GBI Board aad Realtors Discuss Methods to Boost Home Sales Flautist V. NanzettU To Perform Sunday by Hopi Auori>Kb

Greenbelt Homes lncorpo. rated (GHI) General Manager Gretchen Overdurff invited sev­eral realtors who handle GHI homes to attend the December 18, 1997. Board meeting and offer ideas to' better promote lhe sale of GHI homes.

GHI President, Keilh·lahoda, asked realtors Kim Kash of ERA Five Star Properties, Jeannie Smith and Leonard Wallace, both ·or Really I, Shelly Wesl of Really Execu­tives and Tim Uber or long & Foster to introduce lhemselves. Jahoda then opened the discus­sion with the observation that GHl has always taken pride in billing itself a.s an "owner-occu~ pied .. community.

Ubcr asserted lhal some kind of armngement thai allows poten­tial buyers lo move into a home on a Jcmpnrary lease ba.<iis, until they arc at the "pun:hasc thresh· old," enahles sellers lo fill empty huuScs sooner. Reallors agreed that such an arrangement would help till vacandes fa.,ter. Deitch replied that, "There is no way we'll ever again have anyone move in before seulement," he­cause uf an incident in which the lc!osor defaulted on the agreerrn:nt w huy. Deitch added thai houses arc also often damaged hy lcn­anl)o.

Jahoda asked Wallace if, 1n hi' experience, rent-with-optinn­to-huy arrangements tend to he suc.:ccssful. Under rent/option, a tenant moves into a property tor a specified period of time. pay\ a dcpo!iiit and rent to the owner. and if, at the end of the rcnta!' period, wants to huy the house, is able to do so. If not, the renter moves out.

Under lease/purchase~ an­ocher arrangement, a potential home huycr not yet able tn huy

gets approval from a bank for financing the house at a speci­fied time in the future, contin­gent upon meeting financial· goals set forth by the lender. Jn the meantime, the future buyer moves into the house on a temporary lease basis until the time of purchase. Since a contract is signed. the lessor would be guilty of hrcach of contract if he or she fails to purchase the house at the lime agreed upon. Most realtors ad­vise the ~cllers to require a large deposit from the lessor, which is forfciled in case of a default.

' Kash added that if clients arc able to move in before the purchase is final, they will sec how desirable GHI is and be more delermincd to buy here.

When Deitch asked about guarantees that a lease/pur­chaser will eventually go to "'ettlemcnt, Ubcr com.:cded that there isn't one. Deitch then re· spondcd, "(f we require them I<)

settle before they move in, the we know they will settl '

Board member Chu k Hess reported that 76 GHI home!o -or 5~. - are currently on the market (one of them since 1992). While admiuing 1ha1 defrrred settlement is "riskier,'' he said it is importani to fill the va1.·ancies "to protect our sense of community mure than our architecture."

Wallace said that vacant homes do nut present a prohlcn1 In the comm\JRity in Greenhell· certainly to the owner who is trying lo sell, hul nol IQ GHI.

Jahoda then asked how t() addre55 the perception that f \ expensive to live in GHI. wlcn a1.·tually the co-op fcc cover!-. taxe!-. and "i.·tmdo Icc" 10 one check. There were no !rlugge:-.­tion:-. from the realcur~ prc)ocnt,

hut subsequent interviews rc· vealcd that at least two of them actually lhink the i.'O-op fee is too high.

Smith defended GHI Con­tract. Processor Kathy Linkenhoker from the accusa­tion thai the membership pro­cess takes too long. "Kathy closes as fast a\ I can sell them," he said.

One suggestion in a letter from George Cantwell of American Realty, Inc. elicited agreement fr.om some of the realtors present Most concui'Ted that the administrative fee of $785 that sellers musl pay to GHI is an obstacle. Smilh said the fee GHI charges •lUI-going members makes them angry. Some home-sellcn have charac­terized it as a "h.IKlP'' they have to jump through in order to "get out." She felt it would he to GHI's. advantage In "try not to gel people so angry at GHI when they leave," and it wnuld help 1f there were at lca.\t an explano.~tion available to scl1er)o dctailm~ what the fcc is for.

