hen it comes to financing your home, finding an expert is important. If you’re 62 or older you can qualify for a reverse mortgage, but where can you find an expert in such transactions?

John O’Connor, the Reverse Mortgage Doctor, specializes in this product, making him an expert in the field—the one to go to.

O’Connor opened this branch of American Nationwide Home Mortgage in 2011 and specializes in reverse mortgages for senior citizens.

“With my experience in helping literally hundreds of people obtain a reverse mortgage, I felt it was important to concentrate on our core business, and specializing in something means to not get sidetracked by offering additional types of products that you are not

an expert in servicing,” O’Connor says.

Reverse mortgages are a special type of federally insured loan that allows seniors to convert the equity in their homes into cash, he notes. All proceeds are tax free and do not affect Medicare or Social Security benefits, he adds. To qualify for a reverse mortgage a homeowner must be 62 years old or older and have equity in their home. Credit scores are not looked at, and job and income verifications are not necessary, he adds.

Additionally, no payments are due on a reverse mortgage for as long as one of the homeowners is still living in the home, he says. “The reverse mortgage will be paid back after the home is sold whether that is in the homeowners’ lifetime or upon their heirs settling the estate,” O’Connor adds.

O’Connor helped his parents find the correct reverse mortgage about 15 years ago, researching the products to find the right kind—even before he started in this industry.

At first I was skeptical about the product, but after speaking to many people—and doing my due diligence—I found that the reverse mortgage is a viable product for seniors who want to keep up with expenses, pay off debts and increase their quality of life,” he says.

O’Connor says the number one misconception about reverse mortgages is that the lender takes the deed to the property, which is not the case. “The borrower remains on the deed just like with a regular, conventional mortgage.”

American Nationwide Mortgage Company is a lender who funds, underwrites and closes in its own name. “We are not a broker or middle man in the transaction who has to know three or four different lender underwriting standards, which makes the process simple for everyone,” he adds.

Clients deal with O’Connor from start to finish—ready to answer any questions that

arise during the process. “I will take the time to meet with you in your home or at my office, review the appraisal and will even attend the closing with you,” he notes. “Most of my work is done in Central Virginia and most of that business comes from greater Charlottesville area, although I have helped people from all over the country.” But one thing he won’t do is pressure interested clients.

“I am there with my clients from start to finish, meaning I will be there to joconnor@ go over information, take the application, answer all americannationwide.com questions along the way and will evenjoconnor@ attend the closing with them,” he says. “People can americannationwide.com feel secure in knowing that they will be dealing with a mortgage professional who understands what it means to provide customer service.”

AAR First Quarter 2014 Market Report shows overall sales pace, 492 homes sold in Greater Charlottesville, is even with last year; NEW MEASUREMENT! The 86 land/acreage sales in Q1-2014 mark a 26.5% rise from the 68 sales in that market segment in Q1-2013.

Charlottesville Area 1st Quarter 2014 Highlights: • Closed sales were unchanged compared to Q1-2013, with 492 homes sold in Q1-2014.

• The median sales price of $244,250 in Q1-2014 was up 7.4% from Q12013, the fourth consecutive quarter with year-over-year price gains.

• Half of homes sold in the 1st Quarter were on the market 76 days or less, 18 days shorter than the median days on market (DOM) of 94 days in the same quarter last year.

Market Overview The 492 home sales in Q1-2014 were exactly the same as the Q1-2013 tally.

“The first quarter is historically our slowest quarter as it indicates the results of our winter market, and we all know what a tough winter it was,” says CAAR 2014 President John Ince. “Our 2014 first quarter stats show a decline in activity from Q4-2013 as expected, but the overall improvement by the end of March seems to indicate continued consumer confidence in a healthy local real estate market.”

Albemarle, the region’s most populous county, reported 203 closed sales, with only one fewer sale in Q12014 versus the same period last year.

Charlottesville (+23.4%) showed the biggest year-over-year sales increase, with 15 more sales than Q1-2013. Fluvanna (+12.8%) was the other jurisdic-

Sales Price & Inventory of Homes for Sale The $244,250 median sales price in Greater Charlottesville in the 1st Quarter of 2014 was 7.4% higher than 2013, representing the fourth consecutive quarter with an annual gain.

Four of the six jurisdictions had double-digit year-over-year gains in median sales price in the 1st Quarter.

Charlottesville ($280,000) and Louisa ($171,060) led the region in price gains, up 17% and 16% respectively. Nelson ($220,000) and Albemarle ($318,000) each posted gains near 11.5%. Fluvanna ($181,200) had an 8.2% gain compared to Q1-2013. Only Greene ($202,450) had a lower median sales price compared to last year, with a 19% annual decrease.

