FINE PORTFOLIO / NO ELEVEN
The Mushroom House TALK OF THE TOWN
On October 24th the long awaited “Mushroom House” came on the market for the first time since being redesigned in the 1970s. The current owners are ready to pass along this enchanting masterpiece. Today we can take you inside the listing and provide a little more detail about this one of a kind wonderland. We spoke with Donna Wartofsky, the listing agent with Long & Foster, about the excitement that surrounds her new listing. FINE: How might you briefly describe the special wonderment of the “Mushroom House” to prospective buyers and those who have never had the pleasue to see inside? Donna: I think the “Mushroom House” has a different meaning to everyone. It brings out the best in all of our imaginations. Many people see a Mushroom House; others are reminded of the home that Bilbo Baggins may have resided in. Personally it has always brought me back to the book by Jonathan Swift, Gulliver’s Travels. I have long fancied the home as a place where Lemuel Gulliver himself may have stumbled upon while at the land of Brobdingnag! FINE: What are the challenges in selling such a unique home? Donna: One of the major challenges is the amount of interest that this listing has generated and deciphering between the truly interested and the curious. Many people have waited years to see the interior of this imaginative home and now is their opportunity to take advantage of this opening. CONTACT DONNA WARTOFSKY FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS: 301-793-8400, ClearChoiceAgent@aol.com
FINE: Have you received a lot of interest already? Donna: Yes! I have received many calls. I have had very colorful and wonderful people express great interest. It is a matter of deciphering those that are interested and can envision themselves owning from those that are only curious. FINE: What type of buyer do you envision purchasing this home? Donna: I think the purchaser will be someone that is fun loving with a healthy imagination. Someone that will appreciate the creativity this home offers: perhaps an artist or an architect or both. Also the purchaser will be excited to take on the adventure with a sense of delight. FINE: Have you ever had a listing that has attracted this much attention and curiosity? Donna: Only in my dreams! FINE: What are some of the most impressive features of the house? Donna: There are many exquisite features in this home! The noteworthy features include but are not limited to over 3,600 square feet of interior, brobdingnagian 3 story structure in the main home, exposed beams, and skylights. There is a lilliputian reading cave in the wall that is fantastic for all ages. The house is covered with a polyurethane foam coating, which acts as a giant thermos and keeps the utility bills incredibly low. Lastly you are sitting on a fantastic location, within minutes to the heart of Chevy Chase and metro stations. You couldn’t ask for much more.

MARKET AN A LY SI S
5 Secrets
to selling your home’s message 1. Use a Headline Grabber Seth Godin said “Marketing is a contest for people’s attention.” You have to ask yourself what your prospects really value and then craft your pitch around the most relevant benefits or features that would excite a targeted buyer. With just two simple words Robert Allen launched one of the hottest selling real estate books. He called it Nothing Down. Tailor your headline to the burning desires of your target audience and you’ll launch your sales too. 2. Add Hot Buttons To quote another marketing genius, Edwin Land once said, “Marketing is what you do when your product is no good.” Each home you sell (and especially in the luxury market) has tons of features about it that make it a uniquely great product. Maybe it’s the lowest-priced property in the area, perhaps it offers a great tax shelter or it might just even be the friendliest or most walkable community to call home. It will change from property to property, but each property has a list of unique hot buttons that will excite potential buyers. 3. Establish Credibility When you cite numbers back them up with facts and references. It sounds basic but it’s often overlooked and a painfully disappointing way to lose a potential buyer’s attention. Coincidentally, I provide an assortment of market metrics here in FINE Portfolio each month to help you with this (insert winky face).

4. Evoke Emotional Appeal Will owning this home usher a feeling of prestige? Does the reception room offer a great space for family gettogethers or parties? Does the neighborhood offer a fun social environment? Will the kids be safe in this area? People are well, human – appeal to their emotions and you’ll win their hearts and their wallets. 5. Make it Easy for Prospects to Respond Imagine coming upon your dream listing. The headline grabbed you, the claims appear totally credible backed by great resources and the ad has evoked your emotion – you’re ready to call. But when you dial the phone number in the ad you get several rings and no answer. You think “OK, there must be a lot of people calling about this wonderful home, I’ll try again.” You try again, and again and again. What is going on? You finally get a call back a few days later and schedule a tour for a week later and in the meantime hear absolutely nothing from the Realtor until he/she shows up 15 minutes late on the date on the viewing. Prepare for phone calls! And in this day and age of never-ending technological options, open yourself up to multiple channels of contact: email, texting, landline, mobile, Facebook, website contact forms, etc. But most importantly, be available and responsive because the perfect marketing message can prove useless if nobody answers the phone!

MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA UP RELATIVE TO NATIONAL AVERAGE ON ENERGY STAR HOME CERTIFICATION MARKET SHARE
STEVE CAMPOT of SGC Real Estate
What is an Energy Star new home? It is a home that has been built to stringent energy efficiency standards in accordance with the Energy Star guidelines as outlined by the Environmental Protection Agency. It is then certified, verified and tested by an independent inspector who issues a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) score. What are some advantages of an Energy Star certified home for the home buyer? The advantages are in the form of much lower energy costs, overall better quality and a more durable home — these lead to the ultimate advantage in peace of mind for the homeowner, knowing they’ve made an investment that will continue to deliver a return over time.
ENERGY STAR
EXPLANATION/ADVANTAGES
Have you sold any Energy Star Certified homes and experienced these results? I sold an Energy Star/Indoor Air Certified home built by R.J. Miller Custom Homes last summer. The home was in the Vienna market in August of 2013 and it was almost 6000 square feet. The electric bill with the AC set at 75 degrees was $127 for that month. It was sold and settled in that fall and the new owners report that they love the home, especially satisfied with having no issues regarding the “Polar Vortexes” of last winter. What is a HERS Score? This score is the home buyers’ best guide to a new home’s energy efficiency. A typical 20 year old home will have a score of 150 plus.
Q+A
A typical new home will have a score of around 100. However, that new home in Vienna I just referenced above had a score of 49. A home needing no energy would have a score of zero. Anything Else We Should Know? One important consideration is the indoor air quality. Even if a home is built to these strict standards, it still runs the risk of poor indoor air. It is important not only to purchase an Energy Star home, but also make sure it is Indoor Air Quality Certified as well. This certification assures good quality indoor air, which is free of mold and harmful bacteria.
