CAAR’s Fall REALTOR® Summit

R

EALTORS® in the Charlottesville area gathered to expand their knowledge getting information on things they need to know now. CAAR hosted the Fall REALTOR® Summit on Wednesday, October 26th at Farmington Country Club in Charlottesville.

With today’s ever-shifting environment, those active in all aspects of real estate rely more than ever on upto-date information. The Fall REALTOR® Summit was designed to meet these needs.

The day kicked off with a welcome from Barbara McMurry, 2011 CAAR President who then turned the meeting over to CAAR CEO Anne Gardner to moderate the 2012 Economic Outlook Presentation. This Presentation included updates on economic conditions and forecasts on the national, state, and local levels with a focus on the impacts they have on our region’s real estate market. Realtors heard from Ray Owens of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, Barry Merchant of the Virginia Housing Development Authority, and Susan Stimart of Albemarle County’s Economic Development Office. Owens remarked, “The bottom line is things are improving,” adding that it will take some time to get back on track.

CAAR believes a housing recovery is

President-Elect Brad Conner Addressing Luncheon Attendees

necessary for the nation’s economic well-being and continues its efforts to keep housing first on the nation’s public policy agenda.

Another highlight of the day included a luncheon address from Dr. Pamela Moran, superintendent of Albemarle County Public Schools.

Her presentation highlighted the recent strides made in our local k-12 education system to prepare students to meet the needs of a dramatically changing workplace. She remarked that emphasis is placed on developing analytical processes, working in teams, and a sense of flexibility to prepare students to contribute in jobs evolving so rapidly many of them do not yet exist.

The day also included a variety of classes which members could take for credit toward license renewal.

The choices were varied, including such wide-ranging topics as Technology Trends and Reality for Realtors, The Paperless Office using Docusign Management, Home Staging, Risk Management for the Independent Contractor, and Financing Initiatives.

Attendees were also able to talk with fellow members during the breaks throughout the day and browse the sponsor information tables.

CAAR’s Fall REALTOR® Summit was another successful and well-attended event, allowing CAAR members to expand their knowledge base in order to better help their business and their clients. What better way to finish out the year!

want it all quickly ‘cause I don’t want God to stop and think and wonder if I’m getting more than my share,” says Elizabeth Taylor’s character, Velvet Brown, in the 1944 movie classic, National Velvet. After 23 years of the Virginia Film Festival, it’s clear that somebody up there

Whether we deserve it or not, the bounty is ours for the taking again this November 3-6, with National Velvet and over 100 films at the Paramount, Regal and Vinegar Hill theaters downtown, and the Culbreth Theatre and Nau Auditorium on the grounds of the University of Virginia. In this third year under Director Jody Kielbasa, the emphasis is

you trying to reach?,’ then we really get down to the substance of what I feel the Virginia Film Festival is really about, and what makes me most proud.”

Kielbasa works hard to bring the festival to the audience and the audience to the festival, not just tailoring post-film discussions to the interests of a brainy university town, but cultivating partnerships with social service and cultural organizations.

loves Charlottesville, because where else in a town this size can you find such a riot of cinematic riches year after year? We’ve been getting more than our share all along.

Come November and the stars come to town. But not just the stars —the producers and directors too.

They bring out the academics, and after the screenings come the panel discussions and the question and answer sessions. We also get a day for kids, a 72-hour Adrenaline Film Project competition for amateurs, and

on new films, and the accompanying classics have a theme and a focus.

“I think what’s unique about this festival is that we’re able to get to the ideas behind the films,” Kielbasa says.

“A lot of festivals you go to, they’ll have discussions about what camera did you use, what was the budget, what about this artist. We do that as well, but I really think it’s when we bring people in and say ‘why did you make this film, what was your reason for making this film, what was your passion in making this film, who are

the taking AgAin This november Last year’s festival got off to a stimulating start with Black Swan, the most controversial film of the festival, and indeed the most talked about, love-it-or-hate-it release of the year. “I think we do no less this year by opening with The Descendants, a film that has received tremendous Oscar buzz,” Kilebasa says. Directed

by Alexander Payne, The Descendants stars George Clooney as a Hawaiian landowner trying to hold his family together after his wife suffers a boating accident. The Thursday, November 3 showing at the Culbreth will be followed by the Opening Night Gala in the Jefferson Ballroom at UVA’s Alumni Hall.