While closed sales were unchanged from the same quarter last year, the 787 new pending sales in Greater Charlottesville resulted in a decline of 8.1% from Q1-2013. While the pace of new pendings was down for the quarter for the region as a whole, it should be noted that the 336 new pending sales in March were 5.3% more than the March 2013 total, indicating closed sales should be higher in April 2014 than in April of last year.

NEW: Land Sales There were 86 land/acreage sales recorded in the 1st Quarter, 26.5% above the 68 sales in Q1-2013. The largest plot segment (those with more than 15 acres for sale) saw the largest gain in sold price per acre, jumping 91.3% to $11,871 from $6,206 in Q1-2013. Plots with less than 5 acres sold for $119,388 per acre, a 4.4% annual increase. Overall, land/acreage sellers received 83.5% of original list price and their listings were on market 339 days on average.

Both indicators represented an improvement compare to Q1-2013. The average sales-to-original-list-price ratio of 83.5% was up 7 points compared to the 76.5% level of Q1-2013.

Every Historic Garden Week features a different assortment of properties. Of special interest in Central Virginia this year are several spots listed on the National Register of Historic Places: Bellair Farm, Redlands, Esmont, and Christ Episcopal Church Glendower. Historic Garden Week perennials opening as always include Morven and the gardens at Monticello, plus the University of Virginia’s Carr’s Hill, West Lawn Pavilion homes and gardens, and Morea Garden and Arboretum.

“From a historical perspective, the properties selected reflect the Jefferson era in the styles of the homes and their landscapes,” says club spokeswoman Christina Teague. “Agricultural heritage is highlighted at Bellair Farm, which has been continuously farmed for over two centuries. Here the focus is their Community Supported Agriculture program and their strategies for sustainability that preserve the land and provide food for the community.”

O

h to be in Charlottesville, now that spring is here – and now that it’s Historic Garden Week! We might not realize it as we tour elaborate gardens of grand estates in all their April glory, but we have generations of garden club members to thank for their preservation. “I’d always tended to think of garden clubs as an excuse for idle well-to-do women to socialize,” says one local garden lover who read about the movement while waiting for spring. “But I was wrong. Members were serious handson gardeners, and believed deeply in the importance of gardens to society in the new post-agrarian United States.”

That’s a great description of the women of the Albemarle Garden Club, who banded together in 1914. In 1920 they helped found the Garden Club of Virginia. In 1927 they hosted a flower festival at Monticello that raised $7,000 to restore trees planted at Monticello

by Thomas Jefferson. In 1929 they dreamed up a bigger idea.

“Our hundred year-old club was right there at the forefront of Historic Garden Week,” says longtime club historian Mary Pollock. “At a Garden Club of Virginia luncheon on May 18, 1928, our club members and others at the head table came up with the idea of instituting Historic Garden Week as the means to pay for their first restoration, Kenmore in Fredericksburg.

Making Memories in the Garden:

Garden HISTORIC

Week 2014

BY KEN WILSON

Historic Garden Week funds are still used today partly to fund the extraordinary work done by the Garden Club of Virginia in the preservation and restoration of historic and beautiful Virginia homes and gardens.”

Today the Garden Club of Virginia has 47 member clubs and 3,400 volunteers and is undertaking restoration projects at 41 properties including Mount Vernon, the Pavilion Gardens at the University of Virginia, and the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library.

Gardeners young and old, united and unaffiliated, will celebrate Historic Garden Week for the 81st time Saturday, April 26 through Saturday, May 3. More than 250 gardens, homes and historic landmarks and over 2,000 flower arrangements created by Garden Club of Virginia members will be on display across the commonwealth, in what the club proudly calls “America’s Largest Open House.” For its part, the Albemarle Garden Club will host open homes and gardens Saturday, April 26 through Tuesday, April 29.

The 853-acre Bellair farm eleven miles south of downtown Charlottesville was important to the early history of Albemarle County.

Construction on the main house was begun in 1794 by the Reverend Charles Wingfield, Jr., who served as Magistrate and Sheriff of Albemarle County and, at Thomas Jefferson’s personal request, officiated at Jefferson’s sister’s funeral. In 1817 Wingfield sold the farm to another leading local citizen, Martin Dawson, who helped found the Albemarle Educational Commission, supported the establishment of the University of Virginia and three academies in Nelson and Albemarle counties, and in his will gave the University of Virginia what was then its largest private bequest.

