New Form: Energy Audit

Any deals you encounter this year, whether you are the buyer or seller, will find a new form added into your paper work. This form known as the "Energy Audit" is designed to make the buyer aware of the expected energy usage the potential investment/home uses. It must be filled out by the Seller, much like the "Seller's Real Property Disclosure". The energy audit typically costs $300 to $500 and can be waived if both the buyer and seller agree. If the seller chooses to have an energy evaluation performed by a certified inspector, the inspector will complete and sign the form. The audit is to be paid by the seller, but like all other things in the transaction- EVERYTHING IS NEGOTIABLE.

You can find more information about this form and how to fill it out at www.nvar.org
