Seneca collects toys for children in need

By NICK COHEN
The Sun
Santa Claus has some help this
holiday season, courtesy of the
Seneca High School student council.
The schools annual toy drive
concluded last week with hundreds of toys being loaded into
vans, buses and trucks that will
then be distributed to children in
need for the holidays.
Erica Maira, who works in the
schools guidance office, has been
the advisor for student council
the last four years. The toy drive
is a favorite of hers and many of
the kids in student council.
The amount of toys varies
year to year with families moving
into the area or moving away, but
its always great to do as much as
we can, Maira said.
Student council president Russell Bauer and members Peter
Moody and Rebecca Dean were
just a few of the Seneca students
helping pack the toys that were
collected in November and earlier
this month.
Students from surrounding
schools in the district collect toys
and bring them into donate. Indian Mills Memorial School in Shamong, Cranberry Pines in Medford and Olson Middle School all
participated in this years drive.
please see STUDENT, page 12

NICK COHEN/The Sun

Peter Moody and Rebecca Dean of the Seneca Student Council pack toys for families in need as part of the organizations annual toy drive.
Toys filled tables throughout the Seneca cafeteria on Dec. 4 as organizations from across Burlington and Camden counties came to pick up
toys that will then go to kids in need. For another photo, see page 15.

in our opinion

A lose-lose for our young adults

Some troubling statistics about our states youth were released last week
ew Jerseys youth and young
adults outpace their counterparts in the country in a lot of
key measurables. They graduate high
school at high rates; more of them
earn at least a bachelors degree; and
they make more money, on average.
But New Jerseys young adults also
outpace the rest of the country in
their demographic in two odd categories more of them stay single, having never married, and more live at
home with their parents.
Two reports released last week
painted this confusing, and somewhat
troubling, picture of our states youth.
First, the Department of Education
released data that the states high
school graduation rate rose to 88.6 percent in 2014, up from 87.5 percent in
2013 and 86.5 percent in 2012. Thats
great news.
Then, the U.S. Census Bureau released data on each states 18- to 34year-old demographic. Almost 30 per-

Jersey can improve the job and living
outlook for young adults? Share your
thoughts on this, and other topics,
through a letter to the editor.

cent of New Jerseys young adults

hold a bachelors degree, compared to
22 percent for the rest of the country,
and up from 19 percent in 1980. They
have a median income around $41,000
(compared to around $34,000 nationally). But 71.1 percent of this demographic has never been married (65.9
percent nationally) and 40.5 percent
(30.3 percent nationally) still live with
their parents. Furthermore, while the
median income is higher than the rest
of the country, when adjusted for inflation, its actually $4,000 less than it
was in 1990.
All of this data can be attributed, in
large part, to the Great Recession and

the states high cost of living. Our

countrys economy changed dramatically a few years ago, and while its
better now, it still isnt back to full
power.
So what can we do about this? It
might seem like were playing a broken record, but New Jerseys government needs to find ways to make it easier, and more affordable, for our young
adults to live and work in our state.
Its tough to get a job in New Jersey,
even though there is plenty of business here, and its even tougher to find
affordable living. The cost of renting
is high, and while it is a good time to
buy a home, its a tough thing for a single, young adult to do.
If we dont find a way to change the
outlook for our youth, well soon find
that they will look elsewhere for better, and more affordable, opportunities. And losing residents, especially
from that demographic, would not be
good.

Spare change adds up for charity

Junior State of America local chapter sends water buffalo to needy family in Romania
By ZANE CLARK
The Sun
Have you ever sent a water buffalo to Romania using spare change?
For one local group of civic-minded high
school students, the answer to that seemingly random question is, yes, it has.
The Junior State of America is a national, non-profit organization that promotes

state and civic activities for high school

students with interests such as politics,
government, foreign affairs, law and education.
In addition to student debates, thought
talks, problem solving and simulations,
part of the organizations mission is for
students to participate in activism.
Thats where the water buffalo comes in.
Medford resident Andy Laberee, 15, is

the director of fundraising and activism

for the JSAs local Renaissance Council
Chapter, which is comprised mostly of 20
or so homeschooled students from the
Burlington County area.
Laberee said he first presented the RCC
with the idea of sending a water buffalo to
Romania after having learned about Heifer

