enise Ramey, a REALTOR® with Roy Wheeler Realty Company, is president of Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors (CAAR), the voice of real estate in the Central Virginia region.

“REALTORS® are encouraged to give back to community,” she says. “Since we are self-employed, there are many different ways of doing this and we have great examples of real estate people who do it just because it’s the right thing to do.”

The catalog of local volunteer efforts by REALTORS® is nearly endless, she says. “They donate hours and hours of their time to children’s activities such as Little League or Scouting, to their churches, to soup kitchens serving the homeless, and to sponsoring fund-raising events like the Alzheimer’s Walk and golf tournaments.”

Not surprisingly, many volunteer hours are devoted to encouraging home ownership. “Many people think REALTORS® are all about buying and selling homes,” she notes, “But we are really about home ownership and helping people stay where they are in their homes.”

As an example of this effort, CAAR recently named member REALTOR® Kay Sands of Roy Wheeler Realty Company as a Good Neighbor Award—a recognition program highlighting local REALTORS® who volunteer significant time and effort to projects making a lasting impact on our region.

Sands is involved with The Seniors Safe at Home program, which benefits seniors who cannot afford critical repairs to their dwellings. CAAR has joined forces with the Blue Ridge Home Builders Association and the Albemarle Home Improvement Program (AHIP) to help low-income senior citizens stay safe in their homes.

“As REALTORS® we have an opportunity to see parts of our community that other people do not see,” Sands says. “This award is not about me, but about a cause that is nationwide.It is a secret that needs to be told.

By Marilyn Pribus

REALTORS® GIVE BACK

It is truly about the lady at the cleaners, at the florist, the delivery people from restaurants. We know these people, but we do not know their struggles.”

AHIP has its own crews, as well as local subcontractors and volunteers, who make repairs through the Emer-

gency Home Repair Program, but unfortunately there is a lengthy waiting list for people needing critical repairs—sometimes as many as a couple hundred households. The average cost of an emergency repair runs close to $2,000. Projects typically involve roofs,

wells, septic systems, plumbing, electrical, heating, windows, handicap access retrofits and other needs.

“I am an advocate for home ownership,” says REALTOR® Greg Slater of Nest Realty in Charlottesville. “I have enjoyed the benefits in my personal

On a personal level, she volunteers at The Haven for projects such as the Christmas Day Dinner, when a festive holiday meal is mounted for those who otherwise would not have one. Another holiday project, devised with her daughter Natasha Hayden, was to provide individual gifts for the residents at The Crossings—Charlottesville’s 60-studio-apartment building with units for homeless and low-income clients which opened in March of 2012. “Some of my clients donated things also,” she says. “They were a huge help.” The 60 gifts ranged from clothing to household items and bath baskets which Matthews and her daughter wrapped and delivered to The Crossings. Since the staff knew the residents personally, Matthews knew they could better decide which gift to give which person.

“Ultimately,” she says, “I hope the projects I’m involved with will lead to permanent housing for the homeless in our community—more than 80 percent of whom are lifelong residents.” She says that is notable because overall, only half of Charlottesville residents are natives.

It’s not all about housing Not all volunteer efforts involve real estate. Some are aimed at quality-oflife projects and issues. For example, REALTOR® Kelly Ceppa of Nest Realty serves on the board of Market Central, a non-profit organization seeking to enrich the local market experience at the Charlottesville City Markets. “I want to know where my family’s food comes from,” says Ceppa.

“For me, it’s important to know how crops and animals were raised and building a relationship with their producers helps ensure that what I put

“There’s a sense of empowerment, of belonging, and creative thinking.

It’s what community volunteering is all about.”

—REALTOR® Sara Greenfield, owner Charlottesville Fine Homes and Properties

Marilyn Pribus has volunteered for many organizations from being a Cub Scout Den Mother to working for Blood Banks in several different states and being a Friend of the Library wherever she lives.

13 MAY 23 — MAY 29, 2013 ISSUE 22-21

“We work to keep every participant safe,” Greenfield says, explaining that she is a safety-and-injury-prevention training “pink.” She and other volunteer “pinks” coach participants twice a week. “We have beginning, intermediate and advanced training for female walkers and runners of all ages,” Greenfield explains. “The ten-week summer training program helps participants prepare for the race itself.

On Saturday mornings, we offer a series of speakers who give short presentations on walking and running techniques, injury prevention, fitness, nutrition, and community safety.”

Dozens of volunteer ‘pinks’ coach and participate in all sorts of positions.

