I first became a believer in reverse mortgages almost 20 years ago...

(before I was in the industry) when my parents first considered doing a reverse mortgage themselves. My Mom asked me to help her do some research and that’s what started me on my path of wanting to eventually be the expert on the subject.

It’s amazing to me today that I still hear the same false rumors from people sometimes that I heard two decades ago. The mortgage company does not take title to your home and yes the heirs still inherit the home upon the borrower’s passing. Those are the two most misunderstood topics. And yes the money you receive is not income so it is not taxed as some people think. Also, Medicare and Social Security are not effected by the proceeds that you receive from a reverse mortgage. And yes it’s true that you are not required to ever make a payment for as long as you live in the home.

I am very patient when I speak to clients and take my time explaining everything face to face with absolutely no pressure to move forward because I remember how much my parents appreciated it when the person that they worked with showed them the same respect.

I have never experienced the Sunday night blues of knowing that you are going back to work the next day as some people talk about. My job is a career that I never plan on retiring from because I genuinely enjoy working with my clients and seeing how their lives are benefitting from eliminating debt and by opening up a line of credit that can be used to help them for the rest of their lives. Every client’s story is a little bit different but they are all hoping to achieve a better life and I enjoy being a small part in that story.

Reverse Mortgages for Senior Citizens Contact John for a no pressure meeting.

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

A Reverse Mortgage can significantly increase your quality of life in retirement years by eliminating debt and providing funds to keep up with the cost of living.

Please feel free to contact me to discuss anytime or schedule to meet in my office or in the privacy of your home. All meetings are absolutely no-obligation and confidential.

THE ROYALE Opens at Live Arts and Runs Through June 8 The Story It’s 1905, and Jay “The Sport” Jackson dreams of being the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

But in the racially segregated Jim Crow era, his chances are as good as knocked out. When a nefarious boxing promoter concocts a plan for “the fight of the century,” “The Sport” might land a place in the ring with the reigning white heavyweight champion.

Loosely based on the life of Jack Johnson (1878–1946), the first African American world heavyweight boxing champion, THE ROYALE packs a punch in exploring one man’s ultimate fight to beat the odds for a place in history.

IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN!

The annual Festival of the Home, organized by the Blue Ridge Homebuilders Association (BRHBA), is coming to the IX Art Park on Saturday, June 1, 2019 between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.

This family friendly event is free (as is the parking!) and everyone is welcome.

As always the Festival will feature the latest trends in home decor, technology, renovation, building and finance all in one place. Come learn what’s new and what would work best at your house when you visit local vendors and attend the hourly Ask an Expert seminars. And don’t forget to bring a list of questions.

Food trucks from A Taste of Home Southern Cuisine, Angelic’s Kitchen,

and Mouth Wide Open plus beverages from Potter’s Craft Cider will be at your service throughout the day. And while their parents are busy learning new things, there are a host of activities for kids from face painting to an onsite scavenger hunt to keep smiles on their faces.

Festival goers can also learn about the many valuable services available from AHIP, a local non-profit that provides “emergency repairs, home rehabs, and energy-efficiency upgrades to families in Charlottesville and Albemarle County,” with a mission “to ensure safe, affordable homes for our neighbors in need.”

BRHBA and AHIP “have a long history of partnering on events and proj-

ects”, explains Jenny Tapscott, BRHBA’s Executive Director. The folks at AHIP “really do help locals.” Visitors will pass through an AHIP-built structure at the entrance to the Festival and have an opportunity to make donations to support the organization’s mission.

Loan officer Julia Roberts with Fulton Mortgage Company, the event’s Presenting Sponsor, invites everyone to come join the fun saying, “the 2019 Festival of the Home is a wonderful way to meet the experts at one of Charlottesville’s most unique venues.”

Visit festivalofthehome.com to learn about AHIP, view a complete list of vendors and get more details about activities for kids.

Lots to Do and See The Festival offers “all your home improvement needs at one location,” Tapscott says. It is one of two major events organized by the BRHBA each year, the other being the Parade of Homes, coming up the first two weekends in October.

Look for participating companies from interior designers to painters, decluttering and energy saving consultants, downsizing and HVAC specialists, builders, maid service, lawn and garden experts plus the mortgage companies that can help you secure a home improvement line of credit to pay for it all.

There will also be “a ton of kids activities” from a bounce house to

Financing Renovations and New Construction

If you are considering home improvements, you’ll want to explore your financing options based on the size and scope of your project, as well as your plans for repayment: short-term or long-term.