The two-story main house, which overlooks the Hardware River and the Green Mountains in the distance, is in Federal architectural style, with 1930s and 1960s Colonial Revival style additions. The grounds include a mid-nineteenth century guest cottage, a 1930s guesthouse, a mid-nineteenth-century pyramidal-roofed smokehouse, and an early-twentieth-century overseer’s house.

is still owned by the same family that patented the land in 1730. The elegant two-story, five-bay brick home Redlands home, started in 1789 by Edward Carter of Blenheim, and completed by his son Robert Carter in 1798, features fine woodwork and the furnishings of successive generations. The Georgian entrance façade was reproduced from Tidewater models, while the Federal interior reflects the influence of Thomas Jefferson. Redlands was last opened for Historic Garden Week in 2002. Visitors this year will see a newly established mixed meadow along one side of the entrance drive, and newly planted trees in the field below. “The house has such an incredible view of the countryside,” Pollock says, “that it is almost nutritious!”

Esmont Erected circa 1816 and recently restored, Esmont retains many of its original features, including its ornamental plasterwork and herringbone parquet floor. The Flemish bond brickwork is credited to William B. Phillips, a brick mason who helped build numerous University of Virginia structures for Thomas Jefferson, including the Rotunda, the cisterns and serpentine garden walls, and Pavilions I, IX, and X. Jefferson called Phillips’ work at

Chapel at Esmont Farm PHOTO CREDIT: CATRIONA ERLER

the University “the best work done” at the university.

Esmont’s twin parlors, now used as the living and dining rooms, boast Philadelphia marble mantels. European antiques and art are on display throughout the house. The grounds include an octagonal chapel built partly of reclaimed materials, a dairy now serving as a garden shed, and a smokehouse. Esmont was last opened for Historic Garden Week in 1999. Light refreshments will be served.

Bellair, Redlands and Esmont will be open Sunday, April 27, noon to 5:00 p.m. and Monday, April 28, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Tickets for these three estates – the Southern Historic Albemarle portion of the tour – are $35 in advance, and $40 on the day of the tours.

One historic property that has benefitted from the Albemarle Garden Club’s conservation and restoration efforts is the club’s original meeting place, Morven, just up the road from Monticello and Ash-Lawn. Thomas Jefferson, who once owned the 7379-acre estate, referred to it as “Indian Camp” for its proximity to a Native American settlement. In 1813 Jefferson deeded the land to David Higginbotham, a local merchant, who engaged regional architect Martin Thacker to design and build a three-story brick manor house in the late-Georgian/Federal Style.

Samuel and Josephine Marshall bought Morven in 1906 and expanded the Main House with a two-story addition by Baltimore architect Howard Sill. It was at Morven in 1914 that Josephine Marshall and eight other women

formed the Albemarle Garden Club for “the study and culture of flowers.”

Landscape architect Annette Hoyt Flanders restored its formal and cutting gardens in 1930, adding entrance gates, brick detailing, and slate seats, and making designs to plant shrubs, perennials, and annuals in a palette of purple, blue, pink, white, and yellow.

The late John Kluge donated Morven to the University of Virginia Foundation in 2001. Kluge expanded the gardens, which today include tulips, pansies, phlox, lilacs, viburnum and deutzia, a dove tree, a pair of Osage orange trees, and a Chinese chestnut.

Morven will be open to visitors on Saturday, April 26 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., except in the case of rain or wet conditions. Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 the day of the tour. The house is handicapped accessible, but the gardens are not.

The University of Virginia’s beautiful grounds attract visitors year ‘round.

The Garden Club of Virginia began using Historic Garden Week monies to restore the Pavilion gardens and their distinctive serpentine walls in 1947.

Work continues today. The club will conduct tours of the gardens at 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 April 26 through April 29, departing from the Rotunda steps.

Carr’s Hill on the hill above the corner of Rugby Road and University Avenue serves as home to University of Virginia presidents. Designed by the New York architecture firm McKim, Mead and White, and finished in 1909, Carr’s Hill is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It will be open from noon to 4 p.m., April 26 through April 29.

Floral arrangements will be on display in Pavilion homes I, III, V, VII and IX on the West Lawn. The Edgar Allan Poe Room will be open.

Named after the mulberries cultivated for experiments with silkworms, Morea Garden on Sprigg Lane surrounds a historic Federal-period home built by John Patten Emmet, one of the first professors chosen by Thomas Jefferson for the University. Albemarle Garden Club started the landscaped botanical collection in 1964. The tour is limited to the gardens.

A Gardening Heritage In its own 101-year history, Snow’s Garden Center in Charlottesville has landscaped Historic Garden Week properties, advised their owners, and even served as an official event sponsor.

Again this year, Snow’s will offer every ticketholder a $5 gift certificate.

“One of the reasons that so many people like the Charlottesville area is that we’re far enough south that you get a good transition of four full seasons,” says Snow’s co-owner Scott Price. “Spring is always welcomed in by Garden Week, and the gardens show so much diversity. You’ll see a naturalized garden, you’ll see a Japanese garden, and you’ll see a formal garden.”