There are training satellites in Albemarle, Greene, Fluvanna, and Madison Counties and beyond. In addition, more than 350 male and female volunteers come out on race day to help with course monitoring, water stops, refreshments, parking and finish line duties.

The training program runs on consecutive Saturdays from June 15th to August 24th at 7:00 a.m. at the UVa track. Registration for the training program opened online on May 1st. The training program starts on June 15th and race registration opens online on June 22nd. “The race gets sold out within a few days of opening registration,” Greenfield notes. The registration fee includes a Nike Technical Running Shirt and other race “goodies.”

On a more personal level, Greenfield, a former ski instructor, founded The National Ski and Board Safety Association following the snowboarding death of a young person she knew.

It is dedicated to winter recreation injury prevention through winter sport safety training, and environmental and physical safety awareness.

Clearly many CAAR members volunteer in a wide variety of valuable programs in our community. Perhaps Greenfield, the Four Miler volunteer, sums it up best. “It is satisfying knowing one’s work, dedication and time make a contribution to the community they are serving. It’s the team approach that really gets you the furthest. When each of us is encouraged to volunteer—to be part of a community program— good things come in reaching both individual and community goals.

There’s a sense of empowerment, of belonging, and creative thinking too,” she concludes. “It’s what community volunteering is all about.”

on our table is healthy, locally raised, and fresh.”

Market Central enables Ceppa and every other resident to become more aware of their food choices through classes, outreach and programs for market shoppers, vendors, and administrators. The website has a blog, recipes and information and Market Central is at their City Market booth every Saturday morning for more information.

“I know a thriving public market plays a vital role in our community and contributes to a good quality of life for area residents,” Ceppa says.

For example, she explains that one Market Central program allows beneficiaries of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to purchase fresh, local foods at the market by offering double voucher coupons, effectively doubling their purchase power. “These types of programs would not exist if not for the interest and dedication of volunteers whose efforts make the market better for everyone,” Ceppa says.

A very different event combining fitness and fundraising is the Charlottesville Women’s Four Miler—a race that has involved thousand of women over the years. I have loved volunteering for the Four Miler Training Program for the past several years,says REALTOR® Sara Greenfield, founder of Charlottesville Fine Homes and Properties. There are hundreds of women every summer who join the program, get inspired, and get fit as well as contribute to a good cause.

The training program prepares participants for Virginia’s largest all-women event and is open to runners and walkers of all abilities. This year’s race will be August 31st with approximately 3000 runners and walkers including cancer survivors, family members and women in the community, supported by their friends and relatives who “put their money where their mouth is” with monetary pledges.

The beneficiary of the Four Miler is the UVa Cancer Center Breast Care Program, which last year benefited to the tune of $340,000! These funds stay in the greater Charlottesville region to support cutting-edge research, screening mammograms, high-risk breast and ovarian cancer programs, patient education, support services and community outreach which directly impact the women of our region.

life and have been very fortunate to be able to earn a living working in this field for years.” Slater serves on the board of The Thomas Jefferson Community Land Trust (TJCLT), a not-for-profit organization serving greater Charlottesville with a new model of homeownership for lowand moderate-income households.

“When the opportunity to serve the TJCLT came up, I was happy to participate,” he continues. “It’s my way of giving back to the community and the industry.”

A community land trust makes homeownership more affordable and, at the same time, ensures that the home will remain affordable for future buyers. This is because homebuyers benefit from a reduced price on their homes since the TJCLT maintains ownership of the land. Homebuyers agree to share some of the increase in value of the home so future generations will have affordable housing options. TJCLT also provides financial and homeownership counseling plus post-purchase support and assistance to help develop a permanent supply of affordable homes to benefit future generations of our region.

The TJCLT recently has joined forces with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville to construct two affordable homes in Charlottesville—the first collaboration of this sort in Virginia. Ultimately the homeowners will help define TJCLT’s role and determine how successful TJCLT will be at achieving its mission. The homeowners will serve on committees, attend meetings, and eventually serve on the Board of Directors. “I have been interested in affordable or workforce housing in our area for several years,” concludes Slater, “so I really enjoy serving on this board.”

The Haven at First and Market, opened in January 2010, is a safe and welcoming place for the homeless and very poor of Central Virginia to be during the day, offering meals and a place to shower, do laundry, access computers, and connect with social service providers. As a member of The Haven’s Board of Directors, REALTOR® Janet Matthews, founder of Charlottesville Town and Country, sees homelessness close up.

“Part of the reason that I advocate for the homeless is my connection through real estate to housing,” she explains.

Piedmont CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) Board Chair Dana Harris announced that Alicia Lenahan accepted the position of President of Piedmont CASA; she is the second person to serve as President of the organization. She assumed her duties May 1.