Overdurff rc!~ponded that the S7K5 doesn't e\'l'n cm'cr the cust of admini)o\r;ltlvc time spent t>n ~ales. She !laid GHI mu~t inspect the hnmc fm "markel rcadincs)o ... whil·h alone typ1cally l'Usls S~7S. then get the member Lo a~.:tu.tlly ~.arry

Kash s31d GHI infipcction should be more critical. She told of an inspection report that said some wallpaper should be "patched," when then: was no way lhat could look good, and lhat a,.JX>rtion of a metal fence

SCHOOL (Coalillaed from -•1)

A·lfrcd Lindseth, representing the counly. in hi!-~ clo~ing state· men I ind1..:ated that the tesll- · mony at. thu tnal provided the. strongest case for unitary sta­tus." (Unitary statu'i tndacate!l that the court relinqu•she~ con­trol of the schools.) Control !'thould be . returned to the elected school board and the county; there is not justifiable 'upport for continued supcrvi~ ~lOR.

Lindseth Slated lhal hall" of the trial wa~ taken up wit~ quality of education issue~. an achievement gap between hlolck and white siUdents. He stated that the gap is a concern hut · that it ex1~1s tn every school di!.lflct tn the State. Messine inJeCted a question askmg who has the bun~en of proof. regard· ing the ..:au~c of this gap. Landseth countered that the platnllff has the bUrden to pro"'e that gap!'. are cau~cd by 'H!~I•ges uf se~re~ation. In an expert panel report 11 wa!'!> noted th~.l thc'ie gaps arc present even hcfore children· !'!I art '>Chuol. The panel did n1•t as~tgn a cause tn the ~ap

segre@alion i~ not in the fore· front' of actirities in the ~ehool system. School superintendent Jerome Clark had state4 th•t "what getS measured,. gch t3ught." Bhnnan sus1ested that af desegregation activltie., were being _measured. ihey would be succeeding better. The county has proposed SiiC!<! for several new schools. but

. Brannan noted thai lhc're is evi­dence lh~t many of the new schools will be in areis where deseeregation is unlikely. Again it appcan that desegre­gation was not taken 1nto ac­count with the plannin1 of new schools. The NAACP is inlcr­ested in ha'ffinl black children moved to schooh in their neighborhoods when they arc alrehdy 1n racially-isolated schools, but not necessarily when they are in currCndy-intc­gratcd schools.

Another iuue is with fac­ulry. Brannan argued that the racaal miJf. of the teachers has more hl<n:k teacher~ in black s..:hools.. She referred to a Wll· ncs!l who 'iaid that there are !'lomctimcs posi11vc vibes M­twecn a pnncipal and a new tea..:her This may lead to hlads. hirmg more hlacks and encuuragmg white parents (tl seck other school,_ This ha~ to

policy in the!'lc areas. Brannan took exception with

Lind!teth's contention that qual­Ity of educat1on IS outside of the scope or the desegregation assuc. She states that hlack. stu~ dents hccame ent1tkd w eJf.cel­lent educati<Jn hy settling in 191'15 for the addition of Mill1kin II and Maanel s.:hools. hoth intended to improve the quality of cdUI.:atinn. However, the cffectivcneslo or these spe· c1al programs has not been tc~ted to date. Brannan asked .r Pnnce George's county was really walling to au:ept a lower standard uf cdu~ation for poor and African-American students. Countering the county's conten­tion that lower cduc3tion achievement i!o a factor of pov­erty a'nd not race, she argued that the new :ichuuls will iso­late students hy huth race and poverty

Brannan then ~ontmued with what the NAACP feels the coun can do now. 1. Issue an order that there will he no rul· · 1og unlll the court IS pnwided wllh a detailed plan mcludmg fundtng. 2.

chanses could possihly happen but that school construction cannot, and a decrease in bus­ing could not begin in 1998. During the retlullal. Nusshaum commented that there is no evidence that white parents arc fleeing black schools. Day

- care is the major issue. ln re­sponse to the issue of siting of new schools, he indicated that the schools were to be located close to the neighborhoods as requested.

In the final rehuttal. Liridseth countered the 1ssue of race and poverty by stating find1ngs that ~how that when poveny is accounted for, black students perform as well as white students, thus making educatiOnal quality a non~race 1ssue. If deficiencies cannot be linked to a vestige of segrega­tion, then the court should leav!= remedies to the school system. The county once had 100.000 w~itc students. now there are only 20,000 with 1.500 l~aving the system each year. School distri~.:t:-. arc not supposed to he under court or­der in a democracy.

Also, Messitte indi­cated that he will "clearly"" de­cide the issue by June I. He wants the decision then and some changes· to be imple­mented for the 1998199 school year. 'f.hen he complimented the counsels on the quality or the cases and the'ir deportment.
