us something like this will really help struggling borrowers that are giving up on the idea of home ownership,” says Privlo’s Chief Credit & Product Officer Saro Vasudevan. “We have a wealth of real estate and financial expertise, but more importantly, I like to tell our customers we’ve been there. We understand the frustrations and setbacks our customers may have faced, and we know it doesn’t have to be like that. I think that’s what makes us different than your usual banker or bank manager,” Slavin says. http://www.privlo.com

What’s Happening Around Town? Privlo Launches Alternative Mortgages In Virginia Privlo, a VC backed alternative mortgage lender, is expanding its operations into Virginia, offering an alternative to creditworthy borrowers whose career, lifestyle, and finances may be considered too complicated to prove to traditional lenders. People with uneven or seasonal incomes, self-employed entrepreneurs, borrowers with a single blemish on their credit record, Millennials with nontraditional career paths and independent business owners are being left out of the housing market because they don’t fit within the mold of traditional lenders’ rigid borrowing requirements. Privlo aims to fix that with a technology platform and business processes that better qualify individuals, taking into account a far greater number of factors in one’s personal history and future financial prospects to assess a mortgage application. “Borrowers have changed dramatically in the last couple of decades. There’s an entire class of solopreneurs, freelancers, small business owners and even just regular folks who are much more creditworthy than their tax returns might show. We’re finding that even in traditional professions like nursing and law, people are being rejected for mortgages when in fact they are extremely well qualified,” says Privlo CEO Michael Slavin. “These are people positively contributing to our economy. They should be able to buy a home just like the generations before them.” The problem is especially pronounced in a state like Virginia where 1 in 5 purchase applications were denied last year. “Virginia is seeing a boom in independent businesses like aquaculture, wine, biotech and technology startups, and realtors in the area tell

Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry vies for votes in Walmart’s Food Pantry Holiday Makeover Competition Walmart has announced finalists in an exciting grant campaign, naming Charlottesville’s Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry, Inc. as a contender to win a $20,000 grant. The grant is aimed at infrastructure improvements and will be awarded to the 75 food pantries that earn the most votes from the public by December 12th. Voting began December 2nd and Facebook users are encouraged to vote daily between now and December 12th. Winners will be announced Monday, December 15th. Visit http://cvilleloavesandfishes.org/ for voting details. “We have so many dedicated volunteers, donors and supporters in this community and it is our hope they will rally and vote for Loaves & Fishes each day so we’re able to win the grant to help area families. $20,000 will make a big dent, funding an expanded and improved food distribution space in 2015.” said Loaves & Fishes Executive Director, Margaret Burruss. “For many low-income families in our community, the holidays can put a lot of stress on already tight household budgets. We always see an increase in people visiting this time of year. The holidays are also a time when we all naturally think about giving or volunteering to help those in need, but even if you are unable to give or volunteer at this time, giving us a click could help us win $20,000 in much needed funding.” said Burruss. Loaves & Fishes opens its doors for food distribution five times each week, serving a monthly average of 5,900 individuals in 1,700 households in Charlottesville and surrounding counties. The organization is gearing up for a major 2015 expansion, including relocation to a more spacious facility, which will greatly improve their ability to support those in need.

he didn’t realize at first she’d interrupted a burglary. The elderly, deaf dog was dozing on her usual chair and everything looked fine. But when the homeowner, let’s call her Jean, turned on the TV to check the news, it didn’t work. She checked it over and found the cable connection was undone. Odd, she thought, plugging it back in. She put away her groceries, then went to change her clothes. As she glanced out the window, she noticed the substantial woodpile had collapsed all over the side yard. And then she realized she was looking out a window with no glass in it. Later, Jean and her husband pieced together the story. Someone—they believe it was teenagers because of what was taken—had scaled the six-foot fence, broken the window (while the dog slept on), taken two pillowcases from the bed and started loading things into it. A dresser drawer of jewelry, a watch, an iPod, an iPad, an Xbox and several Xbox games, the small wireless router for the computer, a pair of high-end sunglasses. And, her sons discovered when they arrived home

Creating A Comprehensive

HOME INVENTORY BY MARILYN PRIBUS

from school, two packages of Oreos. Evidently the thief or thieves had been preparing to make off with the television when Jean arrived home. They’d fled over the back fence, knocking over the woodpile in their haste to escape. When she called their insurance company, there were many questions she couldn’t answer. Since things were

taken from various rooms it was hard to figure out just what was missing. What jewelry had actually been in the drawer? When exactly had the Xbox been purchased? How much had the wireless router cost?

Inventories Are Essential What if you were a victim of a burglary or a fire, flood, or other disaster?