Lenahan comes to CASA with 16 years of legal experience, coupled with 12 years in the nonprofit arena, including six years as Executive Director of CASA in Worcester, Massachusetts, and four years as Senior Vice President, Community Engagement, United Way of Central Massachusetts.

As an attorney in Juvenile Court, and then at CASA, she advocated for the most vulnerable children. Her most recent experience includes service with Friends of Children’s Trust Fund, Boston, MA, where she served as Chief Development Officer.

“I have had the privilege of working for organizations with large and varied geographic footprints,” she said in her letter of application. “The successes enjoyed by CASA, the United Way, and Children’s Trust are predicated on understanding and respect for the unique characteristics of individuals, neighborhoods, communities, and regions,” she concluded.

Frontier Culture Museum Awarded Artisan Center Grant The Frontier Culture Museum announced today that the museum has been awarded a $100,000 grant from the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development to undertake the Virginia Artisan Center Planning Project. As part of the planning project, the museum will complete an artisan center feasibility study.

Artisans and other stakeholders from across the region will be consulted as to what they want to see in an artisan center and how the center would best contribute to regional community development.

Statewide partners on the project management team—the Virginia Tourism Corporation, the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development and the Artisans Center of Virginia—are considering the question of how a regional presence for artisan and agri-artisans can help strengthen communities, increase markets for artisan and agri-artisan entrepreneurs, provide greater economic opportunity through coordinated strategic action and further the goals of the draft statewide tourism

plan in relation to the Shenandoah Valley and surrounding region.

The proposed artisan center will be a hub for artisan activities and a visitor center for cultural tourists wishing to explore the surrounding region. It is expected that the proposed artisan center will provide Virginia visual artisans, agri-artisans and performing artists from other regions an additional platform to showcase and sell their unique works while inspiring appreciative audiences with their expressive stories and distinctive ways of life.

Phase One of the feasibility study will serve to determine if an artisan center is economically feasible and inform as to what the artisan center should entail and where the facility should be located. If determined viable, a second phase of the study will focus in more detail on the recommended business plan, including capital costs, facility plan, operational and management plan, financial pro forma, and other recommendations for a successful artisan center.

The Frontier Culture Museum, an agency of the Virginia Department of Education, overlooks the interchange of I-81 and I-64 in Virginia’s scenic Shenandoah Valley. As part of its mission to increase public knowledge of the formation of a distinctive American folk culture from a blending of European, African and indigenous peoples, the Frontier Culture Museum incorporates the material culture of settlement. For nearly 10 years, the agency has been exploring the potential of strengthening the interpretation and presentation of the region’s artisan heritage and how it continues to shape local products and way of life.

What can you get for Five Dollars?

Typically not much these days—a fancy latte, a Subway sandwich, or maybe a deck of playing cards. However, this May the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA is making it possible to bring home a whole lot of love and entertainment for just five dollars. Now through May 31st, adopt any adult cat at the SPCA, Purrin’ at Pantops, Petsmart at the Hollymead Center or the SPCA Rummage Store for just five dollars!

The Five Dollar Feline package includes services normally costing hundreds of dollars: spay/neuter, age appropriate vaccinations, deworming, FIV/Felv testing, an office visit from a participating veterinarian, a bag of Science Diet cat food, an animal behavior CD and a lifetime of priceless love and companionship.

From torties, tuxedos and tabbies to calicos, siamese, maincoons and more, there is a fabulous selection of felines at the SPCA waiting to go home with you.

The warmer months are the breeding season for cats, inundating shelters with kittens during summer and early fall. “Because kittens are so cute, adult cats in shelters are often overlooked during this time,” explains Lisa Lane, Director of Marketing and Development for the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA. “Our goal with the Five Dollar Feline Special is to find loving homes for more than one hundred adult cats during the month of May, before the kittens arrive.”

For more information about the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA call

434-973-5959 or visit www.caspca.org.

The SPCA’s main adoption center is located at 3355 Berkmar Drive in Charlottesville and is open seven days a week from 12:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.

Online Housing Searches

By Gina Farthing So, you’re looking for a new home in the Central Virginia area. Maybe you live in Fluvanna, Louisa, Greene, Nelson, Orange, Madison or Albemarle counties; perhaps you live outside the area. Who do you contact? Where are the homes for sale located? What schools are in said areas? What do you do?

