Today’s Ask the Expert column features Dan Steward, President of Pillar to Post Home Inspectors. Q: Should sellers get a home inspection to help the mortgage process along?
ASK AN EXPERT Inspection Help the Mortgage
Can a Home
A: If you’re a seller, it behooves you to get your own home inspection prior to putting your house on the market. But why spend money on one when the buyer will surely get their own? Buyers that see a recent home inspection along with the listing sheet already realize that the asking price of the home is likely justified. They can rest assured that there are no scary surprises waiting for them upon closing. And you can hasten an offer by having that report right in front of serious buyers when they’re considering putting in an offer. This also establishes a sense of trust between the buyer and the seller from the start. It shows the buyer that you care enough to get details and minor problems with the house detected and fixed before they even put in an offer. If your home inspector shows you minor items that may come up in the buyer’s home inspection, you can have the issues looked at and repaired before the buyer even has their report done. You will have time for bids on a job instead of rushing to pay a higher price for the work, or worse, having to deduct from the agreed upon price. In fact, you can show the report and a receipt proving the problem was already addressed by a licensed professional. Having a good report readily available also shows
the buyer that you’ve most likely been maintaining the property all along, which is another terrific plus when selling. Mitigating risk is key when selling a home. Since laws regarding disclosures vary from state to state, for the most part, you as the seller are responsible even after a closing if something has been hidden or unreported to the buyer. Taking the time to find a reputable home inspector to perform your own inspection will allow you to have repairs made for a cost that suits your budget, instead of having to deal with credits the buyer may ask for as the result of their home inspection. By getting a pre-inspection, you have proof that home maintenance issues, to the best of your knowledge, didn’t exist at the time of sale. The only instance when it may not pay for a seller to proceed with a pre-inspection is when they’re selling a fixer-upper. In this case, the buyer already knows what to expect, and they should have a thorough home inspection completed before signing on the dotted line.

SAVE MONEY THROUGH ENERGY-EFFICIENT UPGRADES As much as half of the average homeowner’s monthly utility expenses go toward cooling and heating, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). For many households, that makes energy the largest home-related expense each month, next to a mortgage payment. Fortunately, numerous technological advances are making it easier than ever to manage home energy use. In fact, the DOE estimates you can save as much as 10 percent a year on energy costs by simply adjusting the temperature up or down when you’re away during the day. Installing a programmable thermostat that never forgets to adjust on a busy morning and kicks back on before you arrive home can help you earn these savings and reduce energy consumption.

HOME AUTOMATION
Newer smart, programmable thermostats can be controlled remotely by internet-connected devices, such as tablets and smartphones. Some models can also monitor your energy usage and system efficiency, providing data to help you make further adjustments to how you operate your HVAC system. Lighting is another major energy challenge. However, smart light bulbs let you adjust your home’s ambiance (and energy usage) with just a couple of quick taps. Paired with motion sensors that detect movement (or a lack thereof) and adjust lighting accordingly, smart bulbs can help reduce the waste of energy caused by lighting unused rooms. Similarly, smartphone applications that connect to other appliances, utilities and home features offer the best of personalized comfort and convenience while providing tools to help minimize your home’s energy consumption.
RENEWABLE ENERGY
Another option to offset some of your home’s energy and utility costs is generating your own renewable energy through solar or wind power systems. Installation depends on many variables, such as how much energy you use, local codes and standards, and whether the house and surrounding terrain are situated to allow you to capture adequate natural power. For a home under construction, your builder should be able to offer guidance; for an existing home, contacting a local renewable energy organization or state office is a smart first step.
COST CONTROL
A state-of-the-art zoned climate control system can be configured to your specific needs, but all the customization options can make it tricky to predict how much your installation might cost. Taking into account these variables can give you a better sense of how much you’ll be spending.
NEW EQUIPMENT
Each system includes an outdoor unit, indoor unit(s), controls and parts including the refrigerant line-set, wiring and electrical accessories. Conditioning one room or zone comes at a significantly different price than cooling and heating a home with eight or more zones. Generally, new equipment comes in between $3,000-$15,000, depending on the number of zones and size of the home.