Do you ever look around your house and think, “Wow, I’ve got a lot of stuff?” From the obvious things like televisions, the piano, and appliances to the things tucked away in cupboards, closets, and storage areas—from pots and pans to ski poles, guitars, and Christmas ornaments—chances are good you own hundreds, if not thousands of things. Creating a comprehensive home inventory is one of those things we all know we should do, but somehow never get around to. “I’m guilty,” admits Steve Harper of Harper’s Insurance Agency, a family-owned operation in Charlottesville. “I did one once, but I haven’t kept it up to date.” An inventory can be crucial, he points out. “If you leave your home today and come home to find a pile of ashes, do you remember everything you have in your home? You’d be shocked, displaced, and under tremendous stress so when it’s time to talk with an insurance adjuster, it’s going to be so tough.” Theft, he points out, is a more common risk. “TV sets, computers, and Xboxes are popular targets,” he says,


High-Value Items And Other Special Situations When is a sofa not a sofa? When it is an antique. Appraisals of antiques, valuable paintings or other artwork, jewelry, weapons, and other items of unusual value are important to have in case of a claim. Generally, the cost of extra insurance is related to the value of the items. You might want a separate section in your inventory for such items. Include the provenance, if this is appropriate, in addition to the usual purchase price and date information. Harper explains that most homeowner policies have caps in coverage for particularly valuable items such as fine arts or antiques. “There are limits for theft for high-value items,” he says, “generally furs, jewelry, and guns. For example, a typical policy might have a theft limit of $1500 for firearms. You definitely need an extra rider for those high-value belongings.” Doing business from home is another situation to address. “If you have a home office, you should have an endorsement,” advises Harper. “This is a

Inventory Options It used to be people simply kept an accordion file of receipts for everything they bought and inventoried items in a notebook. Later people developed spreadsheets on their computers, then started taking photos of each room, opening closet doors and dresser drawers to record their property. Later still, it was popular to stroll through the house room-by-room with a video camera narrating as they shot the room’s contents. These days, however, many people are going digital. This makes creating an inventory much easier and also easier to update as items are replaced or updated. Home inventory software programs are similar, of course, but they do vary when it comes to extra

keep in a safe deposit box. These days many people store their inventories on a cloud. There’s a wide variety of software programs for creating and maintaining household inventories. Googling “home inventory software 2014” will take you to listings comparing products ranging in price from $10 to $60. There are also free programs. For example, insurance agent Harper suggests taking a look at The Allstate Digital Locker® online at Allstate.com. It’s a free app for smartphones or any Internet-connectable computer. Once the user creates a free account, the “locker” on a secure data-storage cloud can be accessed from any internet-connected device. Users can create their own categories, add photos and link them to multiple items. To take a look, visit, www.DigitalLocker.com. The Insurance Information Institute is an organization that seeks to improve public understanding of what insurance does and how it works. It has created the free Know Your Stuff © - Home Inventory. This is a creation wizard for entering information about yourself, your property, and your individual insurance company. This means you can easily provide information to your insurance provider in the event of fire, flood, tornado, derecho, hurricane, other natural disaster, or a burglary. This information is stored remotely on secure servers so is accessible from any computer, even if yours has been destroyed or stolen. KnowYourStuff is also available for iPhones or Android. Information on both computer and smartphone software is available at www.KnowYourStuff.org

features. Here are some enhancements to consider. Basic inventory software should have a variety of fields to help with inventory management. For example, you should be able to add purchase price and date, manufacturer information such as model numbers and serial numbers, photos, repair histories, and each item’s location. Some programs go well beyond basic inventory creation. For instance, you might be able to add beneficiaries for specific items or appraised values in case of professional assessment. It’s helpful to have customizable categories. Some people inventory room by room, others prefer to inventory by category such as all the furniture in one file, electronics in another, small appliances, garden equipment, china and glassware, linens, or musical instruments in still others. You definitely want software that is easy to use, has good printing capabilities, easy backup, and easily accessed help documentation such as tutorials and a user’s guide. It’s also helpful to be able to contact customer service and technical support. Of course, you’ll want to keep original receipts, especially for major items, in a secure place. In addition, consider scanning them to a CD if your inventory software doesn’t have receipt storage capability. Whenever you make a substantial purchase, be sure to add it to the inventory promptly. It’s essential to keep a copy of your inventory—whether written or digital— outside of your home. Use a trusted (and organized) relative or friend or

simple rider that covers your computer, fax machines, et cetera. The additional cost very modest, but very important.” He adds that people with home-based businesses with what he calls “in-andout traffic” also need special liability insurance. Examples might be music teachers, accountants, and beauticians. Day care, in particular, requires special coverage. “I encourage people to sit down and do a review of not only personal possessions but also liabilities you might have, because you have to know your exposure on your property as well as off,” Harper continues. He cites four-wheelers as an example of potential liability, as well as hunting or even playing golf. “Also,” he says, “you may need extra insurance on ‘toys’ like jet skis and boats.”

Reconnaissance A good strategy is for two people to tackle one room at a time. One person can open doors and drawers, hold items for shooting pictures, separate clothing on rods, and then put things away again. Don’t overlook storage spaces like attics or storage sheds to itemize outof-season items such as holiday decorations, seasonal sports equipment, or camping items such as the propane camp lights equipment. So don’t postpone this any longer. In the best case, you’ll never need that inventory. But if something bad happens, you’ll be glad you cataloged your n things. Marilyn Pribus and her husband live in Albemarle County near Charlottesville. When they were burglarized some years ago (in another state), they were glad to have good records when it was time to place a claim.