Just a mere 10-15 years ago, if you wanted or needed to move, you had to physically go to an area, find a REALTOR® and enlist their aid in finding a new place. That could take some time and if you were from outside the local area, it meant you might have to either already be there on perhaps a vacation or had to schedule time off to go home hopping. Now in 2013, the Internet might just be your key to that needle in the haystack in your spare time. Oh, the Internet existed back then, yes. But it wasn’t as widely used as a home location tool as it is today.

As Steve Marianella, a REALTOR® with Roy Wheeler-Wintergreen Resort Premier Properties, told Real Estate Weekly in the May 16 issue on locating vacation property, one of the most important aspects to finding real estate in a particular area is that a person needs to secure the assistance of a local REALTOR® due to their familiarity with that area.

“It’s a disservice when REALTORS® come here with a buyer and they are not familiar with information on the area,” he said. “They might have earned a relationship with that buyer, but they are not doing their customer a service.”

Even if you live close to the local area, new subdivisions are constantly going up, and it takes a REALTOR® who knows the subdivision well to explain the ins and outs of purchases there.

So, where do tech-savvy homebuyers turn to receive assistance to fulfill their dream? Luckily, there are a few sites on the Internet that can help: Zillow.com, Trulia.com and the Charlottesville-Albemarle Area Association of Realtors website MyCAAR.com at www.caar.com.

“Eighty percent of buyers go online first,” said Marianella. “Then they contact an agent.”

The CAAR MyCAAR.com site is the public side of the REALTOR® multiplelistings service pages, meaning, what REALTORS® enter into the MLS database at CAAR, homebuyers might now access online, including with whom to speak.

“Every REALTOR® that participates signs a list of ethical standards and rules of the MLS,” said Katie Davenport, CAAR’s marketing and communications specialist.

Once REALTORS® post their listings in the MLS database, buyers are able to view them by a variety of means, including categories, type, price, mortgage payment, subdivision (if any), bedrooms, bathrooms, location, zip code, MLS number, address, square footage, acreage, elementary school, ecological certifications, garage, disability accessibility, land description or year built.

“REALTORS® have said that consumers are interested in these things,” said Davenport, who when she moved to the area with her husband, used the CAAR web site to locate their home.

After search criteria are entered, buyers can view their results in three ways: by list, by map and by gallery. In the list and gallery views, home results can be shown by price, list date and price, or by newest entry.

"REALTORS® get 48 hours to update listings from the date of change, such as sold, under contract and more," Davenport said. This helps to ensure up-to-date information for the Central Virginia area under CAAR auspices.

While browsing the search results, prospective buyers can get more details on specific homes by clicking on choices available and getting a detailed description of the home in question including the agent’s name and contact information.

The user-friendliness of the MyCAAR.com web site provides for a much more streamlined and personal housing search, where buyers who like what they view can see exactly whom to contact for a visit all the way to purchasing the home.

“Last month, there were more than 26,000 unique hits to the MyCAAR.com server,” said Davenport.

“Half of those were through desktop computer searches and the other half was split between mobile devices such as iPads, iPhones and Android phones.”

MyCAAR.com’s MLS database contains 5,476 active listings of homes for sale (at press time), 80 percent of which are in the CAAR proper area of six counties and one city. Twenty

percent are derived from areas outside the CAAR area.

“There’s a lot to draw attention to this region,” Davenport said. Looking at the MyCAAR web site, buyers will be able to see that. “A couple of boards meet regularly to keep the content fresh and accurate,” she said.

Zillow, when searched for Central Virginia, showed 33 listings that were in the Richmond area, pending listings, rentals and a pre-market home in addition to homes for sale. A Charlottesville-area search produced 453 entries, including pre-foreclosures, rentals, pending listings and listings by owner. Searches could then be further defined by filters such as CAAR offers, but not nearly as many.

Trulia offered 921 results for the Charlottesville area, which were then able to be filtered with other criteria, such as a “walk” score from assumedly zero to 100 percent, in a drop box (zero walk scores were not readily searchable for comparison). For those who are real estate savvy, they might know what that score is about, but for the average homebuyer, a walk score could mean how far it is to town or maybe, how nice in which the home is to walk. It was difficult to tell and the site’s help area did not provide a definition of how the word is used.

Another aspect of the CAAR web site is its quarterly market reports that are also run in Real Estate Weekly.

“They give facts about the local market. REALTORS® use the information available to help guide buyers to their dream homes,” Davenport said.

Helpful though they are, Davenport said that online housing search web sites don’t provide the most up-to-date information.

“They try but that’s where the local REALTOR®comes in,” she said. “It’s a true value, there is no substitute for a local agent. So come in through the main gate at CAAR online and find your dream home.”

Note: Representatives for Zillow. com and Trulia.com were offered the opportunity to comment on their web sites but did not.
