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 go over information, take the application, answer all questions along the way and will even attend the closing with them,” he says. “People can feel secure in knowing that they will be dealing with a mortgage professional who understands what it means to provide customer service.”

NEWS & VIEWS

After Bill Howard’s father Whitey Howard died of Alzheimer’s disease more than 20 years ago, Bill, who is a commercial real estate agent in Charlottesville, wanted to do something for the Alzheimer’s Association which had provided information and support to his family during the time they were caring for his father. “I am a golfer so I thought I’d start a tournament to raise money for the local chapter,” said Howard. In 2015, the 17th annual Bill Howard Golf Tournament & Derby Party will be held on May 7th and 8th. The tournament will be at the beautiful Birdwood Golf Course on Thursday, May 7 and the Derby Party will be at the Charlottesville Omni the evening of Friday, May 8. “I am proud to say that we have raised over one million dollars for the Central and Western Virginia Chapter so that it can continue to provide the programs and services families need when a family member is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or any other type of dementia,” said Howard.

“With the community’s support, the Bill Howard Golf Tournament and Derby Party will have its best year ever,” emphasized Sue Friedman, Alzheimer’s Association chapter president. “Everyone with a brain is at risk of Alzheimer’s, so every person and every business has a reason to join in the fight against Alzheimer’s.” For more information on the event and to learn how you can be a sponsor or sign up your golf team, contact Bill Howard (434) 906-1240 or Sue Friedman at the Alzheimer’s Association (434) 973-6122, ext. 108.

HOME garden FESTIVAL:

Improving Homes, Helping Neighbors BY KEN WILSON

As Executive Vice-President of the Blue Ridge Home Builders Association (BHRBA), Kristin O’Connell Sorokti might be expected to think that Central Virginia is “a very, very good place” for homebuilders and home improvement buffs. But O’Connell doesn’t ask us to take her word for it. O’Connell invites us to see for ourselves. The BHR-

BA shows it to us every year at a trade show that has companies both in state and out calling her up to book a booth, and more than 1,500 building and landscape professionals, home handymen, and do-it-yourself-dreamers coming to check out the latest in building concepts, gardening and landscaping ideas, and remodeling solutions. Come

spring, we dig and dream, hoist and hammer. But first comes the Home and Garden Festival. The 2015 BHRBA Home and Garden Festival will be open to the public at the John Paul Jones Arena on Saturday, March 28 and Sunday, March 29 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For the first time, both admission and parking will be free. Once again, BHRBA will collect donations at the door for the Albemarle Housing Improvement Program (AHIP), a non-profit that aids seniors and other community members in need. A professional trade association organized in 1964, the BRHBA unites builders and developers with the allied trade industries, businesses, and professions that have interest in the building industry. BRHBA works to consolidate resources and build coalitions that will develop the industry and the community. Its annual Home and Garden Festival is the largest and only trade show of its kind in Central Virginia, with 130 indoor and outdoor vendor booth spaces available. “This has been a big local event for 42 years,” Sorokti says. “The idea is to

give our builders and anybody in the homebuilding industry the opportunity to interact with the public and share all of their innovations with the community. Homeowners, and even people who are renting, can get ideas of what they can do in their home or their future home. They can see what is out there in the market now.” “As you walk into the main lobby, AHIP will be building a pretty spectacular display with one of our landscape partners,” says BRHBA president Ben Davis. “There will be a beer garden with local favorites.” Blue Ridge Pizza, Mouth Wide Open, Carpe Donut, and Pie Guy will be on hand with food trucks. Hourly door prizes and kids’ activities will add to the festival atmosphere. Davis is also Sales Director for Charlottesville’s Craig Builders, Home and Garden Festival sponsors for 42 years. Founded in 1957, Craig specializes in both attached (one-level villas and townhouses) and detached homes, all built to customer specifications. “We see that buyers are looking for handson information,” Davis says. “We want to be there for folks interested in build-

ing a new home from scratch.” Besides displaying photos of some of their homes and offering advice about customized homes, the Craig folks will bring along a face painter and a puttputt miniature golf hole. For Richard Pleasant, owner of the hot tub, swim spa, and exercise pool business EnviroSmarte, the Festival is “an opportunity to show our products to people looking to improve their backyard and outdoor living space. It’s a convenient way for people to see lots of products related to that whole environment at one time instead of going to my shop and then maybe going to see a landscaper,” he says. “All those

different aspects are right there. Many of us work with each other anyway.” Besides meeting new customers and making sales, Pleasants says the event offers another type of business activity, “the networking between companies that goes on before and after the show.” Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville comes to the Festival every year, with info about its work and a selection of wares from its Allied Street store. “Usually we bring a sample of our smaller inventory like hand tools and paint, says Habitat’s Caitlin Riopell. “We try to bring at least one item from all of our departments to

process is that there are people who are in need throughout the year, whether we have a storm or not, for basic things like indoor plumbing and heat – the essentials that we kind of take for granted, that these families went without on a regular basis. So that’s where the inspiration came to start AHIP. We serve the county and the city, so we’re a very local, hands-on organization.” Since its incorporation 38 years ago, the group has served roughly 2,000 clients. Its 353 volunteers put in a total of 3,195 hours in fiscal year 2013-14 – equal to an estimated $70,859 worth of financial support.