Tragedy in Dallas Friday afternoon at 3, the Culbreth hosts a 20th anniversary screening of Oliver Stone’s JFK, a controversial, frankly fictionalized exploration of the November 22, 1963 assassination and the characters purportedly behind it, starring Kevin Costner, Kevin Bacon, Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Oldman, and Albemarle County’s own Sissy Spacek.

In the sort of casting, so to speak, that makes the Virginia Film Festival so engaging, Stone will discuss the film with UVA Center for Politics director and nationally known talking head Larry Sabato, who is completing a book on Kennedy.

The series will choose films added to the national registry for their cultural, historic, or aesthetic significance.

In addition to National Velvet, this year’s selection includes Terrence Malick’s Badlands, John Huston’s The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Robert Altman’s McCabe and Mrs. Miller, and The General, the famed 1926 silent film starring and co-directed by Buster Keaton, with live musical accompaniment by Matt Marshal and the Reel Music Ensemble.

TCM host and film historian Ben Mankiewicz will provide introductions, and Sissy Spacek and husband Jack Fisk, who met filming Badlands, will join him onstage afterwards.

A new documentary, These Amazing Shadows, will serve to introduce

The festival’s Centerpiece film, Albert Nobbs, will be shown Saturday at 8:30 at the Paramount. Directed

by Rodrigo García and starring Glenn Close, who won an Obie in the title role in an off-Broadway production in 1982, it also features the young star Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland, The Kids are Alright), and veteran stage and screen actress Janet McTeer. Based on a 19th century short story by the Irish modernist author George Moore, Albert Nobbs tells the story of an independently minded woman posing as a butler at a posh Dublin hotel who falls in love with a painter and decides to give up her job and her false identity. Longtime friend of the festival Julie Lynn is one of the film’s producers, and will interview Garcia and Wasikowska.

Families Rule Saturday is also Family Day, when the festival throws a party on the Downtown Mall for young film fans, future film stars, and those who love them. The day’s highlight will be the 10:30 a.m. Paramount showing of the 1944 classic National Velvet, starring Elizabeth Taylor, Mickey Rooney, and Angela Lansbury. Taylor plays Velvet Brown, a young English girl who wins a horse in a town lottery and decides to train it for the Grand National Steeplechase. A father of two young daughters, Kielbasa calls Taylor’s character “a wonderful role model for young women,” and the film one of his favorites as a child.

Alchemy of an American Artist at 4 p.m. is a “Dante-esque” journey into the turbulent mind of Charlottesville artist and musician Christopher Breeden, fittingly shot with a hand held, lo-fi camera. Rothstein’s First Assignment at 6:30 p.m. is an exposé

Documentaries with a Conscience For 45 years Kartemquin Films, best known for their critically acclaimed 1994 work Hoop Dreams, has been documenting social issues and social phenomena. Hoop Dreams

of the eugenics scandal filmmaker Richard Knox Robinson discovered on an assignment to commemorate the 75th anniversary celebration of the Shenandoah National Park.

A sampling of great new foreign films, a six-film focus on Israel, and a behind-the-scenes look at the newsroom of the New York Times . . . the list of festival subjects goes on and on as always, and attendance figures show that Kielbasa knows his audience. Attendance jumped from 11,000 in 2008, the year before he arrived, to 23,750 last year, the first he had a completely free hand. And folks aren’t coming for the popcorn.

Farmageddon director Steve James and Kartemquin co-founder Gordon Quinn will be at the festival as it presents no less than nine Kartemquin releases, including their latest, A Good Man!/A Good Man? about dancer and choreographer Bill T. Jones and his creation of a dance about Abraham Lincoln.

Audiences at that showing will also see a 15-minute long work, 100 Migrations, filmed when Jones was in residence at UVA two years ago. Jones will discuss the film after its 4 p.m. showing Sunday at the Culbreth. His company will perform at the Paramount on November 11.

Focus on Food When Joel Salatin speaks, foodies listen. Saturday at 3 at the Culbreth, Salatin will be the special guest for Farmageddon, an exposé of governmental agricultural policies that favor big factory farms and harass small, environmentally responsible family operations.

