Property Management Inc. Announces Grand Opening of Office In Charlottesville Property Management Inc. (PMI), an international franchise company, recently announced the grand opening of a new property management office servicing Charlottesville and the surrounding counties.
“We are excited to able to provide state-of-the-art property management services to the people of Charlottesville,” said Michael R. Johnson, President of PMI Charlottesville. “Our office is located at 200 Garrett Street in Charlottesville and we welcome everyone to see our new office and find out more about what we do for tenants, property owners, real estate agents and brokers. What attracted us to the Property Management
Inc. system is that we can manage properties the owner’s way.” PMI provides next generation management services that give residential and commercial property owners more control of their properties while providing greater asset protection. The property owner only pays for the services they use. PMI, with headquarters in Utah, is an international franchise company with independently owned and operated offices throughout North American, Panama and Russia, which are providing property management services to the real estate industry. With the current market conditions, the property management industry has grown extensively. For perspective, in the U.S. alone there are over 115 million homes,
condominiums, and apartments and about one-third of these are rentals, which require property management services. Additionally, there are over six million commercial buildings in the U.S. representing almost eight billion square feet of floor space. “I have worked in the property management industry for over (25) years and I am excited to be providing professional management services to Charlottesville and the surrounding counties. “We will be working closely with other real estate professionals as most agents would rather be listing and selling and not managing properties. We will be offering referral fees to agents bringing us properties to manage.” According to Steve Hart, President of Property Management Inc., “We

Journey Winds Down on July 31 in Bristol, Virginia – Still Time to Support Bike for Seniors The Bike for Seniors campaign has one more week to go, but the energy and support show no signs of stopping. Drake Van de Castle, CAAR member and Crozet resident, has established many new relationships in sharing the best practices of the local community partnership with CAAR, AHIP and BRHBA to make critical home repairs that allow seniors to live in their own homes as long as possible.

assist with medical care and placing the dogs. According to the SPCA Medical Director, many of the dogs at the SPCA from the Page County Puppy Mill are suffering from severe diseases and will need dental surgery prior to adoption, which the SPCA will provide. All dogs will be medical and behaviorally evaluated and spayed/neutered prior to adoption. “We are so thankful to be in the position to help Animal Rescue Corps give these dogs a chance at loving homes. We are also always happy to help our neighboring animal welfare organizations save more lives,” says Laura Jones, SPCA Director of Operations. “In the case of a large seizure like the one in Page County, it takes many organizations working together to save the lives of hundreds of pets in need.” Many of the rescued dogs are now available for adoption at the SPCA and others are still receiving medical care. The public can meet the dogs at the SPCA daily between Noon and 6PM. The mission of the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the lost, abandoned, and homeless animals of the City of Charlottesville and the County of Albemarle and to increase the number of these animals being placed in appropriate, loving, and permanent homes through adoptions, foster care, and outreach, and to

O
nce upon a time prospective homebuyers asked their agents to search the local MLS and find the listings they thought their clients would like best. Back then only REALTORS® had access to MLS information, and buyers who wanted to be more independent had to rely on print ads, open houses or just driving through neighborhoods looking for signs – not a strategy that worked well for out-of-towners. In today’s world buyers have many ways to search for properties and neighborhoods including popular, for-profit real estate websites such as Zillow or Trulia, which offer information on which homes are for sale or for rent and for how much. Consumers also can search for homes at realtor.com and caar.com, and those who want to visit a few listings before going out with their agent can find announcements of open houses at most of these sites as well. The easy availability of online information has fundamentally changed the way people buy and sell homes. Buyers and sellers are more knowledgeable about the process than they once were, and a big part of an agent’s role
is now helping them accurately interpret and make sense of the enormous amounts of available information. The accessibility of online resources also means that successful agents have to become effective Internet marketers. Whereas once the term “curb appeal” meant how the house looked from the street, today it is more about how it looks in photos and virtual tours. Many also have become adept at using social media such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to help get the word out to prospective buyers. For better or for worse, the Internet has changed the way we do real estate, opening up the market to buyers all over the world and demanding that agents learn the skills required to take advantage of the different outlets for marketing their listings.
How Buyers Find Homes “Most people today start their home search online, and those numbers are growing yearly” said Amy Webb with Nest Realty. “It’s the number one place to go for anyone who is even remotely thinking about searching for a home,” she continued. They don’t just find homes this way, Webb explained. Buyers also go to the Internet to get information on the metropolitan area, the schools, parks

