Montague has been active in residential, commercial and farm sales since 1974. In 1979, he was selected Salesman of the Year and in 1986 was selected REALTOR® of the Year by his peers in the Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS®.

He has served on numerous boards, been given coveted awards, and held sought-after leadership positions in distinguished real estate organizations. In 1991, he served as President of that group. Montague also has held a variety of leadership positions with the Virginia Association of REALTORS® including President in 1999. In 2001, he was honored as VAR’s REALTOR® of the Year. He has also served as a Trustee of the REALTOR® Political Action Committee of Virginia. Montague has served as a Director of the National Association of REALTORS® and as Chairman of
its REALTOR® Commercial Alliance Committee and its Federal Taxation Committee. He has also served on the REALTOR® Commercial Alliance Advisory Board, a group that includes members of senior leadership of most of the large national commercial real estate firms in the country. In 1980, Montague was the first REALTOR® in Central Virginia to earn the coveted designation of Certified Commercial Investment Member of the National Association of REALTORS® (CCIM). He is past president of both the Virginia CCIM Chapter and the Virginia Chapter of the Real Estate Securities and Syndication Institute. Montague’s involvement doesn’t end in the real estate world. As a native of Charlottesville, VA, he is a graduate of the Episcopal High School, the University of Virginia and served three years as an officer in the United States Marine Corps. Active in a number of local organizations, he has served as Treasurer and Director of the Charlottesville-Albemarle Chamber of Commerce.

What’s Happening Around Town? Building Goodness Foundation Hosts Fall Awareness Event Building Goodness Foundation (BGF) will host a public event on Thursday, October 23 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Mono Loco Restaurant in downtown Charlottesville. This event will serve to raise awareness and funds for BGF’s partnership with GOALS Haiti to build a new community center in Destra, Haiti. A portion of all drink sales at the happy hour event will be donated to support this project. Destra is a small fishing village that was decimated by the 2010 earthquake. It lacks a school, health clinic, or any other public buildings for the 800 families living there. Destra needs a well- built, multifunctional center open to the entire community for tutoring, teen programs, medicine, worship space, town hall meetings, and so much more. Working with a dedicated partner organization – GOALS Haiti – BGF will complete this project, provide building materials, and pay wages for local Haitian work crews to work with BGF’s skilled volunteers. Attendees at the October 23rd event will have the chance to learn more about the project, enjoy a specialty drink – The Penalty Kick (pineapple and lime juice, mint, and rum) – and 20 percent of all drink sales will be donated to BGF by Mono Loco. Additionally, attendees are encouraged to bring a soccer ball to the event to donate to GOALS Haiti. Donated soccer balls will provide entry into a raffle to win BGF bandanas, pint glasses, and other gear. Those without soccer balls may also enter the raffle for a small monetary donation to BGF.

CSC was founded in 2007 by 14 real estate attorneys who had been partners in a title agency that was committed solely to the sale and servicing of title insurance. As a result, they were of the opinion that closing real estate transactions should be handled exclusively by legal counsel. Therefore, they established CSC as a company that would provide quality closing services as well as access to title insurance at competitive rates. That concept propelled the company into unprecedented growth, despite a shrinking real estate market. By 2011, CSC’s growth was such that they expanded into additional markets, starting a wholly owned subsidiary, Shenandoah Settlement Services, with offices in Fishersville and Harrisonburg, Virginia. The following year was an even more explosive year of growth for CSC. By the end of the 2012 the company had more than 20 employees. In 2013 CSC continued its expansion, this time into Lynchburg and Wytheville under the

Monticola
ur region’s strong connection to a long and distinguished past is one of many reasons it is a popular and special place to live. There are many historic sites just in the city of Charlottesville, which was formed in 1762 by an Act of the Virginia General Assembly that set aside 50 acres of land for this purpose. Not much more than a rural village, the town was laid out in half acre lots on four east-west and five north-south streets and named in honor of Queen Charlotte Sophia of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the wife of King George the III of England. Today these original lots make up the heart of Charlottesville’s downtown. Many more ties to the past exist throughout our region, including an abundance of historic homes. Some of these are former residences that now enjoy life as commercial establishments and others continue to serve as homes for local families. If you like the idea of connecting to history through real estate you will find an active market in historic homes, as well as REALTOR®S® who specialize in assisting others to buy and sell these unique properties. A preliminary online search will uncover a range of home styles, locations and prices. Follow up with a call to your agent who can help you find an historic home that is just right for you.