“and every one of those Xbox games has a value, too.” He uses big flat screen television sets as an example. “When did you buy it?” he asks. “What was the model? Maybe XYZ was top of line last year, but not now. Knowing exactly what you have can help you acquire replacement cost.” With any insurance claim, the adjuster will need to know the numbers behind the losses. “The claims office needs to know what did you lose, what was the model number, how much did it cost,” Harper explains. “Trying to do a mental recall can be really tough. You need to know what the item was, what is its value, and when you got it.” Ideally, you should have information on: • Date of purchase • Purchase price • Manufacturer • Serial Number • Model Number • Value of any high-value items that have been appraised Having an up-to-date inventory is helpful in several ways. First, it’s a good yardstick for measuring whether you have sufficient insurance coverage. Second, it’s crucial if you need to make an insurance claim. Third, it can help substantiate a claim for uninsured losses on your income tax return. With colder weather here, now might be the perfect time to undertake an inventory, spending an hour or two each weekend for as long as it takes. That way, if the worst happens, you’ll have an updated and complete list.

Delight the Five Senses

This Holiday Season (StatePoint) To create a memorable holiday experience this year, turn your gifts, celebrations and home décor into a festive feast for the five senses.

Beautiful Sights One sure sign that the holiday season has arrived at your home is when all the festive lights, décor and colors are on display. Trim your tree with DIY ornaments for a personal touch and add a wreath to your home’s entryway, so that visitors immediately feel welcomed before they even step inside. Using scented candles in a variety of styles and sizes, you can create an intriguing and creative tablescape or mantlescape. Simply swap out smaller accessories to make the decorations last throughout the winter season. One easy option is to try an electric wax melt warmer, which can be used with a variety of different fragrances and warmer styles and has no wick or flame.

Seasonal Sounds Fill your home with joyful holiday sounds. Luckily there are a variety of genres within the holiday music category. Whether you and your guests prefer contemporary pop, jazzy classics

or choral hymns, there is something to please listeners of every sensibility.

Wonderful Aromas The scents of the season should evoke the feeling and spirit of the holiday from sweet and spicy notes to a cool brush of frosted fir. You can accomplish this with holiday cooking and baking as well as with scented candles. For example, the Pure Radiance line from Yankee Candle offers special holiday scents such as Christmas Candy, Winter, Cinnamon, Holly and Ice Crystal. The fragrances and sleek design offer style and ambiance, as well as a smooth crackling flame for a welcoming, peaceful atmosphere. You can also set the holiday mood traditionally with their new Festive Fragrances line. The tumbler jar design comes in a variety of sizes to suit any home decor. To add to the warmth of the season, incorporate scented candles throughout your home and consider gifting them to friends and family to spread the cheer. More ideas for celebrating the season with scent can be found at www.YankeeCandle.com.

Festive Flavors

Feel the Warmth

Certain flavors are so closely associated with the season that it wouldn’t be the same without them. Cinnamon, mint, nutmeg and ginger can be used to flavor drinks and desserts. From eggnog to peppermint tea to gingerbread cookies and houses, don’t forget to give your taste buds a treat and spice it up!

Stay warm this holiday season. Cozy up with thick rugs, warm blankets, pillows and throws. A soft pair of slippers is a winter must have, and make a great holiday gift. From tablescapes to the warmth of holiday aromas, it’s easy to delight all of the five senses this holiday season. n

and many foster families even help by marketing their foster pet to help them find a new home. You can apply by visiting the SPCA website or visiting the

main facility on Berkmar Drive. For more information about the SPCA call 434-973-5959 or visit our website at www.caspca.org. n

Whisker Wonderland Adoption Event This Saturday at Fashion Square The Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA invites the public to experience Whisker Wonderland inside Charlottesville’s Fashion Square on Saturday, December 13th from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Adoptable cats and kittens donning holiday garb will deck the halls of the mall for this holiday adopt-a-thon. There will be more than thirty-five cats and kittens to meet and mingle in one of our festive kitty visiting tents. In order to spread a little extra holiday cheer, the SPCA is discounting adoption fees to just $5 for all adult cats and $35 for kittens. By

adopting this holiday season, not only will you make kitty’s Christmas wish of a new home come true, but you’ll take home a cat or kitten that has received services normally costing hundreds of dollars like spay/neuter, age appropriate vaccinations, de-worming, FIV/Felv testing, plus you will receive a free medical exam from participating vets, a microchip with lifetime registration, a free animal behavior CD and a lifetime of priceless companionship and cuddles. It’s the purrrfect holiday present. If you are not in the market to adopt, the SPCA has a fun, short-term way to help homeless pets this holiday season: participation in the SPCA’s Foster for the Holidays program. Residents can foster a pet for a couple of weeks or just a few days during the holiday season,
