Close Deals With Confidence Before the Tour

Based on REALTOR®-reported challenges, the biggest risks in energy-related transactions happen before the tour.

The Top 4 Challenges REALTORS® Face:

• Understanding how solar impacts a transaction
• Ownership, lien, and timing issues discovered too late  
• Unclear valuation of solar and energy upgrades
• Uncertainty around lending options without disrupting approval

Most energy and equity problems in real estate are discovered too late. Solar is just the most visible example.

Solar causes problems when it is introduced too late.

Most failed transactions involve one or more of the following:

• A second payment that impacts buyer qualification
• A UCC-1 lien discovered during title review
• Lender pushback late in underwriting
• Delays or renegotiations just before closing
• Refinance or resale issues months or years later

These problems are not about panels.
They are about timing.

Energy and upgrade questions are reviewed early and installed after closing.

That single change removes transaction risk.

What this means for your deals:

• No UCC-1 liens
• No second loan
• No DTI impact
• No appraisal disruption
• No closing delays

Solar stays a planning conversation, not a last-minute problem.

‍

When solar questions are resolved upfront:

• Buyers self-qualify earlier
• Fewer unqualified buyers schedule showings
• Offers come in with more confidence
• Fewer deals stall in escrow

You spend less time explaining surprises and more time guiding confident buyers.

Buyers usually find homes on Zillow or the MLS.

They use QuiqNest to understand:

• Whether solar works on the home
• Whether it affects loan approval
• Whether it creates title or resale issues

If it does not work, they move on early.
If it does work, they proceed with clarity. QuiqNest facilitates a connection with the official listing agent to proceed.

Either outcome saves time, protects the transaction, and reflects well on the agent.