Since BRHBA first partnered with AHIP in 2012, it has donated an estimated $40,000 in in-kind labor and material and donations. This year again, BRHBA will ask each festival goer for a $5 donation for this important local charity. “We are delighted to be working with our friends and partners at AHIP,” Sorokti says, “and to support the remarkable work they do here in our community to keep our neighbors safe, warm, and dry.” “There is a huge need right now,” Ravi Respeto says. “We have about 412 families on our wait list. We are able to service about 150 families a year, and

as we’re helping folks, new people are coming on to our wait list. At any given time we have 30-40 families that are going through the process. That’s just the need that we know of. Those are people that have actually called and reported what kind of rehab or critical repair issue that they’re having, so it’s probably larger than that.” Roughly half of these families need emergency repairs to their homes. The other half need home rehabs. When families and individuals ask for help, AHIP assesses their needs, conducts a financial assessment to as-

certain that they’re eligible for services, and then rates their situation in terms of urgency. Families with small children, individuals with critical illnesses or disabilities, and seniors typically get priority. Oftentimes people call lacking heat in the winter. “We get a lot of that,” Respeto says. “Some families heat by opening the door of their oven, or by kerosene heat which is very dangerous. Those are homes that we would get to right away.” Other people call lacking water because their wells need electrical or mechanical repair. Seniors recov-

We are always looking for new groups and individuals that want to get involved.” ReMax REALTOR® Rachel Reynolds began volunteering with AHIP on one of the semi-annual Build Days sponsored by the Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors. In the last couple of years she’s done “everything from helping paint exteriors and interiors of homes, and building decks and porches, to fundraising in our silent auction and live auction.” Respeto describes AHIP’s booth at the Home and Garden Festival as “an outreach” about both the organization and the importance of housing in creating a vibrant and healthy community. “One of our primary objectives right now is to get folks to understand the financial aspect of how we operate,” she says. “We do get public funds, but they’re dwindling. Twenty-five percent of our funds now come from private sources, and that is going to go up to about 50 percent in the next few years.” Bob Hughes with Nest Realty has been attending the Home and Garden Festival since he began his real estate career back in the early 90s. Even though, as a REALTOR®, Hughes is “typically swamped on weekends show-

ing houses,” it’s an event he hates to miss. “I love seeing the new products that are coming out, and changes in the whole home building process,” Hughes says. “It is always great to run into people I have not seen in awhile. A lot of my clients love to attend. We in this area are very fortunate to have such a extensive annual show.“ “I think the Home and Garden Festival is a great opportunity for the local public to get to understand what type of services are provided in our community,” Respeto says – “not just the non-profit sector but all the great businesses that we have. Encouraging people to think local and buy local is n really important.”

Comparative Market Analysis

Being Sure the

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

xperienced REALTORS® will tell you it’s critical to price a property appropriately from the get-go. Research shows overpricing a home and then dropping the price several times often leads to a final selling price that’s less than what you originally should have asked. In fact, the longer a property stays on the market, the lower the eventual selling price is likely to be. Naturally, sellers want to sell their property based on what they paid for it and definitely for enough to cover their mortgage balance. The truth, however, is that the house is only worth what the market says it’s worth. If the price is too high, potential buyers might not even look at it. On the other hand, if the listing price is below market, the property will sell quickly, but for less than it could have. Just ask Todd McGee, a broker with Charlottesville’s Nest Realty. He’s helped many folks set well-gauged listing prices. His advice? “I would tell people that next to selecting their real

PRICE IS RIGHT BY MARILYN PRIBUS

estate professional, setting an accurate list price is the most important thing you do when it’s time to sell.” He points out the listing price must reflect today’s market, not what the house was worth last year or what the sellers “need” to get out of the property. “It’s really important to take into account similar properties sold in last six months and also your active competition,” he declares. “Overpricing your property will enable similar, right-priced houses on the market to sell first.” Some people scout out websites such as Zillow or Trulia. While these give a general range of prices, histories, and even tax bills for a specific property, they include properties not currently on the market and there is no guarantee of accuracy. Besides, McGee observes, no computer-based algorithm can replace the experience of a real estate professional who has actually been inside similar places in the last six months and knows local neighborhoods. “Zillow, for instance, doesn’t take into account what might be next door

or across the street,” he points out. There’s a lot of difference in being adjacent to a boarding kennel or daycare center or being next to a greenspace or golf course. He does mention Realtor.com as a good site with listings of properties currently on the market. The searchable website has filters for zip code, type of home (condo, single family),

The best tool for determining a listing price is a comparative market analysis (CMA) of recently sold properties. These properties should be similar in terms of number of bedrooms, square footage, school district, age, improvements, and other amenities such as a garage, basement, or fireplace. It’s seldom possible to find a twin to the property being sold, of course, but the CMA will give a range of prices. Other considerations are similar properties currently on the market, how long various properties were on the market before selling, whether properties have been withdrawn because they didn’t sell, and the difference between the original listing price and the eventual selling price of the properties. (McGee reports that last year, most of his listings in our region sold within about three percent of the listing price.) People usually receive CMAs from REALTORS®. “Usually it’s good to talk to a couple different agents from different companies,” suggests McGee. “Different agencies might offer different services. Let the agents know what your specific goal is. For example, do you need to sell the house within a month? The need to move fast is a factor that will impact price and marketing strategy.” He also says agents won’t be upset that you are consulting with others. “Agents know it’s a job interview,” he says. “You have to realize that different professionals will have different ideas. On might say you should do these five things to get ready to sell while another might say do nothing. You have to trust your relationship with the person you choose.” McGee also suggests sellers ask questions when meeting with real estate professionals. Questions might include: What concessions are buyers asking for, such as helping with closing costs, leaving appliances, or giving an allowance to replace carpeting? Have you sold properties in our neighborhood? Should we do a home inspection before listing? “A lot of our job is managing sellers’ expectations,” concludes McGee. “If we can inform about how it will go, it will be a smoother transaction. And setting a realistic listing price can make all the difference.” n Marilyn Pribus, formerly a real estate agent in Newport News, lives with her husband and their new CASPCA shelter dog in Albemarle County near Charlottesville.
