Did you know that solar panels can wreak havoc on real estate transactions?
Sure, there's the allure of potentially lower energy bills. But as an agent, there are some questions to ask before you close:
1. Who owns the solar panels?
2. Are they leased, or did the owners borrow $ to buy them?
3. How old are the panels?
4. What condition are they in?
5. How old and tired is the roof underneath all those panels?
6. Does the local utility let you sell back power to the grid?
Get knowledgable about how much of a premium it's actually worth paying for those solar panels — so you can stay compliant with Texas law and TREC requirements, protect your clients from their own ignorance, and prevent them from making expensive mistakes.
