49Th AnnuAl

Continues This Weekend

I

by Celeste M. sMuCker, PhD

f you missed last weekend’s celebration of Charlottesville’s best new homes, you are in luck. The 49th annual Parade of Homes continues this weekend and all the homes will be open again. This is a terrific opportunity to see all that is cutting edge and exciting in new construction as well as check out the look and feel of a variety of different neighborhoods stretching from Zion Crossroads in the east, to Crozet in the west.

Even if you don’t have immediate plans to move, the Parade gives you a chance to dream about where you might want to go next. Not only can you get ideas and learn about what is new, you can get a feel for all of the different communities and the amenities they have to offer. So even if your next move is a year or two down the road, start planning now by visiting the Parade.

Dave Brockman, Development Manager for the community of Old Trail, invites you to come for just that reason. “It’s a great opportunity to learn about new products,” he said, adding that “there are a lot of exciting things going on and both current and future buyers will receive a lot of value from attending the Parade.”

When you visit the Parade, bring lots of questions. The builders and site agents will be on hand to discuss energy efficiency, and show off

the latest technology and design features. Regardless of whether you are a serious buyer, a curiosity seeker, someone looking for design ideas, or a homeowner with plans to remodel your current home, you are welcome at the Parade.

The Parade is free. Maps and information are available in many local publications including this one.

The Parade is a Cooperative Event Every year the Parade kicks off at a party at the King Family Vineyards.

Most of the builders attend this annual event and look forward to meeting the agents and others who work so hard to make the Parade a success.

For the REALTORS® the kick off event is a great opportunity to meet and talk with the builders at a time when they are not preoccupied with sub-contractors, dealing with inspectors or making sure the next load of building supplies arrives on time.

Michael Guthrie, managing broker for Roy Wheeler Realty Co., one of two Parade presenting sponsors, described the King Family Vineyards function as a “first class” event, which reflects the value of the Parade.

“The Parade is not about competition. It’s about all of the builders making better and quality built homes,” he said. “When we get together at the King Family Vineyards it is a chance to network, enjoy each other’s company and acknowledge that we are all in this together.”

Welcome to Belvedere…the eco-chic, green neighborhood located off Rio Road and the John Warner Parkway, just minutes to UVA and Downtown Charlottesville. Belvedere features architecturally diverse, EarthCraft certified homes in a walk-able, new-urbanist designed neighborhood. Unlike any other community in central Virginia, Belvedere’s values of sustainability, healthy living, and great streetscapes help create a lifestyle we call “Urban

by Nature”.

The Senior Center, currently in planning for its spectacular new facilities, will call Belvedere “home” in the near future. The luxury rental apartments and townhomes at The Reserve at Belvedere are now welcoming new residents and expect to have construction complete in early 2013. And the upcoming Village Center, called Belvedere Station, a mix of small commercial, retail and residential in the heart of the neighborhood has generated significant interest from local businesses and is expected to be open in 2013.

With Phase 1 nearing completion and Phase 2 expected to begin before year end, Belvedere is the neighborhood that should be on every homebuyer’s short list.

Come visit Belvedere’s model home any Thursday through Sunday, Noon to 5:00 or check out the website at BelvedereNeighborhood.com.

Conner expressed enthusiasm about the new homes market, which he says shows signs of returning. “We are starting to see more and more interest in new construction, which is good news.” He explained that in the recent past many buyers have been interested in resale homes because they felt they could get a good price.

“When they start looking at new construction it means they are not so caught up in getting a deal and more interested in a home which they can personalize,” he continued.

Often new homebuyers are those who expect to stay for awhile, Conner said. With this in mind, a new home is appealing because it gives

REALTORS® are an important part of successful new home sales and play a special role in the Parade.

In recognition of their importance, this year’s Parade includes a REALTOR® tour, which takes place on two dates, October 2nd when agents will see the homes in Charlottesville and east, and the 4th when they will see those on the west side.

On these days the Parade homes will be open exclusively to REALTORS® giving them an opportunity to see what’s new, talk to the builders and get answers to their questions so they can better serve their new home clients.

Jim Kuznar, Executive Vice President of the Blue Ridge Homebuilders Association (BRHBA), explained the importance of the REALTOR® tour.

“The REALTORS® are very important to the builders who rely on them to bring traffic to their homes. Connecting with REALTORS® is a big reason that builders participate in the Parade,” Kuznar said. He added that he hopes the REALTOR® tour will become an annual tradition.

Brad Conner, an agent with Montague Miller and Co., is one of many who are excited about this special tour. “These cutting edge builders

will be showing us new design features, room changes and technology.