If you’re like most homeowners, there are parts of your house that simply don’t get much use or only get used during certain times of the day. Maintaining the temperature in those uninhabited areas can be costly and wasteful. As an alternative, an option such as zoned climate control allows you to stay comfortable in the rooms you use without spending a fortune on energy bills. While a zoned system is generally considered a premium home feature, it isn’t unattainable and actually offers longterm savings, due to its energy-efficient operation. The home is divided into zones, designated by floors, rooms or areas - however the homeowner chooses - which eliminate the “all on” feature of traditional air conditioners. A system like Mitsubishi Electric Cooling & Heating’s Zoned Comfort Solutions offers a true zoning-system with convenient controls and automation, along with whisper-quiet operation. Both ducted and non-ducted units are available depending on the space and occupant needs. Additionally, some models have advanced filtration features to help eliminate allergens, contributing to improved air quality. For a new build, installing a zoned system from the outset is relatively simple. However, zoned systems are also a possible solution for replacing your home’s HVAC system or rectifying a problem with a single uncomfortable room. Pairing the system with sensors or remote app controls can bring operating costs even lower through computerized automation.
LABOR
This is what you will pay a licensed HVAC contractor to install the system (and remove your old one, if necessary). Contractors’ labor prices vary widely, but expect to spend an amount roughly equal to your equipment cost, depending on your geographic location and the complexity of the installation.
UNIQUE SITUATIONS
Some homes, such as older homes, high-performance homes and homes in extreme cold-weather regions, often require auxiliary heat or specialized designs or equipment, all of which can impact the cost of the system. For example, with Mitsubishi Electric’s Zoned Comfort Solutions, 100 percent heating down to a 5° F outdoor temperature can be attained.

SEVEN R EAS ONS WHY ES CR OW S FA LL OU T By Barbara Pronin Let’s start with the contingency period every buyer has – usually 10 to 20 days at the beginning of a 30-60 day escrow. That’s the time when buyers should be nailing down their loan and making sure the property is what they thought it was when they made their offer. But they do have the option to walk away at will, which leads to reason number one: 1. The buyer gets cold feet – One option is to keep the contingency period short and work with the buyer and the seller’s agent to resolve contingency issues. 2. Buyer can’t get the loan – Experienced agents make certain the buyers are pre-qualified and specify in the contract that they have been approved for the loan. In fact, because ‘stuff happens,’ it can be a good idea for the buyers to have a ‘back-up loan’ in their pocket. 3. Inspection reveals a problem – Say it’s something the seller didn’t know about – asbestos in the ceiling, or a cracked firebox. Savvy agents keep a list of capable tradespeople who can do the repairs at a reasonable cost, which is often enough to save the sale. 4. The appraisal is low - There is little control over who the appraiser is, but the lender should help out, and the listing agent should meet the appraiser at the property to make sure he sees relevant comps.
5. Buyers can’t come up with down payment – Here again, the savvy agent would have done due diligence and verified the buyer’s source of funds. If the buyer has not demonstrated that funds are liquid and available, an offer shouldn’t have been made. 6. Buyer won’t prove ability to buy – In some cultures, it’s considered an insult to be asked to prove ability to pay. Experienced agents determine right away if this is a cultural issue or a negotiating ploy. Either way, the escrow should not have been opened until the issue has been satisfactorily addressed. 7. Buyer wants to renegotiate – This, too, can be a cultural issue with buyers from countries where contracts are not respected, and who try to re-negotiate at the last minute, thinking they have you over a barrel. Knowledgeable agents address this early, making it clear at the outset that no request for re-negotiation will be accepted after the agreed-upon contingency period. Bear in mind that buyers never want a house as much as at the time they make an offer. It’s important to use that initial enthusiasm to make the contract as airtight as possible.