For improvements to a home you already own, home equity credit lines are popular for the flexibility they offer, while fixed-term equity loans offer a regular monthly payment. Both of these options keep your current mortgage in place.

For a smaller project such as a new roof or heating and cooling system, an unsecured term loan might meet your needs without requiring home equity.

Large renovation projects and additions can be financed with a renovation mortgage, which refinances your current mortgage while adding the construction costs, into one permanent mortgage.

For building a custom home, First Citizens offers a variety of construction-to-permanent mortgage options.

First Citizens offers a full array of options for your home improvement plans. Let us help you move your project forward!

The Festival has something for everyone. It is all about celebrating being a homeowner, says Ryan Schuett, Mortgage Consultant with Prosperity Home Mortgage and Chair of the Festival of the Home committee.

She adds that it is a great opportunity to get answers to house related questions whether you are a long-time homeowner or someone who just moved to Charlottesville who wants to get better acquainted with the community and its home related services.

While much of the information may be available online, the Festival offers a unique opportunity to meet a variety of different vendors in one day and talk with them face-to-face.

And in case you are wondering what’s new in the way of color schemes, cabinetry, and plumbing fixtures of all kinds you will find answers from the experts at the Festival along with the low down on the latest green technologies, homeowners insurance or super-fast internet service. Or maybe you have questions about how to have a greener lawn or want to hire a cleaning service.

Find all of that and more plus informa-

tive hourly Ask the Expert seminars at this year’s Festival.

For example, don’t miss the seminar

by Legal Shield that will cover issues related to how to protect yourself from identity theft, and how to find an attorney if your personal information is compromised, Schuett says.

Are your attic and garage full of excess stuff? Do you need help with the headaches of moving or downsizing?

Plan to attend the AskLandis seminar and learn the best ways to organize, declutter, store, donate or get rid of what

you no longer need. The experts can also answer your questions about staging and cleaning your home in preparation for putting it on the market, explains company co-owner Stephen Landis.

Have you been contemplating a DIY project? “You will find lots of opportunities to meet someone who can help,” explains Jimmy North who is proud of the family- and woman-owned green HVAC company, AirFlow Systems, that he and his wife Mary have operated since 1988. He suggests if you have a particular project in mind bring the details and a list of questions.

The Norths especially look forward to sharing ideas about the advantages of geothermal heating and cooling systems. And you can get more information from a representative of WaterFurnace, one of AirFlow’s partner companies, who will give one of the Ask the Expert presentations.

Casey Eves, with Casey Eves Design joins the Norths in urging attendees to bring details about an ongoing or planned home project so that you can learn about the best resources to complete it. This includes getting a feel for the professionals you meet to see if they are people you are comfortable working with, especially if you anticipate a large project like a major renovation or addition.

Since the Festival is a family affair that welcomes kids, Eves also suggests bringing your spouse or partner along.

As the mother of small children, she understands that with two of you there, one can watch the kids and enjoy popcorn and snow cones, while the other gets serious answers to important questions without interruptions. And then of course you can trade places.

Festival attendees can also take their questions to the experts at LEAP (Local Energy Alliance Program), a local non-profit. LEAP is dedicated to reducing energy costs with energy assessments for homes and businesses, income and age-qualifying weatherization programs, solarize campaigns and education and outreach.

Energy Savings Green technologies, especially if their focus is helping consumers save on energy bills, continue to be of major interest to homeowners. And if you are one of them the Festival offers a wealth of resources.

Vendors include energy conscious homebuilders such as Bramante, Southern Development, and Stanley Martin Homes who welcome questions about the latest in energy saving strategies.

Or come chat with Sigora Solar about the rebates and savings available when you install solar panels to offset your energy costs. Depending on how long you stay in your home you could save as much as $20 thousand that otherwise would have gone to your utility company.

While the best time to choose solar is when you purchase a new home, Sigora also designs systems for existing homes and installs them on all sorts of roofing materials.

Substantial energy savings are available with geothermal heating and cool-

Design Trends

ing systems as well, North says adding that homeowners can expect payback on their investment in about six years, earlier than with solar panels. Geothermal installations also have fewer moving parts than other systems making them more reliable and less expensive to maintain.

And if you hurry there is a 30 percent Federal tax credit when you install one, although it runs out soon. In 2020 the credit drops to 26 percent, the following year to 23 percent.

Energy savings info will also be available from a variety of other vendors such as Richmond Window Corp, that is “dedicated to help provide phenomenal solutions for some of the most common energy and environmental challenges we face today.” Creative Conservation offering “a wide range of residential and commercial services to keep your space comfortable, efficient, and environmentally-friendly,” will also be on hand along with Weatherseal Insulation Company to name just a few.

