The Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS® (CAAR) announced the induction of 57 REALTORS® into the 2017 class of the CAAR Professional Honor Society during a ceremony on Thursday, March 1 at the Glenmore Country Club.

This prestigious accolade has been a long-standing award program at the state level and was instituted by CAAR in 1996 to recognize standards of industry excellence. A total of 180 different REALTORS® have reached this pinnacle achievement in the local program’s history. The 2017 class marks the 22nd year for six CAAR members and the first year for nine members.

The selection process for each year relies on four core areas: association involvement, professional development, leadership and volunteer participation, and the success in either production of sales or ability as a managing Broker.

This event was sponsored by: Stony Point Design/Build, LLC., CAAR Real Estate Weekly, SunTrust Mortgage, Stanley Martin Homes, Student Services & Moving Company, UVA Community Credit Union, HMS Home Warranty, and George Mason Mortgage. Photography by Tod Cohen Photography.

What’s Happening in Town?

Introducing Virginia Humanities: an Updated Brand for One of the Nation’s Most Influential Humanities Organizations Since its founding in 1974, Virginia Foundation for the Humanities has grown to become the most diversely funded, most diversely programmed, and one of the largest state humanities councils in the country. After 44 years of service, Virginia Foundation for the Humanities is simplifying its name, clarifying its message, and renewing its commitment to bringing relevant programs to the citizens of Virginia.

The new brand, Virginia Humanities, simplifies the name and logo, while a new graphic identity system will help us achieve greater recognition for the outstanding work being done by our staff, programs, and partners.

The effort began with extensive research conducted by teams of graduate students at the VCU Brandcenter, which identified the need to clarify the important role Virginia Humanities plays in helping Virginians tell their stories, explore their differences, and connect through what we all have in common.

“Virginia Humanities is a remarkable asset to the people of the Commonwealth. We offer a diverse array of programs—from public events to radio programs to books and a rapidly-growing group of digital resources—that help Virginians explore our past and better understand our present,” said Matthew Gibson, Virginia Humanities’ executive director. “But our research showed that even people who enjoy our programs may not know about the organization behind them. The new identity system will allow us to demonstrate the connection between our programs and help us make the case for the work we do.”

The new brand identity takes an adaptable approach to showcasing the many faces of Virginia Humanities in a system designed by Journey Group, a Charlottesville-based design studio.

“Virginia Humanities is an organization that explores the diversity of Virginia’s heritage, so we didn’t want to create a system that was limited to one representation,” said Greg Breeding, president of Journey Group. “The new system allows each program of Virginia Humanities to express its unique story, while connecting all programs with a common symbol inspired by the state of Virginia.”

The new graphic system will be rolled out across all programs over the next six months. The new look comes with a renewed commitment by Virginia Humanities’ board and staff to highlight stories from every corner of the Commonwealth and to help recognize a shared sense of humanity at a time when divisions may be easier to see than the values that unite us.

“We believe this work has never been more important, and we invite all Virginians to join us in our mission as we start this exciting new chapter as Virginia Humanities,” said Gibson.

About Virginia Humanities: The mission of Virginia Humanities is to connect people and ideas to explore the human experience and inspire cultural engagement. We reach an estimated annual audience of 23 million through community programs, websites and digital initiatives, grants and fellowships, radio programs and podcasts, the Virginia Folklife Program, and the Virginia Center for the Book.

Come Celebrate All Things Literary

BY KEN WILSON

efore there were pixels there was print, and before there were tweets there were books, and in Charlottesville we haven’t forgotten. We love our books and their authors, and we love “our” Virginia Festival of the Book, the annual celebration of all things literary with everything from story times for the pre-literate to brunches with the “literati.”

More than 400 speakers—authors, illustrators and other publishing professionals—and as many as 30,000 happy readers, are expected for the readings, discussions, book signings, film screenings, and musical performances of the 24th annual Virginia Festival of the Book, Wednesday, March 21 through Sunday, March 25 in Charlottesville and Albemarle County.