Sometimes it takes a child to make adults face the obvious, like say, if you want kids to eat, you’d better serve them appetizing food. Cafeteria Man features New Orleans-born celebrity chef Tony Geraci, who was hired by Baltimore City Schools after students dropped a lunch tray on the superindent’s desk and told him, “You eat it.” The mortified super bought a farm, hired Geraci, and gave his 83,000 charges something to savor instead of throw. Geraci will join director Richard Chisolm and other area foodies including Kate Collier of Local Food Hub to discuss what may be the Slow Food movement’s most remarkable achievement, the greening of public school cafeterias.

These Amazing Shadows will be shown at 7:45 p.m. Thursday at the Regal 3 Theater on the Mall.

How Much

Can You

Handle?

I

By RogeR a. VaRneR, II

n life there are times when the need arises to make a purchase even though the funds are not available. This results in the need to borrow from someone who has excess money and willing to lend it with the stipulation of interest due. The concept of debt has been documented going back four thousand years to Babylon when loans were being made between temples and merchants. The ability to handle debt was as necessary in early history as it is now—maybe even more so. In ancient Greece, for instance, if a man

could not pay his debts, he, his wife and children would be forced into servitude until their labor paid off the loan. With interest constantly accruing, one loan default could result in many generations being enslaved.

Today laws protect borrowers from such harsh consequences, but if debt is not handled correctly, debtors may feel they are just one step from that same sentence of servitude.

The amount of debt one can handle is dependent on individual situations but there are some well-respected guidelines that can be used to gauge where one stands where debt accumulation is concerned. For most of us, debt always will be part of our lives but with proper management it can be controlled.

The first step is to sit down with a piece of paper and write down the debts you pay down on a monthly basis, i.e. the mortgage, car loan, student loan or credit cards. Add these payments to determine the amount of money going towards your monthly debt repayment. Now determine your monthly income on a pretax basis by taking your annual salary and dividing it by twelve. With your monthly income and monthly debt amount in front of you, calculate the ratio of debt to income by dividing the monthly debt amount by the monthly income amount. This will yield a ratio of how much of your income is being allocated towards your debt.

In a “good” financial situation, this ratio should be below 30 percent; up to 36 percent in an “okay” situation, but if it is above 36 percent, your credit score will be negatively affected. When it approaches 40 percent, it is beginning to take a turn for the worst. At 50 percent there has to be drastic change or certain financial ruin is in the near future. You should be aiming for a debt to income ratio of below 30 percent, so think twice about purchases if it will take the ratio to or above 36 percent.

One type of debt-to-income ratio does not necessarily determine how much debt you can handle. Finances are never that simple and different situations should be looked at differently. For instance, one person may have the luxury of living rent/ mortgage free while another person may have multiple dependents and a mortgage affecting their tax rate.

The debt-to-discretionary income ratio takes these factors into account.

This ratio is calculated by determining what monthly expenses are necessary versus which are discretionary.

Things such as rent/mortgage, food, utilities or transportation are necessary for living. Take this monthly expense and subtract it from your after tax income or the amount of monthly pay that you’re able to deposit in your bank account. This figure is your discretionary income, as it is not necessary to spend but could be spent by the individual to live a certain lifestyle.

The minimum monthly amount due on revolving debt such as credit cards can be divided by discretionary income to arrive at the new ratio.

This number would ideally be below 20 percent, but up to 25 percent is still okay. When this ratio crosses 33 percent the warning bells should be-

gin to sound that the debt is beginning to be too much. At 40 percent a serious analysis of spending and prioritizing should take place. Approaching 50 and 60 percent signals that lifestyle changes need to be made or those changes will be made for you in the form of cash flow problems.

Knowing how much debt you can handle requires an understanding of how much money is coming in and how it is going out. While some may feel the pressure of debt pushing down on them, sitting back and not taking action is setting up failure.

Ignoring a debt problem will not make it go away, but taking proactive steps in monitoring one’s debt level will help to determine if there is a problem or when one might be approaching.

The ability to handle debt was as necessary in early history as it is now—maybe even more so.

In ancient Greece, for instance, if a man could not pay his debts, he, his wife and children would be forced into servitude until their labor paid off the loan.