If you want to enjoy current trends in home design but are drowning in clutter—or want to downsize but hate the thought of sorting and throwing or giving away the excess—the first step may be to find creative ways to cope.

Landis helps people sell, discard or donate their excess stuff through his company’s connection with auction houses and charitable organizations.

They share a percentage of the proceeds from any sale, he says, adding that his company has handled everything from garden tools to $100 thousand antiques. Their clients also get the benefit of tax write-offs from donated items.

If you want a new look for your place, you will find the Festival offers a unique opportunity to learn about a range of design elements all in one place. For example, are white cabinets still popular? And what about granite countertops?

All white is still “a popular choice for kitchens,” Eves says. However, she is also seeing a move towards more vibrant colors such as a bold-colored island surrounded by white cabinets.

The island in her kitchen is dark green, a color that is growing in popularity, she adds.

When it comes to countertops, many homeowners love the look of marble but don’t want to pay its price, Eves explains. Fortunately for them, materials are available now that look like natural marble for lots less. One popular choice is quartz, which represents a move away from granite.

Keeping maintenance low is another reason a growing number of home owners love quartz countertops, says

Amy Hart with Dovetail Design & Cabinetry. They like that it is non-porous and doesn’t stain, and it never needs to be sealed, making it lower maintenance than other options. It can cost more but for many “it is worth budgeting for,” she adds.

Hart does whole house interior design but specializes in cabinetry. She welcomes questions about installing new compared to painting existing cabinets. “Painting often costs more,” she advises. Come to the Festival to find out why.

Another popular low maintenance item is luxury vinyl floor coverings, which Eves describes as “technology keeping up with demand.” It looks just like wood, she says, adding that it is both waterproof and scratchproof making it extremely durable. One of her recent design projects was a 3,800 square foot home that used this floorcovering throughout.

If you plan to update your home or buy a new one, or if you are just curious and want to spend a fun day talking to experts in the field, come join the Festival of the Home at the IX Art Park on Saturday, June 1 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more details check out the Festival website at festivalofthehome.com.

Albemarle Home Improvement Program:

Meeting Needs,

Meeting Neighbors

BY KEN WILSON | PHOTOS BY DOMINIQUE ATTAWAY PHOTOGRAPHY

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

T

alk to Jennifer Jacobs, Executive Director of Albemarle Home Improvement Program, about the home rehab and emergency repair work the non-profit organization has been doing in Charlottesville and Albemarle County for over 40 years, and you’ll hear words like “cause” and “mission.”

“There is a lot of talk and energy around affordable housing right now,” Jacobs says. “We want to make sure that as many people as possible know our mission.”

Kimberly Carter in Crozet knows.

Carter was living in the home she was born in 37 years ago, taking care of her mother and expecting a new baby when she realized she couldn’t put off the multiple serious repairs her home needed. Working part-time at a childcare center, Carter couldn’t begin to afford . . . well, let her tell it.

“The floors in both of our bathrooms were rotting and very weak. The birds had kind of dug a hole in the ceiling. Some of the siding was rotten and falling apart. There was a leak in the roof; we have paneling on the inside of our house and water must have gotten inside of it and kind of busted it out. Both the front and back porch were rotten, and the storm doors were rotten. Our range was broken, only the stovetop was working.” Carter’s home needed, she says now, “just a little bit of everything.”

“Finally, when the birds started trying to come into the house,” she remembers, “I was like, ‘OK, this is it. I feel like I should start calling AHIP because now Brooklyn [her daughter] is coming and we can’t have a dangerous house.’”

Carter’s was hardly a rare situation, so she had to wait a bit. AHIP helped 148 families last year, and has served over

3,000 since 1976, and funding lags behind need. But in 2017, AHIP’s crews began working on her house. And they still are. This month they replaced the lining in her chimney. Electricians replaced sockets that weren’t up to code, as well as light switches and a ceiling fan.

“The three project areas we work in are emergency repairs, rehabs and energy efficiency upgrades,” Jacobs says.

“Emergency repairs are the most voluminous. In terms of cost, the rehabs demand more resources, because we’re doing more work for each family that we help. Energy efficiency upgrades are often woven into the rehabs, so most of those rehabs are also energy efficiency upgrades in some part. So far this year we’ve done 36 rehabs in the City and the County, and for emergency repairs we’ll do 59 in Albemarle and 48 in Charlottesville.”