It’s a great way to get REALTORS® pumped up,” he said.

“It is very beneficial for the REALTORS® to see the product since we count on them to sell it,” said Suzie Pace of Pace Real Estate Associates.

Pace markets homes for R.L. Beyer Construction, which has two homes in the Parade. “The tour is also a chance for the agents to interact with each other and compare notes about what their clients are asking for,” Pace added.

buyers more scope to customize it to fit them. “It’s a psychological thing,” Conner added. “People enjoy having a home that’s their house; something that’s ‘them’.” To accomplish the same with a resale home requires them to undertake a renovation project, which can be challenging. New homes let them have it right the day they move in.

Pace agrees stating that today’s buyers look at their home as a place where they plan to stay for awhile.

For them it’s not just a big box with no character. Instead they appreciate flexible spaces that can serve different purposes as their situation changes.

“They also like designs which allow them to live in the entire house,” she said, “and they are looking for authenticity which comes from being

required to qualify giving borrowers the option of a larger home, or one with more in the way of upgrades and amenities.

Of course this apartment could also serve as a place to house guests, as temporary quarters for elderly relatives or adult children returning home for awhile, or as an office.

The questions customers ask about new homes are important for them, but also have an impact on the builders. Judy Antrobus, sales associate with Southern Development Homes, said that along with questions, the builders and agents also get critiques on the models. “Many changes on our floor plans emanate from the Parade visitors. We listen,” she said.

People enjoy having a home that’s their house; something that’s ‘them’. To accomplish the same with a resale home requires them to undertake a renovation project, which can be challenging.

New homes let them have it right the day they move in. able to customize the look and the function of the home.”

Greg Slater with Nest Realty, who represents Piedmont Realty and Construction, concurs stating that since real estate is not appreciating as fast as it once was, buyers are making more cost conscious decisions. Part of that is choosing homes with less square footage, and part is selecting floor plans that are more congruent with their lifestyles. This means seldom used spaces such as formal living rooms are out, and remaining spaces often serve multiple functions.

A creative example of flexible design is the carriage house apartments found in Belvedere, a walking community featured in this year’s Parade.

Bob Hauser, President of Stonehaus, Belvedere’s developer, explained that 30 of the homes have rentable apartments built over their garage which can bring in as much as $400 to $800 a month income to the owners, making their new home purchase significantly more affordable. In addition some lenders will count a part of this income stream towards what is

Energy Efficiency What is the number one concern of most new homebuyers? According to Beau Dickerson of Dickerson Homes and Development, the first question potential buyers ask is always “What are the utility bills?”

“This is true whether we are talking to them about a new home or about a resale home,” he added.

Similarly Pace said, “The biggest question people ask is how much they can save on their energy bill.

However,” she continued, “they also ask about the windows, the efficiency of the heat pump, and whether it is better to heat their home with gas or electricity.”

In the near future expect to see measures of energy efficiency such as the Home Energy Rating System (HERS). This system is similar to the MPG figures for new cars, explained Slater. When use of these ratings becomes more common it will be easier to compare two similar homes, or a new home and a resale. It will also act as an incentive for builders and home sellers to improve their energy

efficiency ratings before putting their home on the market.

First Floor Living If you don’t like climbing stairs you will appreciate another big trend in new home design, which is one level living or floor plans that have a master bedroom on the first floor.

While you may think this would mostly appeal to seniors, in fact it appears to be part of the larger trend of homes with design that fits different stages of life.

Charlie Armstrong, Vice President of Land Development at Southern Development Homes, explained that “more and more people are buying homes and planning to stay for awhile. We are seeing younger buyers as well as seniors looking for one level living. There is an increased awareness among buyers that they are buying a home, not just a house.”

The Community is Important Too Parade visitors also ask questions about the amenities offered by the various communities. “A lot of people ask about the Home Owner Association fees and the services they provide,” said Justin Kent of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate III and Craig Builders. He added that

this question is especially important to people looking at a maintenance free setting.

This year two communities, Old Trail and Belvedere, are featured as entrants on the Parade. Both are walkable communities with a town center and homes with a variety of styles and price points.

Old Trail is featuring a new neighborhood currently under construction that has more green space and interlinks with the larger community’s parks and walking trails.

Belvedere will be introducing their next phase, which, Hauser says, has 51 single-family lots. Visitors can also view their three-acre village center currently under construction, that will provide a mixture of offerings for residents and others looking for a convenient place to shop, eat out or find essential services. Belvedere will also be home to the Senior Center, which will be relocating there into a new and expanded version of what they are today and include a wellness center, meeting areas and lots of different activities.