Produced by Virginia Humanities, the Festival is a program of the Virginia Center for the Book, an affiliate of the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. With more than 250 programs this year, including 83 school classroom visits by Festival speakers, it’s the largest community-based book event in the Mid-Atlantic region. More than 150 of its programs are free and open to the public with no tickets or reservations required.

“So many books, so little time,” as the saying goes. Where to begin then?

For Virginia Center for the Book Assistant Director Sarah Lawson, one of the “true highlights” of the 2018 Festival will be hearing The New Yorker’s David Grann discuss his page-turner, Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI. “I read his previous book, The Lost City of Z,” Lawson says, “and loved it. Reading this latest book from him, I was amazed how his writing is so adaptable to different historical narratives, but also how thorough his research is!”

Grann will join Rutgers University history professor Erica Armstrong Dunbar (Never Caught: The Washingtons’ Relentless Pursuit of Their Runaway Slave, Ona Judge) and New Yorker poetry editor and Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture director Kevin Young (Bunk: The Rise of Hoaxes, Humbug, Plagiarists, Phonies, Post-Facts, and Fake News) for In Pursuit of Truth: An Evening with the National Book Awards, Saturday, March 24 at 8:00 p.m. at the Paramount Theater.

in 1964, Melvin played wide receiver for the University of Richmond Spiders and was drafted by the Detroit Lions before being sidelined by a pulled hamstring during training camp.

After earning a Master of Science degree from UVA, he began working for NASA as an engineer in 1991, and was selected as an astronaut in 1998. Despite a severe injury that left him partially deaf, Melvin flew two missions on the Space Shuttle Atlantis in 2008 and 2009, logging over 565 hours in space.

Melvin will share stories from his memoir Chasing Space: An Astronaut’s Story of Grit, Grace, and Second Chances at this year’s Read & Lead Lunch, Wednesday, March 21 at 11:45 a.m. in the Ballroom of the Omni Hotel.

American History, African-American Food A body can work up a good appetite just reading about good food, and a lot of folks will be getting hungry on Friday March 23, during two back-to-back programs on the history of African-American cooking.

Kelley Fanto Deetz’s Bound to the Fire “recasts the image of the plantation cook as a figure of power, dignity, and, frequently, resistance” in a “lively and insightful account of a still-largely-unfamiliar aspect of the history of American slavery,” says Publishers Weekly.

“Certified barbecue judge” Adrian Miller’s The President’s Kitchen Cabinet: The Story of the African Americans Who Have Fed Our First Families, from the Washingtons to the Obamas is further subtitled The Surprising Story of an American Cuisine, One Plate at a Time.

Both men will be on hand for Histories of Food & Eating: African-American Perspectives at 4:00 p.m. at the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center.

Renowned culinary historian Michael W. Twitty offers fresh thoughts on the old American problem of race in his memoir of Southern cuisine and food culture, The Cooking Gene: A Journey Through African American Culinary History in the Old South.

This very personal work of history “traces his ancestry—both black and white—through food, from Africa to America and slavery to freedom.” Twitty will share his story in UVA’s Ruth Caplin Theatre, in the

same building as Culbreth Theatre, at 6:00 p.m. The program is free, but tickets must be reserved through the UVA Arts Box Office.

Left, Right and Center— American Politics 2018 As a Democratic Congressman from Pennsylvania, Jason Altmire was a centrist known for working both sides of the aisle to find bipartisan solutions. He has written about the experience and what it taught him in Dead Center: How Political Polarization Divided America and What We Can Do About It. Nicole Hemmer is Assistant Professor of Presidential Studies at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center.

Her book Messengers of the Right looks at three men instrumental in the rise of conservative political media: radio host and political organizer Clarence Manion, book publisher Henry Regnery, and longtime National Review publisher William A. Rusher.

