rendering a legal opinion on the title to the property and resolving any title defects; coordinating with the parties to the transaction assuring a smooth closing and receiving and disbursing monies related to the transaction. Also, keep in mind that in North Carolina a licensed attorney is required for closing.

Toddler holiday boredom busters (StatePoint) When you’re spending time with your family over the holidays, here are some festive ways to motivate kids to engage in fun and active learning.

Family Room Fort If the weather outside is frightful, transform the family room or den into an opportunity for adventure. Kids can use the couch, blankets and all those boxes that seem to amass during the holidays to create a fort, which makes the perfect temporary stand-in for a treehouse or outdoor clubhouse. Let kids get creative by decorating the outside Ÿ¯ ǼÌs EŸɮsǣ ɠÞǼÌ ǣŘŸɠʪ Ĩsǣʰ ǣŘŸɠŎsŘ Ř_ other seasonal shapes.

Imaginative Toys Parents can ensure creativity continues long after kids unwrap their presents. Playtime is also learning time: according to Dr. Deborah Libby, Early Childhood Reading and Language Expert and VTech Expert Panel Member, “Play ideally begins early and continues throughout a child’s life, helping them learn, think, socialize, problem solve and ultimately have fun.”

One great choice for sparking imaginations and building motor skills is the Go! Go! Smart Wheels Ultimate RC Speedway from VTech.

With 4.5 feet of track, which incorporates features like a stunt ramp, elevator, track switches, and more, this new set inspires interactive play all year round. Kids take charge by using a remote control to zoom the RC SmartPoint Racer around the brightly-colored course, which also activates playful music and sounds to further engage little ones.

And the Go! Go! Smart Animals Grow & Learn Farm features an electronic barn that teaches kids about colors, numbers, and plants.

When toddlers roll Reggie the Rooster over each of the farm’s SmartPoint locations, they’ll hear new phrases, music and sound effects.

Gadgets don’t have to mean passivity: these toys use interactive technology to occupy kids with the kind of imaginative play and creativity that furthers development and learning, long after the holidays are over.

Arts & Crafts Making holiday decorations at home is a great way to get children involved in stimulating, hands-on activities. With just a few simple art ǣȖƼƼĶÞsǣʰ ǼÌsɴ O Ř ONj ¯Ǽ ǼÌsÞNj ŸɠŘ ¶NjssǼÞض O Nj_ǣʰ ONjs Ǽs ǣŘŸɠʪ Ĩs shapes that double as ornaments, or help design gingerbread houssǣʳ ǢȖOÌ OǼÞɚÞǼÞsǣ ŘŸǼ ŸŘĶɴ sŘÌ ŘOs ʩŘs ŎŸǼŸNj ǣĨÞĶĶǣʰ EȖǼ ĶǣŸ ÞŘǣƼÞNjs kids to use their innate inventiveness.

This holiday season and beyond, keep boredom at bay by encouraging kids to be creative and mentally active.

the loan? If you’re getting a home equity loan that consolidates credit card debt and other shorter-term loans, remember that the new loan may obligate you for a longer period.

Look at the monthly payment. Can you afford it?

Will it stay the same or change?

Shop around for your best home loan A loan is a product just like a car. Shopping around, comparing and negotiating can help you get the best deal.

Shop around with several lenders. Home loans are available from several types of lenders - commercial banks, mortgage companies, savings and loans, and credit unions.

Different lenders may quote you different prices, so contact several lenders to find the best loan at the best price

compare when shopping for a loan. It takes into account the interest rate, points, mortgage broker fees, and other charges, expressed as a yearly rate. Generally, the lower the APR, the lower the cost of your loan. It is also important to ask if APR is fixed or adjustable - that is, will the APR change?

Compare loan costs. Ask lenders for information about the same loan amount, loan term and type of loan. Also, ask for a list of all closing costs and fees.