Catto Community School in Camden.
This is Wenstroms 17th year
partnering with the districts toy
drive.
The drive started at Shawnee
High School when my children
were students there. Since then,
its moved to Seneca and theyve
done a great job with it, Wenstrom said. Well distribute
these toys to 442 preschoolers this
year.
For Maira and the rest of the
student council, reading the letters from those receiving the toys
makes all the hard work worth it.
Reading the letters and hearing how happy the kids are, how
excited they are just warms your
heart so much, Maira said. To
know we have a hand in that is a
great feeling for all of us.

animals can be used for farming

purposes for years to come.
The idea is that its much
more sustainable than a package
of food because this will continue
to give back for one or two generations, so its a much more longlasting gift, Laberee said.
Once Laberee laid out his idea
and the group agreed to raising
the money, Laberee said the
group added the extra challenge
of seeing how much it could raise
simply by collecting its spare
change.
As it turns out, 20 or so high
school students pooling their
spare change over a few weeks
will total about $245, most of the
$250 needed to donate for the
water buffalo.
Tabernacle resident Becky
Shults, 16, president of the RCC,
said Laberees idea just took off
with the group and everyone got
to work.
You buy something, you get
the change, you put it in a jar and

collect it, Shults said. We did

that for a few weeks and cashed it
in and had enough for a water
buffalo.
Shults said she believes the
idea proved popular with the
group because it was something
different for an activism activity
and something it had never heard
of any other chapter attempting.
This wasnt a parents idea.
This wasnt organized by some
big company. This was just high
school students buying a water
buffalo for a village in Romania,
and we wanted to do to it, Shults
said. Even though were seniors
and juniors and sophomores
even, we can still do something to
make a difference for not only our
country but other countries that
are in need.
Laberee said the RCC will eventually receive confirmation that
the water buffalo has arrived,
along with the satisfaction of
knowing it made a difference. He
said activities and projects such

as this one are what make the

group an attractive possibility for
any young person interested in
civics and the world around them.
It helps you form your own
opinions about things and helps
you build confidence with public
speaking and general confidence
with things, and theres just thousands of great opportunities with
fundraising, Laberee said. Its a
great resource for young people to
learn.
Shults echoed Laberees sentiments, and said any high schoolaged student with the slightest interest in anything surrounding
politics, government and public
speaking would definitely benefit
from joining the JSA.
We welcome people from all
over the South Jersey area of any
education background, and we
would be more than happy to get
them involved, Shults said.
Those interested in joining the
group can contact Shults at

Meeting with a mortgage broker

By KRISTEN DOWD
The Sun
The first step to buying a
home is finding out how much
you can afford.
This is where a mortgage
broker comes into play.
The mortgage consultation
is very important, Alyce
Klaus, broker/sales representative with Weichert Realtors
Moorestown, said. Its educational, so the consumer doesnt
go out based on just asking
price.
Robert Salotto, president of
First Financial Lending in
Cherry Hill, has been in the
mortgage business for 14 years.
He said finding a good mortgage broker is the first step in
home buying.
Go to (a broker) you know
someone had a good experience
with, he said. Theyre fair,
theyre honest theyre going
to make money, as anyone
should but youre going to get
a fair, honest deal.
A mortgage broker is there
from the beginning to the end
of the home-buying process,
first providing a pre-approval
for a homebuyer and, once a
house is found, contacting the
lender for loan approval, setting a closing date and assisting
during the closing.
Everythings got to match
with the paper trail, Salotto
said. Banks are trying to do
fair business.
The initial pre-approval will
determine a consumers qualifications for loan programs and
rates.
Of course, its not just a matter of what a person can afford
its also about what theyre
comfortable spending. Buying
a home just within your budget
is a personal risk.

