LYNCHBURG VA
FEATURING: VINTAGE 50s - 60s - 70s FURNITURE & ACCESSORIES
VINTAGE ALPHA CHAMBER CHAIR by Lee West
(I have verified this chair as best I can - there are no tags or markings that we can find)
"The unconventional shape and construction of the modPod Egg Chair make it perfect for sound isolation, and a comfortable area to sit and read. Its chamber-like shape and upholstered interior cancels out most outside noise, providing a unique environment for meditation, relaxation and just getting away from it all. Not only is it perfect for home use, but this dynamic has also made the Alpha Egg Chair a desirable tool in the field of psychology."
We have been collecting Mid-Century Modern Furniture for over 20 years and in all of that time we have never been able to find a "Vintage Egg Chair" in this condition - heck - even the speakers work! My son, Brett, is absolutely in love with this chair! Brett's friend and business associate, Jon Wormuth (GALAXIE MODERN) found The Chair & Ottoman. Right now The Egg Chair is proudly occupying window space at GROOVY FURNITURE!
Groovy Furniture is located on Main Street in Lynchburg, VA (the old James T. Davis Building) next to THE LYNCHBURG CITY MARKET.
If you are in the Lynchburg, VA area "GROOVE" on into Groovy Furniture and see the Cool Furniture and accessories that are for sale at GROOVY & GALAXIE MODERN !! Brett, Tom, John & Mandy will love to see you and the LOVE to TALK Mid-Century Modern!!!

HOME BUYER GUIDE - STEP 2
STEP TWO: "THE AGENT"
What is a Realtor®? Do I really need one?
Why can't I just call the agent whose name is on the sign?
•· A Realtor® represents the interest of either the Seller or the Buyer. This means that the Agent is striving for the best deal for the person they represent.
•· Yes, you do need a Realtor®. The process of buying property is a maze of legal paper work and it is the Agent's job to guide you through this maze and to make sure it is your interests that are protected.
•· You can call that Agent whose name is on that sign, BUT, that Agent is representing the Seller not you the buyer.
YOU can hire a BUYER Agent:
•· You do not pay this agent. The seller pays the Realtor® compensation when a house is sold.
•· If you want to hire me as your Buyer's Agent, I will require you to sign a Virginia Association of Realtors® Exclusive Right To Represent Buyer Agreement
•· The BUYER Agent works for YOU - this agent owes you LOYALTY, OBIDIENCE, CONFIDENTIALITY, FIDUCIARY RESPIONSIBILITY, and ADVICE.
As your Buyer Agent - What would I do:
•· I interview you & find out what type of house you like, where you want to live, do you want a "fixer-upper", etc.
•· I look at the current listings in your price range, review your "wish list" and then we look at houses.
•· I guide you through the looking process, the weeding out process, making the offer, the negotiation & the closing.
As a REALTOR - I am working for my client's best interest - my job is to get my clients into the best house at the best price possible. And along the way I am trying to educate you so that you make the best purchase for your future. I do not take this responsibility lightly.
I want you to be happy - Realtors are successful because of REPEAT BUSINESS - this is your first house! I want your repeat business and I want you to refer your friends and family to me to work with in buying homes.
FOR THE WORK I DO, I ASK ONLY ONE THING OF YOU AND THAT IS YOUR LOYALTY!!
If you attend an Open House tell the hosting agent that you are working with me.

HOME BUYERS GUIDE - STEP 1
So you've made the BIG decision - you are ready to buy a house! Now What?!? I want to help you unravel the Mysteries of this process and help you avoid the Hassles!
SO LET'S GO - LET'S TALK ABOUT BUYING A HOUSE!
STEP ONE: "THE LOAN"
One of the worst things I, as a REALTOR, could do, would be to show you a house that you could not yet afford.
YOU HAVE TO BE PRE-APPROVED FOR A MORTGAGE LOAN:
Most REALTORS do not show property to Buyers unless the Buyer has been Pre-Approved for a Mortgage Loan - I do not show houses to a Buyer unless I have a Pre-Approval Letter from a Lender.
You contact a Mortgage Lender (get recommendations from your REALTOR, Friends, Family etc). This Mortgage Lender can usually get all of the information they need from you by phone or by email.
They will Pre-Approve you based on:
These reviews and this information will allow the Mortgage Lender to recommend the best Mortgage Loan Program for you. Examples of Loan Programs: Conventional, FHA, VHDA (VA only), USDA, VA etc and blends of several loan programs.
Also your Mortgage Lender will give you a CASH TO CLOSE FORM, this is a preliminary GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE and will show you fees, closing costs, and will show you your ESTIMATED monthly payment including Home Owners Ins & Real Estate Taxes.
CLEAN UP ISSUES showing on your CREDIT REPORT - your Mortgage Lender can help you with this - DO IT IMMEDIATELY.
YOUR BOTTOM LINE
Your Lender will qualify you for a loan and they will give you a top amount for the LOAN AMOUNT and the amount of your MONTHLY PAYMENT.
It is your decision what you want to pay monthly, your monthly house payment includes: PRINCPLE, INTEREST, HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE & REAL ESTATE TAXES. Establishing the monthly house payment you are comfortable in making, then allows the Lender to establish the total AMOUNT of your LOAN & that gives you the PRICE RANGE for your HOUSE SEARCH.
You and the lender work to establish the amount of the loan you are comfortable with versus the amount of the loan you can get, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!
Just a note - talking to your friends about their home buying experiences & house payments is normal and can be good for getting basic information. However a word of WARNING- every home sale transaction is different, every buyer is different and therefore their situations are different resulting in different interest rates, different insurance rates, different loan options etc - so while this might be helpful for info gathering - it is not good for making your decisions. You need to talk directly to your REALTOR, Mortgage Lender & Insurance Agent to get the bottom line facts as they apply to you and you alone. You need FACTS not OPINIONS. Right now it is taking about 30 - 45 days to close on a house. The $8000 tax credit money is taking about 2 months to receive

I have lived in the Brookville/Timberlake Community of Campbell County for most of my life and I graduated from Brookville High School and Central VA Community College. I have been married to Tom Carson for 32 years and we have lived on Timber Lake for over 20 years. My husband and son, Brett own and operate Central VA Office Furniture and Groovy Furniture.

I am a ACCREDITED BUYERS REPRESENTATIVE and a GRADUATE OF REALTORS INSTITUTE. I have completed the courses of study and graduated these programs & earned the right to use these designations. These courses are specialized programs that allow a REALTOR to gain knowledge far beyond the requirements to pass the test to obtain a Real Estate Liscense. I specialize in Single Family Residential Properties in the Central Virginia Area. I love working with FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS - I place a very high value on educating the buyer. I offer my buyers a First Time Home Buyer's Guide and help them to understand that while they are buying a their first home they have to make sure the decision is also based on a good business decision - This is their investment for their future. I am very proud to say that I do not have any buyers in Foreclosure and this includes many First Time Home Buyers. Move-Up buyers are also one of my specialized areas and a challenging one. This Seller/Buyer is balancing the Sell of their current house with the pressure to Buy a new house and all the time dealing with the crunch of the morgage numbers and the timing for their Sale & Purchase. Throw in 2 work schedules, the kids, the animals, keeping a house clean and you have the makings for a Stress Meltdown!!! That's where a good REALTOR "earns their keep" so to speak - it is my job to play the devil's advocate and to anticipate the issues before they become issues. I LOVE MY JOB!!!!!!