New Legislation

o c t o b e r 4 - o c t o b e r 1 0 , 2 0 1 2 | I s s u e 21 - 4 0

Requires Written Agreements With Real Estate Licensees

By Pat Widhalm and Bud Kreh

A

s a result of new legislation, Virginia real estate consumers now have the opportunity to become more knowledgeable about the services they can receive from Virginia real estate licensees.

For many years, Virginia licensees have been required to make what is known in the industry as “prompt disclosure” of any brokerage relationship they have with a seller or landlord when speaking about a particular property to a prospective buyer or tenant. The same is true if licensees are working for a buyer or tenant and are about to have negotiating discussions with sellers or landlords. The law defines the types of discussions that require prior disclosure as “substantive,” since they are usually engaged in to further a party’s interest in or understanding of a piece of real estate or the conditions under which it can be bought or sold.

To ensure that consumers and licensees are on the same page as to what can be expected of each other, the law requires that all agreements for brokerage services be in writing, spelling out mutual expectations, terms of payment to the licensee’s firm, and an end date to the relationship. While the new law does not substantially change the way many licensees have conducted their brokerage businesses, it does require increased disclosure of services to be provided to the consumer by licensees and real estate firms. For the consumer, then, it’s really all about knowing what professional services are being purchased; and the new legislation can be understood as primarily a disclosure statute.

For purposes of this article, brokerage relationships are defined as contracts in which the real estate licensee agrees to work on behalf of someone wishing to sell, buy, lease, or rent real property, in return for which the licensee will receive a fee for agreed-upon services. Brokerage relationships can also be thought of as agency or representation agreements wherein licensees commit to

working on behalf of the consumer, keeping that person’s best interests in mind. When a licensee commits to promote and protect the best interests of one or the other party in a real estate transaction, the licensee and the licensee’s firm becomes that person’s authorized real estate “agent.”

The new legislation goes even further to protect both consumers and licensees by requiring timely disclosures to consumers who might enter into negotiating discussions without any representation. In fact the statute requires licensees who are contracted to work for one potential party to a transaction to make that disclosure prior to providing assistance to find or show a property to any consumer with whom they do not have a brokerage agreement. These unrepresented consumers then have the choice of continuing on with the potential transaction or seeking out other licensees to protect their own best interests.

So the public should now expect a meaningful conversation regarding agency as well as the buying and selling process when they contact a real estate firm, especially when it comes to inquiring about or purchasing property. When inquiring about

properties for sale, the usual process is to call either the listing agent or their company to get information about a property being advertised for sale or rent. In this case the listing agent and the company represent the seller or landlord as a result of their written listing agreement. Since this contract means that the licensee owes his or her primary responsibilities to the seller or landlord, the listing agent is required to disclose this representation and discuss agency options when approached by members of the public under these circumstances. Whereas the law allows a licensee representing a seller to assist an unrepresented buyer in a real estate transaction, a seller’s agent is very limited in the services he or she can provide to a customer, with whom there is no written brokerage agreement.

The licensee’s disclosure obligations to potential sellers and landlords are just as important when the licensee is representing a buyer or tenant. When the licensee and the firm have entered into a written agreement to represent a buyer or tenant as that party’s agent, the licensee’s duties then become pri-

marily owed to the buyer or tenant.

That fact must be disclosed prior to any negotiating discussions with the “other side,” so to speak.

Potential real estate consumers are generally not aware of the agency laws that real estate licensees are required to follow. The consumer’s interest is in buying or selling. It is the agent’s responsibility to explain the real estate process and to make disclosures required by law or by the REALTOR® Code of Ethics. When the public be-

gins to ask for an agent’s advice or counsel, the new law will allow the agent to provide this service only with a written brokerage agreement. The Virginia Association of REALTORS® has a document entitled YOUR REALTOR’S ROLE available online at www.

VARealtor.com/Consumer which further explains the process of working with a REALTOR®.

The most valuable square inch in real estate.

Why wear your REALTOR ® pin? Because three out of four consumers would choose to work with a REALTOR® rather than an agent who is not a member.*

Simply wearing your pin lets everyone know that you’re a REALTOR®, a member of the National Association of REALTORS.® *2008 Public Awareness Campaign consumer tracking study

Tell them. Show them.

Wear your REALTOR® pin with pride.

©2009 National Association of REALTORS®

It makes a first impression that shows potential clients how knowledgeable and valuable you are to their real estate transaction. Proudly wear the pin and always place the REALTOR® logo on your materials. It’s a small thing, but it can make a big difference.