Just like anything else in

life, its a personal thing, Dave
Lewis, broker/owner of B.T.
Edgar and Son Realtors in
Moorestown, said. Do you
want to give up other things in
life?
According to Anne E. Koons,
sales associate with Berkshire
Hathaway HomeServices Fox &
Roach, Realtors, in Cherry Hill,
buying a house you are just
working to pay for doesnt
make sense.
If all youre doing is working to pay for the house and you
have no other disposable income to do anything else with,
its going to get to the point that
you resent the house, she said.
Should you buy as much as
you can? Yes, but within reason.
When it comes to buying a
home, Salotto advises breaking
everything down to find out if
you can really afford the house
and the lifestyle you want to
live.
People say, I want to spend
$200,000. I want to spent
$250,000. What does that really
equate to? Salotto asked. You
have to break that down further to your monthly payment.
Salotto provides his clients
with a money worksheet,
which breaks down housing expenses, from insurance to takeout dinners.
Property insurance, homeowners insurance, home repairs, cable bill, water bill,
lawn care system, monthly car
payments, health insurance,
life insurance, food, veterinarian bills, donations, Salotto listed. Its all in addition to the
house.
Salotto also advises factoring
please see FIRST, page 19

WHEN YOU GO
A mortgage broker will let
you know what documents are
needed to fill out a loan application, and each person may
not need the exact same paperwork, but keep in mind that the
following are typical:

W-2 statements (two years)

Financial statements (two
months)
Pay stubs (two most recent)
Photo ID
Marriage certificate or divorce
decree

Buying a home: What to expect

From starting the search to signing the papers, Realtors discuss specifics
By KRISTEN DOWD
The Sun
Buying a home is not only the
single greatest transaction of
your lifetime it could be the
most emotional transaction, Angela Barnshaw, CEO of Haddonfield real estate agency Agent06,
said. We dont sell houses. We
help to match a person to a house.
We connect you to that house.
There are a lot of factors that
come into play when buying a
home. How much can you afford?
How much do you want to pay?
And how do you find the house
thats right for you?
But before delving into how to
find the house, potential homebuyers need to know how much
they can spend. Across the board,
area real estate professionals
agree that the first step of the
home-buying process is to talk to
a mortgage broker.
You really need to do that.
Theres no sense in me taking you
out and showing you $400,000
homes when you max out at
$350,000. Im wasting your time
and my time, Anne E. Koons,
sales associate with Berkshire
Hathaway HomeServices Fox &
Roach, Realtors, in Cherry Hill,
said. Thats very important to do
before you even go out to start
looking at houses.
Once a prospective homebuyer
is pre-approved for a mortgage,
finding a real estate professional
is the next sensible step.

The real estate

professionals role
From the very beginning to
the very end, we are vigilant
about making sure the customer
knows that we are there as their
guide and protector, Barnshaw
said, not as someone trying to
squeeze a commission check out
of them.
Guiding a homebuyer is key;
real estate professionals are there
from the search for a new home to
the final contracts and everything
in between.
You need a real estate advisor.
We wouldnt perform surgery on

ourselves,
Alyce
Klaus,
broker/sales representative with
Weichert Realtors Moorestown,
said with a smile. This is such an
important economic investment,
and to obtain the counsel of a real
estate agent who is going to represent your best judiciary interest,
its a no brainer.
A homebuyer can also rely on
the knowledge of a Realtor. A Realtor will know if a home is located near high-tension wires or
falls within a strong school district. If a neighborhood is having
issues flooding or mold, for instance the Realtor will most
likely know that, too.
I consider myself an expert in
my field. I know a lot, Koons
said. Im sure theres a lot that I
dont know, but after almost 30
years of being in the business,
Ive been through a lot of different scenarios.
Barnshaw said its important
for the Realtor to focus on how he
or she is promoting and presenting the home.
The presentation in person
has to meet or exceed the promotion, she said.
Just as important is understanding the market data.
Not (market data) for all of
the county or even
all of that town,
but that unique
hyper-local niche
where that house
is located,
Barnshaw
said. And
a skilled Realtor is going
to know how to negotiate,
whether
theyre representing the buyer or
representing the
seller.

Negotiating
When youre
talking about negotiating, I wish
there was a more
scientific
response in pricing, Klaus said,
but when you

get down to it, its what the seller

will take, the buyer will pay and
the bank will appraise.
According to Dave Lewis, broker/owner of B.T. Edgar and Son
Realtors in Moorestown, Realtors
are there to help a buyer through
the negotiation process. Buyers
dont go in blind; Realtors will
share comparable properties to
place a value on the prospective
home.
Then well sit down and come
up with an asking price, Lewis
said.
When negotiating, its not only
about the buyer. The seller needs
to be willing to negotiate a price,
too.
We want to be able to get the
highest price for the seller, Barnshaw said, and the lowest price
for the buyer.