What Makes a Home Historic While historic homes are a popular concept, there is no generally agreed upon definition. What characteristics must a home have to be considered historic rather than just old? One REALTOR® said he considers homes built before 1900 to be historic, in part because construction techniques changed significantly after that time giving these older homes special character. Murdoch Matheson with Frank Hardy, Inc. said that prior to 1900 there was also no sheet rock and the lath and plaster process used for walls and ceilings made for a much more substantial structure. “The construction quality was very different,” he said, explaining that each home was unique and big subdivisions and mass production were non-existent. “All of these properties are gems,” he continued. Certain features also can cause a home to be considered historic, explained Gayle Harvey, with Gayle Harvey Real Estate, Inc. Special events can distinguish

Windie Knowe
is one of the oldest homes in Albemarle county. This enchanting country property served as the Key family hunting lodge and was expanded over the years to become “Windie Knowe.” On over 30 lush, gently rolling acres, the historic house is approached by tree-lined driveway and sits amongst huge Hackberry trees that are over 250+ years old. The charming colonial farmhouse was renovated to modern living standards with a balance of formal and open, informal living spaces. The gourmet kitchen leads to the remarkable, vaulted, detached screened porch or a dramatic dining pavilion that features a stone fireplace overlooking the oval concrete pool and landscaped gardens. Well-proportioned rooms for entertaining with hardwood floors throughout, crown moldings, floor to ceiling windows and five fireplaces. The guest cottage offers the conveniences of a second living space ideal for a nanny or in-laws. A truly lovely setting with well-watered pastures fenced for horses with barn and storage. William W. Minor, one of the previous owners, operated a successful vineyard here in the nineteenth century.

Why are home buyers drawn to historic homes? Harvey described historic home buyers as people who cherish older properties and just want to be part of the larger effort of preserving our ties to the past. Matheson explained that buyers who want new homes tend to be more pragmatic than historic home buyers. They appreciate simplicity and things that work. People who buy historic homes have to have the patience to work with the functional obsolescence and deferred maintenance that are often part of these older properties. However, he added, “older homes have more soul,” and offer what he called a “texture and an aesthetic,” that is lacking in newer properties. Many people who purchase historic homes do so to renovate and restore them. These buyers “take great
pleasure in researching the home and getting it right,” Murdoch said. Sometimes this involves going to a place like the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society to research the home’s different owners, as well as the renovations done over its long history. One of many locally renovated homes is The Farm. The original building was actually the cook’s house or kitchen for a home built by Nicholas Lewis, grandson of Nicholas Meriwether. Lewis’ home no longer exists, but over the years there were many changes and upgrades to the once one story two-room kitchen house, including the addition of a second story. The property served a variety of different uses over the years including slave quarters, a summer kitchen, and a stable for horses. In 1993 architects Michael Bednar and Jo Lawson bought the property and restored it to residential use after it had stood empty for many years. A home built by Patrick Henry’s daughter in eastern Virginia in the 1800s underwent an interesting renovation. A buyer from California purchased the home and then about 10 years ago a local person took it apart, moved it to our area and reassembled it. Part of the appeal of older homes is their interesting or unique features. Sharon Duke, with William A. Cooke,