and recreation and job opportunities. They also go online to compare several different localities or neighborhoods or to look at satellite images for an overview of an area’s resources. “We see a much more educated and informed consumer,” who, she added, is likely to be prepared with questions about a nearby industrial facility they noticed on a satellite image, or about the potential flooding risk from a river or creek a few blocks away. When it comes to what is on the market for sale, “often by the time they call me they have a list of homes to see and have ruled out others,” Webb said. Unfortunately, online information may be either incorrect, incomplete,
or may not apply locally. This means a big part of the agent’s job now includes helping both buyers and sellers to correctly interpret the information they have found from online sources so they can understand how what they have learned applies (or not) to their particular situation. Todd McGee, with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate III, agrees stating that the information out there, especially on the for-profit sites is “not always accurate or up to date,” since it is based on averages which can’t take relevant details into consideration. Recently he received an email from a client who was excited about seeing a home that was advertised as “for sale
Just as buyers and sellers find and utilize online resources, agents are learning to use the Internet to provide all manner of information to their customers and clients. Today 90 percent of buyers start their property search online, so it is critical to use the Internet for marketing, explained Rick Walden with Virginia Estates, adding “we were one of the early companies to have an online presence.” He described their website as very user friendly, with five or six ways to search for properties, making it accessible to people with all different styles of acquiring information. Kehoe’s business also benefits from her online presence. “I can’t imagine not having a website,” she said. She believes prospects are looking for data and will gravitate to sources that provide the most complete information. For example, at one time it was com-
One Stop Shopping As consumers rely more and more on information they find from online sources, agents are responding with websites that are one-stop shops. McGee recently refreshed his personal website, which allows consumers direct access to the database of homes for sale as well as a list of resources such as a neighborhood’s walk score or school information. REALTOR® blogs can also be an important consumer resource. McGee blogs regularly on topics of interest to homebuyers and sellers including updates on listings and neighborhoods as well as consumer information such as how to clean a jetted tub, or how to spot termite damage. Another local blogger is Jim Duncan with Nest Realty (realcrozetva. com) who has maintained his site for years, regularly updating it on local issues and information that impact real estate. He explained that an important part of Crozet’s appeal is that it is near Charlottesville, but it still maintains a small town feel. On his blog he regularly describes Crozet as a place where
residents can breathe clean air, enjoy mountain views and appreciate the “slower pace of life.” He added that out-of-town buyers looking for those qualities in a place they want to live often call him, having read all about it on his blog. “It’s nice to know that people are doing this kind of research,” he added. Webb maintains a personal website where consumers can search for homes using filters such as neighborhoods or schools districts. She also blogs on real estate topics, such as understanding your credit score, or the ins and outs of wells and septic systems. While people accustomed to living in a rural area may be familiar with well and septic issues, she explained, someone relocating here from a big city is grateful for information that lets them evaluate the costs and benefits of living out in the country and what that means in the way of inspections and upkeep.

realistically represented online. Occasionally buyers even purchase a home based only on online resources and assistance from their agent. McGee once sold a listing to some clients who were out of the country when they purchased the home. They based their decision on the virtual tour photos and didn’t actually visit the house until after it closed.
A New Way to Do Real Estate The Internet is changing the way REALTORS® do business making them into what Webb calls “curators of great information,” as they help their clients sort through the vast amount of data available online. The result is consumers who are better informed and better able to make decisions about some of the most significant financial decisions of their lives. Call your REALTOR® ton day to get started.

Agents As Online Marketers
mon to market homes via brochures that intentionally excluded the price to give prospects an incentive to call the agent for more info. Today, however, if an online description doesn’t include a price, the prospect will just call another agent, Kehoe explained. Many of Kehoe’s prospects find her online and send inquiries. “I live off emails,” she said, which she uses to stay in touch with her clients and answer their questions. She lets buyers know what new properties are on the market and keeps sellers informed about recent sales and listings that may impact the price on their home. Part of having an effective online presence is showcasing each property appropriately, Webb said. This means using excellent professional photos. First, though, homes must be in their best condition, since in most cases consumers will see pictures online before they ever go inside, and if they don’t like the pictures they may choose to look elsewhere. Before the photographer arrives, sellers need to declutter as cameras are “distracted by small objects,” Webb said. Cameras also like natural light so open all the drapes and let the light in before taking photos. Sprucing up the landscaping is also a must as the first view will likely be of the home’s exterior. Even if it is an older home, it still needs to look “clean, bright and appealing,” Webb said. She likened the process to finding a date on match.com where everyone always presents himself or herself in the best possible way. At the same time, it’s also a good idea to “keep it realistic,” Webb said. For example, photos should give a true idea of the home’s size and not be too “photoshopped.” Otherwise, she said you are just “setting prospects up for disappointment.” She gave the example of buyers coming in from out of town who only have 48 hours to look at houses. Neither these buyers nor their agents appreciate wasting time with homes that aren’t