Ask about points and fees. These charges may not be refundable if you pay off the loan early, and you may pay extra points if you decide to refinance. Points are usually paid in cash at closing, but may also be financed. If you finance the points, you’ll pay additional interest and increase the overall cost of your loan.

Look at the annual percentage rate (APR).

The APR is the most important thing to

Know the terms of the loan. How many years will you have to make payments on

Watch out for balloon payments. A balloon payment is a large payment that comes due at the end of the loan, often after a series of low monthly payments. If you can’t come up with the money, you may be forced to take out another loan.

Watch out for prepayment penalties. Would the loan require you to pay extra fees if you pay off the loan early by refinancing or selling your home? To avoid getting trapped in a loan by prepayment penalties, try to negotiate the penalty out of your loan agreement.

Find out what happens if you miss a payment. Some loans include a provision that raises the interest rate for the rest of the loan if you miss a payment or pay late.

Try to negotiate this provision out of your loan agreement.

Look at credit insurance carefully. Some lenders may imply that you must purchase expensive credit insurance in order to get a loan, or they may automatically include the insurance as part of the loan agreement.

Don’t agree to purchase credit insurance until you’ve studied it carefully.

We Can Help If you have a complaint about a lender, contact us toll free within North Carolina at 1-877-5-NO-SCAM.

Heat your home with a pellet stove

(StatePoint) When temperatures drop, household use of fossil fuels rises in order to keep homes warm and comfortable. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

agricultural by-products.

How They Help Pellet stoves are great for the environment and your wallet in many ways. A few include:

In fact, more than one million households nationwide already heat with biomass pellet stoves rather than burn more expensive and damaging fossil fuels like oil -- and such stoves can even be retrofitted into existing fireplaces as an insert.

• Pellet stoves are already saving 4.5 million tons of carbon emissions, according to the Pellet Fuels Institute.

If you’re not familiar with pellet products, here’s what you need to know: What’s a Pellet Stove?

Pellet stoves burn uniform cylinders of composite biomass fuel to create a steady, warming fire.

Pellets are loaded into the stove hopper and automatically fed into the stove burn pot.

Pellet composition varies depending on regional resources, but is typically comprised of a mix of sawdust, waste paper, residual forest waste and

• Each installation of a pellet or wood appliance in a single-family home in a cool climate can displace between four and seven tons of carbon emissions annually, estimates the Alliance for Green Heat -- about three times the impact of buying a hybrid car, for roughly half the cost.

• Biomass fuels are constantly replenished and reforested and absorb nearly as much carbon growing as they give off when burned. The result is a virtually invisible carbon footprint.

• Pellet stoves cost 64 percent less to operate than heating your home with oil, 47 percent less than propane and 54 percent less than electrical

heat. For those thinking long-term, this represents a two to five year payback.

What to Know Pellet stoves are available both as a freestanding appliance or an insert in an existing fireplace, making most homes a candidate for this supplemental heating source.

New models are environmentally responsible and also easily fit into busy lifestyles. The Harman Absolute43 features an intuitive Easy Touch Control that tells you when to add fuel, perform maintenance, and much more, making heating with pellets easier than ever. To learn more about heating your home with renewable materials, visit www.harmanstoves.com.

To reduce your home’s carbon footprint, look to heating alternatives that burn renewable materials rather than precious fossils fuels. With a pellet or wood-burning stove, you will be able to lower your utility budget while adding ambiance to your living spaces.

Home equity scams Your home is probably your most valuable possession. But, if you agree to a loan that’s based on the equity you have in your home, you may be putting your most important asset at risk.

Watch out for abusive lending practices like these that could cause you to lose your home: Asset-Based Lending: The lender makes a loan based upon the equity in your home, without considering whether or not you can make the payments. If you can’t keep up with the payments, the lender will foreclose - taking your home and the equity you spent years building.

Loan Flipping: A lender keeps encouraging you to refinance your original loan with a new long-term, higher cost loan.

Each time the lender “flips” the existing loan, you must pay new points and fees, which are added to the loan balance.