“Participating in Historic Garden Week is rewarding, especially knowing that the proceeds go for restorations of historic homes and gardens in our beautiful state,” says native Virginian and third generation Albemarle Garden Club member Wendy Winkler, head hostess this year at Morven. “I love the camaraderie. Morven holds a special place in my heart since it is the place where our garden club started. It is also where my mother recruited me to serve as a hostess the first year I became a member.”

Winkler’s grandmother, Hazlehurst Bolton Perkins, teamed up with Jefferson scholar Professor Edwin Morris Betts to write the classic handbook Thomas Jefferson’s Flower Garden at Monticello on the Garden Club of Virginia’s 1941 restoration of Monticello’s grounds “exactly as Jefferson planned and laid them out.”

“Being a member has opened my eyes to a wealth of knowledge in horticulture and conservation,” Winkler says. “I have so many fond memories.”

How Can You Build Great Curb Appeal?

For a place to have that certain something that draws potential buyers into the property from their vehicles—

CURB

Appeal?

BY MARILYN PRIBUS

it needs basic ingredients and they are relatively easy to provide. The house should look clean, welcoming and comfortable. Fortunately, this isn’t all that difficult to do.

“The best way to achieve curb appeal is to highlight the features your home already possesses,” points out Matthews. “If you have tired shutters, get out the paint brush.” If the shrubs are overgrown, she continues, do some judicious trimming or hire some experienced yard workers. “You don’t want a

The front door is the house’s face to the world, so be sure it’s spotless. Give it a fresh coat of bright paint or varnish and be sure the doorknocker, doorbell button, and lockset are up to date and shiny.

What Exactly is

hack job,” she cautions. “If you already have nice flowerbeds, apply some fresh mulch.”

And if you don’t have flowerbeds?

Make a modest investment in some attractive containers planted with seasonal flowers or small evergreens. These will be inviting and “homey.” (Dorothy, who prefers not to give her last name, has a rueful confession about a house she and her husband bought. “I was so taken with two matching pots of these gorgeous geraniums and petunias on either side of the front door,” she says, “I completely overlooked the fact the upstairs bedrooms had no closets!”)

Ensure the lawn is fresh and green.

If you have at least a month before the house will be on the market, consult with a nursery about quick-acting fertilizer, reseeding, or replacing bad spots with sod. Be sure it is nicely mowed all the time and edge tidily along the driveway, sidewalk and gardens.

There are a number of other projects to spiffy up curb appeal and many are inexpensive DIY tactics. For example, the front door is the house’s face to the

“C

urb appeal is the ‘wow’ factor in real estate,” declares REALTOR ® Janet Matthews, owner of Charlottesville Town and Country.

“It means homebuyers can instantly imagine themselves living in a house without ever having set foot inside it.”

Studies show that a majority of buyers won’t even get out of the car if they don’t find a house attractive—if they even visit the property at all. With more and more people shopping for homes online, potential buyers can be turned off from viewing a property, just based on the listing photo alone.

Clearly, addressing a place’s curb appeal is a critical component in marketing and selling a house and this article will feature some easy and, in many cases, inexpensive tips to maximize your home’s exterior sales appeal!

world, so be sure it’s spotless. Give it a fresh coat of bright paint or varnish and be sure the doorknocker, doorbell button, and lockset are up to date and shiny. Some people even invest in a new door. Check that your house number is clearly visible, bright and shiny.

Be sure any porch light fixtures are dust and spider-web free, and the bulbs are working. Keep the front porch clean and invest in a fresh welcome mat. If the porch or sidewalk or driveway is stained, consider a good power washing.

Windows should be sparkling clean.

Having the blinds raised and curtains open is friendly instead of looking like there might be something to hide. If visitors are expected on a gloomy day or in the evening, welcome them by ensuring all the windows are brightly lit.

Check the eaves for spider webs.

Clean out gutters. Repaint or replace any gutters or downspouts with dents or rust and check the ground beneath for washouts. Is the roof itself in good shape? If there are mossy areas, definitely scrub them clean.

Remember that we sometimes tend not to “see” things we see all the time, like a slightly rusty mail slot or a rural mailbox that isn’t quite straight. Consider replacing your mailbox or at the very least repainting it. Straighten your rural mailbox post and paint it to match your house or front door. You can even plant a small garden around the post.

Matthews has a final, overarching recommendation. “Keep clutter off the front lawn, driveway, porches, and entryways,” she says. This includes children’s toys and bikes, garden and lawn tools, and especially trashcans. “Neat and tidy is always appealing!” n