LLC, described a historic home she showed recently in Bumpass. It had floor to ceiling windows, which she explained are not uncommon. However in this case the windows opened by sliding to the side…not past each other on tracks like a patio door…but left and right over the walls on either side. The house was also distinguished by what Duke described as a massive central hallway and a large cupola. While historic features like these are interesting and add greatly to the home’s appeal, Duke suggests buyers also be aware of practical considerations. A big one is the septic system, which she says may need to be replaced if it hasn’t been updated.
Historic Home Buyers Historic homes are in demand in our area according to the REALTOR®S® who work that marketplace. Who are these buyers? Agents report having clients in all different professions who come from as far away as Saudi Arabia and from as close as D.C. and Charlottesville. One REALTOR® sold an historic home in this area to an American living in Europe who wanted it as a second home for use during those occasional times when he visits here. Often historic homes are purchased by entrepreneurial buyers who convert them to other uses such as a Bed and Breakfast or a winery.
A good example is the Butler-Norris House, better known today as The Inn at Court Square. Originally built by John Butler in 1785, it remained a residence until 1880. Since then it has been a law firm, a slate company, a church and a real estate office before becoming the Inn that it is today. The only remaining 18th century building in the Court Square area, the Butler-Norris home is known for its style of brickwork called Flemish bond, and its molded brick cornice. The interior features 18th century woodwork. Some B & Bs are more modest. Duke sold a historic home in Batesville where she grew up. The new buyers make just one bedroom available to travelers who want a modest, but historic place to stay while they are in the area. Another well known business in a historic home is Prospect Hill Plantation Inn Bed and Breakfast in Louisa County’s Green Springs National Historic Landmark, which Duke described as “an awesome old place.” Prospect Hill started as a log cabin in the late 1600s and eventually became a plantation on more than 400 acres. The property changed hands many times over the years until eventually it was fully renovated and restored by owners who purchased it in 1977. It is now on the National Register of Historic Places. Known for its great food and Southern hospitality, today it is owned by Dr. Bobby and Paula Findley who live there with their five children.
Preservation and Tax Credits Like Prospect Hill, many of our area’s historic homes are listed on The National Register of Historic Places, an official list of properties considered to be worthy of preservation and administered by the National Park Service. In l982, the entire Charlottesville Historic District, which includes 88 structures, was listed on this National Register.

time. Repayment is due only on the outstanding amount on the loan, not the total available, so the money can be used, paid back partially or in full, and then borrowed again when needed. Again, the interest may be tax deductible and often interest rates are lower than those for an outright loan. On the other hand, HELOC rates may climb rather than being locked in. Interest rates depend on the repayment option chosen by the borrower. HELOC closing costs are generally lower than closing costs on either a mortgage or an outright home equity loan. In addition, it’s not unusual for the borrower to be allowed to make full repayment at any time without penalty or to just pay the interest for a period of time.

HOME EQUITY LOANS
Can Be A Source Of Cash BY MARILYN PRIBUS
H
ome equity loans can provide beneficial cash resource for homeowners considering home improvements such as additions, remodeling, modifications for a disabled person, or major appliance replacements. Other big-ticket items might be education expenses, paying closing costs to refinance a mortgage, or consolidating existing high-interest-rate loans such as credit card debts. Paying off expensive debts with a home equity loan can translate into a single monthly payment, usually at a lower interest rate. In addition, the interest is often tax deductible. “Ask your tax professional if your home equity loan interest will be tax deductible,” recommends REALTOR ® Janet Matthews, owner of Charlottesville Town and Country. “While mortgage interest is almost always deductible, be sure that home-equity loan interest is. This question is particularly important for first-time home buyers, but should be asked by
icant variable whether you are working with a bank, credit union, or a mortgage broker,” explains Matthews. “When doing your comparison shopping, always deal with a reputable institution or company and ask about closing costs and points up front. Sometimes lenders will pay a portion of the closing costs.”
Equity loans every consumer in the lending marketplace, because such matters have a direct bearing on their financial well being.”
What is a home equity loan? A home’s equity, of course, is its market value less the balance of the mortgage and any other existing loans where the property is the collateral. Equity loans take two forms. One is an outright loan that provides a lump sum, generally at a fixed rate for a fixed term. The other is a Home Equity Line of Credit (usually abbreviated to HELOC and pronounced HE-lock) that provides money as needed and often has a variable interest rate that may change during the term of the loan because it is tied to the prime lending rate. Both loans have additional costs such as appraisals, origination and title fees, pre-payment fees, and closing costs. “Closing costs can be a signif-
With an outright loan, people can usually borrow up to 90 percent of the equity (not the market value) of an owner-occupied home and about 70 percent for non-owner-occupied property. A repayment schedule is established, so costs are regular and predictable.
HELOCs Line-of-credit loans are useful for providing ready credit for needs that don’t require a large one-time payment. Proceeds might be used for long-term renovation projects, college tuition payments, or any other large expense that can be paid off in a relatively short time. In this case, the borrower can choose when and how much to borrow. “The advantage of HELOCs,” notes Matthews, “is that they are flexible and you don’t have to reapply to access your funding.” A credit limit is established and borrowers can use any part of it at any
Home equity lending rates in our region depend on individual situations including the loan size, the borrower’s credit profile, and whether it’s a first or second lien.
Be prudent Homeowners taking out an equity loan must realize they are taking equity out of the home, decreasing its value. “Be particularly sure a home equity loan does not put you ‘upside down’ in your house meaning you owe more than the property is worth,” urges REALTOR® Matthews. “In the case of a recession, many people get caught under those circumstances so always be conservative in seeking any kind of financing because failure to repay a home equity loan could result in foreclosure.” Home equity loans make the most sense when the money is used to improve the home itself, thus increasing its value. On the other hand, such loans are seldom a good way to buy things that do not create lasting value such as a fancy vacation or a new car. Still, for people who handle their finances well, home equity loans can be a practical low-interest way to free up money for expenses. n Marilyn Pribus lives in Albemarle County near Charlottesville with her husband and their dog.