These added costs will eat up the hardearned equity that you have earned.

Packing: You receive a loan that contains charges for products or services you didn’t ask for and don’t need. “Packing” used to involve the inclusion of long-term credit insurance on home loans. North Carolina law now prohibits lenders from financing credit insurance on home loans.

Hidden Balloon Payments: A lender may

offer to refinance your mortgage and lower your monthly payments. Look at the loan terms carefully. The payments may be low because you’ll owe a huge lump sum called a balloon payment at the end of the loan term. If you can’t make the balloon payment, you could lose your home.

The Home Improvement Loan: A contractor offers to perform work on your home and tells you he can even arrange financing. You agree to the project and sign some papers, only to realize later that you’ve agreed to a home equity loan with high interest rates, points and fees. Make sure you understand who is making the loan and that you have recourse against the contractor if he never finishes work on your home or does a poor job.

Mortgage Servicing Abuses: After you get a mortgage, your loan and loan payments may be handled by your lender or by a third party known as a servicer. Make sure that your lender or servicer does not add

charges that you don’t understand – such as legal fees, inaccurate late fees, and extra insurance – to your loan. You are entitled to a written explanation if any additional fees are added to your account.

By law, you can also request an itemized loan history statement from your servicer without charge once in every six month period.

Signing Over Your Deed: If your lender has threatened to foreclose, a foreclosure “rescue” outfit may promise to help catch up your payments to avoid foreclosure.

The rescue outfit will promise to let you stay in your home while asking you to deed your property over. But once you sign over the deed you can be evicted, because you have lost control over your house. In addition, signing over your deed doesn’t get you out of the responsibility for paying your mortgage. Finally, the rescue scammer can also borrow money on any equity you had in the house.

Major flooding in the Carolinas means it’s only a matter of time before vehicles damaged by floods show up for sale on new and used car lots, Attorney General Roy Cooper cautioned consumers today.

“Our hearts go out to the victims of these terrible floods as they work to recover,” said Cooper. “Unfortunately, storms can continue to do harm when consumers get tricked into buying flooded cars.”

After major storms, both new and used cars that were flooded will be offered for sale. These vehicles are frequently put through extensive cleaning that can make it difficult for prospective buyers to detect even serious damage.

Under North Carolina law, flood damage to a car must be disclosed in writing before the car is sold. Vehicles that have been partially or totally submerged in water resulting in damage to the body, engine or transmission are classified as flood vehicles, but title paperwork is sometimes unlawfully altered to remove any mention of flood damage. Failure to disclose

damage to a vehicle is a class 2 misdemeanor prosecutable by local District Attorneys, and violators of the law can face civil penalties of up to $5,000 per violation.

“If you’re in the market for a car in the coming weeks or months, be on high alert for flood cars,” Cooper warned.

To avoid buying a flood-damaged car, follow these tips:

Ask the seller directly if the car has been damaged in any way, including by storms or flooding.

Consider getting a complete vehicle history report using a service like CARFAX. Request a copy of the title for any used car.

Check the date and place of transfer to see if the vehicle comes from a state that recently experienced flooding. Flood damage will only be disclosed on the title if the insurance company officially declared the car totaled.

Have the car examined by an independent

mechanic of your choice before you buy.

Avoid buying a car over the Internet if you haven’t seen it in person, especially if it is being sold in an area that recently experienced flooding.

If possible, take the car for a test drive and remember to:

Check for rust and mud in the trunk, glove box, and dashboard and beneath the seats.

Look for rusty brackets under the dash and carpet, discolored upholstery, and mismatched carpet.

Test electronics like headlights, windshield wipers, turn signals, power outlet, and radio.

Run the heater and air conditioner, and look in the vents for signs of water or mud.

Make sure all gauges on the dashboard are working accurately.

If you believe that you may have unknowingly purchased a flood-damaged vehicle, report it to our Consumer Protection Division by phone, toll-free within North Carolina, at 1-877-5-NO-SCAM.