As a radio and television correspondent working in Washington, but hailing from long-divided Ireland, Caitriona Perry brings a valuable outsider’s perspective on disaffected America in In America: Tales from Trump Country. The three writers will discuss our polarized political state in American Politics: Left, Right & Center, Saturday, March 24 at 12:00 noon in the City Council Chambers. Carlos Lozada, nonfiction reviewer for the Washington Post, will moderate.

Book on a Wall If a picture is worth a thousand words, a sketchbook must be a graphic novelist’s best source of inspiration.

Art educator and graphic novelist Laura Lee Gulledge’s Sketchbook Dares invites readers to sketch objects from memory, doodle with their non-dominant hands, and tell their stories with both drawings and words.

At Studio IX from March 2 to April 2, Gulledge will exhibit a thematically related book on a wall: twenty-five illustrations and mixed media pieces, each with a caption by the artist and a space for guests to write their own captions. Collectively they illustrate what she calls her return trip from her “Hero’s Journey,” a personal vision quest that took her from Charlottesville to New York and parts far-flung.

“The interactive element is asking guests to share part of their story rather than giving captions to my story,” Gulledge says. “I want people to see their life as a story. There are

John Singer Sargent painted over 900 portraits, so it’s no wonder it took author Donna Lucey over a year to figure out which ones to write about.

In Sargent’s Women, Lucey uses four of Sargent’s sitters as a “portal” into the Gilded Age, its “extraordinary architecture, its outsized subjects, and the larger than life lives they lived.”

“I was drawn to these particular characters because each woman was unconventional in her own way and did something to break the social conventions of her time,” Lucey says.

“They look so placid and beautiful. They were so privileged and wealthy and charmed, and ergo they led these perfect lives. Yet when you read the stories, it’s a shock how crazy they are. They were constantly traveling and consorting with all of the most famous people in the world. They lived life at the highest volume.”

Northern Virginia author Ellen Crosby has a master’s degree in international relations, worked on Capitol Hill, and written feature stories for the Washington Post, but there was a time when she could have used some good Pub Day advice herself after her husband was transferred overseas.

“I really loved writing,” Crosby says today. “We moved to Switzerland and I was kind of at loose ends and I thought, ‘I’ll write a novel, how hard can it be?’ and of course it was pretty hard.” Crosby buried the manuscript of that first novel in a garden in England (sleuthers take note), but she kept writing, joined writer support groups, and is today the author of the eight-volume Wine County Mystery series, set about fifty miles from Washington, D.C. The most recent entry in the series, The Vineyard Victims, concerns a Virginia vineyard-owning presidential candidate (no, not that one) and deals in part with a 30-year-old murder at UVA. “I’ve had help from Monticello—since Thomas Jefferson was such a wine aficionado—with two previous books,” Crosby says, “so there is a lot of local history from your neck of the woods.”

Crosby will join Maya Corrigan (The Tell-Tale Tarte), Mollie Cox Bryan (Macrame Murder), and Sujata Massey (The Widows of Malabar Hill) for Caught Up in Murder, Saturday, March 24 at 4:00 p.m. in the Omni Hotel’s Ballroom B. The program is one of eight panels and signings comprising the ever popular Crime Wave portion of the Festival, beginning the night of Friday, March 23 and running throughout the day on Saturday.

Crime Wave will begin with Friday Night Noir, Friday, March 23 at 8:00 p.m. in the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center, in which three popular crime authors—Lyndsay Faye (The Whole Art of Detection: Lost Mysteries of Sherlock Holmes), Attica Locke (Bluebird, Bluebird) and Amy Stewart (Miss Kopp’s Midnight Confessions)—will make their first Festival appearances.

Little Island “Book festivals are little islands of goodness and sanity in this world,” Stew-

art says, which explains why she’s coming all the way from Oregon for ours.

Donna Lucey agrees. “We came here from New York where we knew lots of writers, but in New York everyone had their knives at your back,” Lucey says.

“There wasn’t this camaraderie or community feeling. Here in Charlottesville everyone is very generous and appreciative of each other’s work. It’s a great writing town and book loving town, and the Festival is just fantastic.” n

T

here is a lot of excitement about the 2018 real estate market and sellers are happy to see their homes move quickly from listed to sold at prices that make them smile.