by owner” on one of these sites. However, the client was soon disappointed when McGee discovered it had actually been off the market for some time. McGee has run into similar issues when working with sellers who research real estate sites for estimates of what their home is worth. Since the figures are based on averages omitting critical details about similar sales, the result may be an inflated price or one that does not accurately reflect the home’s true value. McGee recommends realtor.com and caar.com as having information that is more accurate and up to date. However, even these sites don’t provide complete data on every transaction. Agents, on the other hand, are familiar with the neighborhood, have been inside many of the homes and can speak to their condition and location in a way that no third party site can do. They also have access to details that affected a home’s sales price, such as that the seller offered a $2500 carpet allowance, or it was a short sale, or the seller had already moved out and was anxious to close. Understanding and communicating the nuances of a local market to both buyers and sellers based on experience is a big part of the agent’s job. McGee described it as helping them to “navigate, interpret and decipher the data.” Open houses are another source of information for buyers or for sellers trying to get a feel for what their home may be worth. These are advertised locally on caar.com, which Karen Kehoe with RE/MAX Regency agrees has the most current information on local real estate issues. However, open houses are also featured on sites like Zillow, she said.

Louisa County Public Schools GREG DORAZIO PUBLIC INFORMATION SPECIALIST | LOUISA COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
A
t Louisa County Public Schools, we know that each student is capable of learning, achieving, and succeeding. We know that graduates need to be prepared for the workforce as well as the classroom. We know that a child is much more than a score on a standardized test. Through innovation, compassion, and hard work, Louisa County Public Schools is fulfilling the promise of public education and has emerged as a top-caliber school division in the growing central Virginia area. Louisa County High School’s advanced curriculum options allow our best and brightest to graduate with not only a diploma, but also an associate’s degree, at little to no cost for families. Due to the education level of our faculty, LCHS is able to offer college credit courses right on campus every day.
LCHS has also developed one of the most varied and successful on-campus Career and Technical Education programs in the state. Our students hone job skills, earning industry certifications and licenses in fields such as the culinary arts, firefighting, cosmetology, building trades, turf management, nursing, and many more.
U.S. News and World Report recently bestowed its Bronze Award on LCHS, one of the only high schools in our region to receive the honor. Despite the challenges and disadvantages many of our students face, they continue to learn and pass the SOL tests at a higher-than expected rate compared to their peers at other high schools. All of this is accomplished while the LCHS building, destroyed in the August 2011 earthquake, is being rebuilt and classes are held in modular units in what was and will again become the parking lot. The stage for that across-the-board success is set at Louisa County Middle School, where pass rates continue to rise. Student achievement and school spirit go hand-in-hand at LCMS,
which has also become a leader in the school division’s Olweus Anti-Bullying Program. While the middle school years can be challenging, our team at LCMS takes a whole-child approach to support our young learners and prepare them for the next exciting steps in their development. Moss-Nuckols Elementary School, which serves the growing Zion Crossroads area, uses a garden as the centerpiece of its emphasis on nutrition and wellness. Second-graders cultivate staples, such as lettuce and tomatoes, which supply the school cafeteria. They grow other vegetables, such as bok choy and Swiss chard, which are used in school-wide taste tests, exposing students to new foods. Jouett Elementary School, in eastern Louisa, has implemented the highly-regarded Responsive Classroom curriculum, which develops the rhetorical and conversational skills of students through daily interactions. Students also participate in a number of community-building groups, such as the Garden Club, which has beautified the grounds. Jouett’s Trailblazers program helps dedicated students develop leadership skills, while teaching them that true leaders serve. The August 2011 earthquake destroyed Thomas Jefferson Elementary School, but the resulting challenges could not shake the heart of its ded-

icated faculty and staff. In August, the Patriots will begin the new school year in their new school building. The school’s Odyssey of the Mind team has become popular with students and successful, with one group nearly earning a trip to the national competition this year. Individual responsibility is reinforced for students in the BRAVO program, serving the needs of the school. Thomas Jefferson’s monthly Key competition encourages positive actions for students as groups, with monthly rewards for those classes that remain on their best behavior. Trevilians Elementary School, serving western Louisa County, recognizes that success takes a different form for each individual student. With the motto “Create, Achieve, Celebrate,” the school encouraged short-term goal
setting for every student this past year. Students determined their own weekly marks of success and earned treasure box prizes when they reached them. The school emphasized other incentives this year, including a weekly vocabulary assignment, which resulted in participating students being eligible to attend a school pep rally with the high school’s football team and cheerleaders. Louisa County Public Schools is a smaller district in a rural setting and has overcome the loss of two schools40 percent of student capacity- in the August 2011 earthquake. Despite the challenges we face, we’ve solidified ourselves at the top of the region, thanks to our focus on each student as an individual, our compassion for each student and our dedication to each n student’s success.