AHIP’s Block-by-Block program focuses this work on neighborhoods and

subsections of neighborhoods, revitalizing and protecting them, keeping families safe and preserving the affordable housing stock.

“We started with the 10th and Page neighborhood,” Jacobs says. “We did 41 rehabs there over the course of about four years, and then we moved on to the Orangedale and Prospect neighborhoods in the City, and right now we’re working in Belmont. I think we will have done seven there this year.

Orangedale is largely done.”

AHIP can do all this because they’re a Class A contractor and an EPA-certified renovator, with their own crew to carry out most of the work. HVAC repair and replacement, and energy upgrade insulation projects are contracted out. Volunteers from groups including the Blue Ridge Homebuilders Association and the Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors (CAAR) come out on volunteer days to take on tasks like painting, building ramps, and laying flooring.

“The real estate community understands the importance of the work we do,” Jacobs says, “from a practical, wealth building standpoint, from an emotional standpoint, and from a safety and security standpoint. They get it.

So they have been just incredible allies and champions of this work in terms of donations, and in terms of volunteers for events.

“I can’t imagine AHIP without having a partnership with CAAR. It’s been integral to our success in raising our profile in the community which has enabled us to garner more support, which keeps us going.”

When Rachel Foster came to Charlottesville three years ago and began managing a local office for Long & Foster Real Estate, she looked for a volunteer opportunity that complement-

“As public dollars disappear and it becomes more expensive to do rehab, every year we need more and more private funds and in-kind contributions to make sure we get the work done,” Jacobs says. “It’s a big challenge in this environment to do that and do it quickly.”

AHIP will be a presence at the 2019 Festival of the Home on June 1 in Charlottesville’s IX Art Park, which will feature home improvement vendors, kids activities, music, cider, food trucks and more. This free and open to the public event will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., rain or shine. Donations for AHIP will be collected at the door.

“I want to make sure that when people think about affordable housing, in addition to thinking about the new units that we need, they’re also thinking about the importance of preserving the existing housing stock where people live now,” Jacobs says.

“What we’re doing is not complicated work, it’s not rarified or very sexy. But we’re preserving a house for somebody whose family has lived there since the turn of the last century.

It’s a pretty humbling experience to be able to do that.” n

COMMUNITY

ed the company’s work and would provide an opportunity “to give back to our community in meaningful ways.”

She found AHIP. “It’s easy to give money to different programs, but to meet our neighbors who are in the greatest need and be able to donate our time to support them has just been really meaningful for us. Two weeks ago we built a wheelchair ramp for a family in Orangedale, the loveliest family in town. It’s a blessing to see how we’re able to make an impact on these families.

“My agents love to do it; I love to do it. It’s the sort of thing you can carry with you as you go through the stresses of the rest of your workday, to be able to carry that experience with you is precious.”

Funding for the work comes from a mix of public and private dollars. “We get funds from Albemarle County and the City of Charlottesville, whose Affordable Housing Fund has been a big, big, supporter of rehab in the city over the last 10 years,” Jacobs says.

Other sources include Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) block grants issued to the City and County, and loan and grant funds from housing programs, mostly for seniors in rural areas, from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

I first became a believer in reverse mortgages almost 20 years ago...

(before I was in the industry) when my parents first considered doing a reverse mortgage themselves. My Mom asked me to help her do some research and that’s what started me on my path of wanting to eventually be the expert on the subject.

It’s amazing to me today that I still hear the same false rumors from people sometimes that I heard two decades ago. The mortgage company does not take title to your home and yes the heirs still inherit the home upon the borrower’s passing. Those are the two most misunderstood topics. And yes the money you receive is not income so it is not taxed as some people think. Also, Medicare and Social Security are not effected by the proceeds that you receive from a reverse mortgage. And yes it’s true that you are not required to ever make a payment for as long as you live in the home.

I am very patient when I speak to clients and take my time explaining everything face to face with absolutely no pressure to move forward because I remember how much my parents appreciated it when the person that they worked with showed them the same respect.

I have never experienced the Sunday night blues of knowing that you are going back to work the next day as some people talk about. My job is a career that I never plan on retiring from because I genuinely enjoy working with my clients and seeing how their lives are benefitting from eliminating debt and by opening up a line of credit that can be used to help them for the rest of their lives. Every client’s story is a little bit different but they are all hoping to achieve a better life and I enjoy being a small part in that story.

Reverse Mortgages for Senior Citizens Contact John for a no pressure meeting.

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

A Reverse Mortgage can significantly increase your quality of life in retirement years by eliminating debt and providing funds to keep up with the cost of living.