For buyers this a more challenging market as dwindling inventories of homes for sale leave them with fewer options and force them to move quickly when they find one they like.

It’s still a good time to be a buyer, however, as interest rates are historically low and prices, while rising, have not yet returned to what they were before the recession. The best piece of advice for buyers, then, is “to understand the process so when you find the right home, you will be able to act as quickly as possible,” says Michael Guthrie, CEO of Roy Wheeler Realty Co. In other words, if you are a home buyer the only way to take advantage of the good buys still available, while you lock in a favorable interest rate, is to be prepared. Fortunately your local real estate professionals, both agents and lenders, stand ready to help.

First Steps The first step is to find a REALTOR® and “put trust in them” as the experts who have helped many others through this complex process, says Jamie White with Montague, Miller & Co. - Downtown. And while the process is always complex, in this fast paced market it is even more so, meaning buyers who hesitate frequently lose out.

Part of being ready is to familiarize yourself with the amenities of the different areas in our region and think about the house features most important to you. Your agent can then “help you fine tune your search for a home (new homes and for sale by owners included)” that will have what you want at an affordable price, Guthrie noted.

Especially if you are a new buyer, it is also a good idea to get comfortable with the home buying process. A good resource to help you get acquainted

How Buyers Can

ROCK the 2018 Market

BY CELESTE M. SMUCKER

with the terminology, the procedures, and the requirements for buying a home, is the Piedmont Housing Alliance (PHA), suggests Julia Morris with Fulton Mortgage.

Buyers must also contact their local lender about getting pre-qualified to purchase a home. If you don’t have one in mind, your agent can refer you to some trusted lenders they work with, Guthrie says.

The lender’s job is to determine whether you qualify for a mortgage and how much house you can afford.

They can also advise you about the type of loan that is best for you and educate you about down payment and closing cost assistance that is available, should you need it. For those with credit issues, they can help with a program to get things straight or refer you for counseling at PHA. The lender will also write a letter that states the amount of home you qualify for. When you find the one you want, your agent will include this letter with your purchase offer to assure the sellers that you are good for the money

and will be able to follow through on closing day.

Having this lender letter in hand is essential before you start looking for homes since it will be difficult to get an offer accepted without one.

Negotiation and Contingencies A big part of your agent’s job is to help negotiate the best possible purchase contract, one that meets your needs on issues such as price and movein dates. But they will also advise you on the best way to structure your offer to meet the sellers’ needs, keeping in mind the very competitive market we are in. This means, for example, if price is an issue, you may need to offer a bit extra if you want the seller to pay some of your closing costs, Guthrie advises.

Most purchase contracts are contingent on getting a professional home inspection, and while these are optional and can be waived, Guthrie strongly recommends doing the inspection.

He also suggests talking to your agent about the advisability of obtaining home warranty protection.

Your contract is also contingent on receiving loan approval. Even if you are a great candidate for final approval you need to be aware of some pitfalls such as running up credit card debt prior to closing. Talk to your lender about what you can and can’t do and definitely don’t borrow money for major purchases like a car or furniture.

Once the home inspection is completed and any additional terms negotiated, much of your work is done. However your agent will keep in close touch to help you with things like choosing a closing attorney or settlement company to handle the legal documents you will sign at closing. They can also help you find an insurance agent to provide hazard insurance for your new home.

The closing professionals will work with you, your agent and your lender to make sure they have all the information they need to complete the paperwork.

Keep your phone on and respond quickly to requests for information so as not to hold up the process.

While the closing process can feel stressful at times, your REALTOR® will be there for you all along the way, and “the more informed and prepared you are, the smoother it will feel to you,” Guthrie advises.

You will also have a team of other real estate professionals working with you and your agent and your lender to get you through it with as much ease as possible so you can focus on how much you will enjoy living in your new home. n Celeste Smucker is a writer and blogger who lives near Charlottesville.
