Vienna, VA 22180 Easy Living Homes If you have family members or friends with physical limitations, you may have areas of your home that they’re unable to visit. This is especially problematic if you yourself become disabled or have a disabled person move in with you. How do you accommodate these needs? By building an EasyLiving Home, of course. According to the EasyLiving Home web site, the EasyLiving Home program is “the nation's first voluntary certification program that specifies criteria in everyday construction to add convenience in your new home and to welcome all friends, family and visitors regardless of age, size or physical ability.” The EasyLiving Home program was developed by a coalition of public and private organizations to encourage the voluntary inclusion of key features that make a home cost effective, accessible and convenient for everyone without sacrificing style or adding substantial construction costs. EasyLiving Home certification enhances both the initial and resale value of a home, and can be achieved for practically any home regardless of price, building site or architecture. EasyLiving Home features: l Step-free entrances provide easy access and are never more than 1/2" from a driveway, sidewalk or other firm route into the central living area. l Exterior doors provide and interior passages provide easy passage because all doors and hallways on the main level (including bathrooms) offer ample clear passage space. l Easy use with no less than one bedroom, a kitchen, some entertainment area, and at least one full bathroom with sufficient maneuvering space all on the main floor. The EasyLiving Home program certifies that homes meet the program requirements through a non-profit coalition of organizations committed to making homes more accessible, including AARP and several access advocacy groups. While EasyLiving Homes offer a substantial number of special features, virtually any home buyer can afford one because these certified homes are available at all price levels from the most modest starter home to country club estates. The EasyLiving Home program shows builders how to make their homes more convenient by making small improvements that add little or nothing to the cost of new construction, but would be very costly to retrofit later. EasyLiving Homes are all about convenience. By grouping all the most essential living areas on a single floor with ample-sized doors and a step-free entry, the EasyLiving Home allows easy access for bulky furniture and getting around whether you’re on foot or in a wheelchair. “While you may be in perfect health now,” the web site states, “the day may come when you or a family member experience health problems that could cause limited access to be a real problem. Elderly relatives will appreciate the easy access and extra entry width when they visit you in your new EasyLiving Home. And in an aging society, an EasyLiving Home will have a higher resale value when it's time to sell.” USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS REALTORS® are real estate licensees who, as members of the National Association of REALTORS® as well as the state and local Associations of REALTORS®, have pledged to the public and to each other that they will adhere to a strict code of ethics and high standards of professionalism, integrity and competence. REALTORS® are providing you with this information in order to assist you in making informed decisions when purchasing, selling or optioning real estate. SERVICES Regardless of whom they represent, REALTORS® can provide a variety of information and assistance to all parties in a real estate transaction. For example, REALTORS® can assist customers by performing ministerial acts such as supplying information about available properties and sources of financing, describing and showing properties, assisting in preparing and submitting purchase offers or counteroffers, or providing information about settlement procedures. REALTORS® acting as standard agents are required by Virginia law and by their Code of Ethics to treat all parties honestly and not knowingly give them false information, promptly present all written offers and counteroffers, disclose any adverse material facts actually known to them concerning the physical condition of a property, and offer properties without regard to race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, elderliness, sexual orientation, national origin, or gender identity as well as any other classes protected by Virginia and applicable local jurisdiction. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS Virginia law requires that in order to be enforceable, all contracts for real property must be in writing. There is a recommended contract form that can be shown to you and that may be modified in any way to accommodate the needs of the parties. You have the opportunity to consult legal counsel concerning the contract as well as any other questions you may have about the various laws concerning real estate transfers that are referenced in the suggested contract form. FINANCING Mortgage rates and associated charges vary with financial institutions and the marketplace. Purchasers have the opportunity to select the lender and to negotiate terms and conditions of the loan. Such terms may be subject to seller’s approval and lender’s requirements. Borrowers also will be required to obtain a lender’s title insurance policy. Purchasers may wish to obtain owner’s title insurance coverage and may consult an attorney concerning this choice. INSURANCE The lender may require purchasers to buy a hazard insurance policy from the insurance company of their choice, subject to the lender’s approval. Purchaser should be aware that many factors affect the availability and cost of hazard insurance on the premises. Depending on the insurance company, these factors may include past insurance claims filed on the premises, past insurance claims filed by purchaser, and purchaser’s credit history. In addition, flood insurance may be required on the property. Purchaser should contact an insurance agent at the earliest opportunity to arrange for hazard insurance and, if necessary, flood insurance on the property