Circa 1732 Albemarle County Property Windie Knowe
is one of the oldest homes in Albemarle county. This enchanting country property served as the Key family hunting lodge and was expanded over the years to become “Windie Knowe.” On over 30 lush, gently rolling acres, the historic house is approached by tree-lined driveway and sits amongst huge Hackberry trees that are over 250+ years old. The charming colonial farmhouse was renovated to modern living standards with a balance of formal and open, informal living spaces. The gourmet kitchen leads to the remarkable, vaulted, detached screened porch or a dramatic dining pavilion that features a stone fireplace overlooking the oval concrete pool and landscaped gardens. Well-proportioned rooms for entertaining with hardwood floors throughout, crown moldings, floor to ceiling windows and five fireplaces. The guest cottage offers the conveniences of a second living space ideal for a nanny or in-laws. A truly lovely setting with well-watered pastures fenced for horses with barn and storage. William W. Minor, one of the previous owners, operated a successful vineyard here in the nineteenth century. Located just east of Charlottesville and minutes from UVA, Boar’s Head Inn and Farmington Country Club. MLS# 525337

SAVON CLEANING SERVICES, LLC SINCE 1967! OFFERING SOFT WASH SYSTEM Cleaning & Removing Mold and Mildew from roofs and homes
That Work for Your Home (StatePoint) Your home’s flooring matters. Not only can it affect property value, but it’s also a fundamental element of design and style. With so many choices available, it can be difficult choosing what’s right for your family and home. Here are some guidelines that can help you make smart decisions that meet your budget and lifestyle.
Choosing Tile “Tiling your home can be a great home improvement to easily add value,” says Keesha Hargis, a home décor specialist. Easy to maintain, tile flooring tends to be very resistant to moisture, fading and scratches. Tile allows you to create a variety of looks in your home from Tuscan to modern with the use of stone, such as slate, travertine, marble, concrete and linen. Natural stone floors are beautiful and elegant, but they are not always ideal for families. However, today’s engineered products are changing that. For example, PurSTONE, a pre-engineered tile flooring available through Flooring America, can be installed quickly with or without grout on any level of a home. Unlike natural stone that needs to be stained and maintained, this alternative can look better longer with minimal maintenance.
Choosing Carpet There is a vast selection of styles,
colors, and fibers to choose from in today’s marketplace, but a simple checklist can help. “The activity level of the home should be considered first,” says Hargis. “For example, a traditional, patterned wool carpet may not be the right choice for a busy family with toddlers and pets.” Nylon fibers will hold up well to foot traffic, but may not offer the stain resistance a well-used room may need. Carpets manufactured in today’s polyester and polypropylene fibers resist staining and can be found in vibrant colors and sharp multi-toned patterns, but may not last through years of heavy wear. Newer fibers, however, are allowing for softness and durability to co-exist. For example, the Innovia Touch Collection has built-in stain and soil protection. Backed by a 20-year warranty, it can offer the resilience a carpet in a well-used room needs. Some homeowners may want professional help in making their decisions. Think about consulting a qualified flooring specialist. Design tips, home improvement advice and information about innovations in flooring are available at www. FlooringAmerica.com. Flooring is a long-term investment, so consider factors like maintenance and usage before making a final decision. n
