Hi, my name is Stephanie Holladay, and I’m a local Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty. Solar panels are absolutely a factor in a real estate transaction, and there are several ways to handle them. You can choose to pay off the remaining balance, split the cost with the buyer, or transfer the agreement at settlement. I’ve also had clients share that sometimes the solar company is willing to negotiate a lower payoff if you call and ask, so it’s always worth exploring that option. If you’re unrepresented and would like to discuss your situation further, please feel free to give me a call at 717‑418‑3012.

Should I pay for my own inspection before listing?

Hi Vinney, my name is Stephanie Holladay, and I’m a local Realtor with Coldwell Banker. I strongly recommend completing a pre‑inspection before going on the market. Buyers truly appreciate when a home has already been inspected, and it often increases their confidence in the property. A pre‑inspection also puts you in control. You’ll know exactly what to expect, have the opportunity to address any items you and your agent feel are beneficial, and avoid unexpected issues during negotiations. It creates transparency, reduces risk, and helps ensure a smoother, more predictable transaction. If you’re unrepresented and would like to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out. My number is 717‑418‑3012.