The Sun

it in with an open mind that, in

some cases, it may not be accurate.
This includes estimated values
for homes, which are also listed
on these websites.
Zillow has a thing called Zestimates its a program in their
software that gives you an idea
what your home is worth, Lewis
explained, but in a town like
Moorestown, Haddonfield, towns
where they have eclectic homes
next to each other a ranch next
to a Victorian next to a colonial
its not very accurate.
He said people put too much
weight into what they find on
these websites, but there are errors and its not perfect.
Its good for a guide, but its
not the gospel, Lewis said.
Of course, it seems most
prospective buyers understand
this sentiment.
The National Association of
Realtors reported that 90 percent
of prospective buyers who started
their home search online last
year still used a real estate professional.
In addition to having more accurate information than whats
available online, Realtors are also
invaluable when it comes to
knowing about the area where a
home is located.
I can tell which ones are by
high tension wires, which ones
are on a busy street, Koons said.
Thats where my knowledge
comes into play.
Klaus agreed.
I think the consumer should
go out and should look online and
pursue information about the
town, but you cant determine
property value online, Klaus
said, and that is truly where that
real estate representative is going
to support your investment. Its
that kind of guidance.

First step in homebuying is pre-approval

FIRST

in monthly debts, such as credit

card bills and student loan pay-

ments, which will help calculate a

consumers debt-to-income ratio.
For real estate professionals, a
pre-approval from a mortgage
broker is not just the suggested
first step in the home-buying
process its essential.
We will not show you a house

until you have a pre-approval,

Angela Barnshaw, CEO of Haddonfield real estate agency
Agent06, said. Its not about a
loan its about a local lender
whos with a good company, who
has a variety of loan products
that they can offer you.

By KRISTEN DOWD
The Sun
The rental market is going
well, Lewis said. Individuals
who lost jobs in the recession
are now renting to build up
stronger credit.
Theyre good people who
got stuck in a bad situation,
Lewis said. They wait a couple years for credit to get repaired, and then they can get
back into looking at houses.
Damaged credit doesnt necessarily translate into not
being able to own a home. At
Weichert Realtors, there are
rental
consultations
for
prospective homebuyers who
are renting.
So many people walk
around and say, I really couldnt afford to buy. But they really can, Klaus said. A mark on
your credit doesnt mean its
going to stay there forever. We
do the financial counseling to
work toward credit repair. People need guidance to improve
their credit score.
According to Lewis, for
those who have good credit, its

prudent to buy rather than

rent.
If youve got good credit,
he said, you shouldnt be renting, you should be buying.
And with the market getting
better, its also a good time to
buy a home.
These rates are the lowest
theyve been in 30 years. Actually, closer to 40 years, Koons
said. Eventually these rates
are going to go up and youre
not going to see them again
If you can afford to pay $2,000
to $4,000 in rent, you should be
buying a home, not renting a
home. It just doesnt make
sense.
Renting to own a property
or a lease purchase is another option. Renting to own
means a consumer will rent a
property for a negotiable term,
and a percentage of the rent
goes toward a down payment.
Then, after that time period, you have the down payment the money saved and
you can buy the property,
Lewis said. Its a good way to
go if you dont have the down
payment.

Inventory is increasing
INVENTORY
Continued from page 18
inventory. According to the New
Jersey Association of Realtors,
the number of homes for sale in
all markets was down 15.5 percent
earlier this fall, compared to the
same time period last year. But
closed sales in all markets have
risen 21.8 percent.
It goes back to supply and demand, Koons said, adding the exception is the million-dollar-plus
range. Theres a three-year inventory of million-dollar-plus
homes.
Spring and summer saw a lot
of Earth moving, Klaus said,
with more homes listing for sale.
The inventory is increasing, and
real estate professionals want the

public to know there are still

plenty of homes to buy. New subdivisions have been going in
around Burlington and Camden
counties, and there is a clear
uptick of 55-plus communities in
the region.
When we were coming out of
the boom, there were a lot of disbelievers. The market contained a
lot of inventory that clearly could
no longer support what (sellers)
were asking, Klaus said. Now,
theyre listening to the real estate
agents. Theres a higher percentage of people priced right in the
marketplace. The buyer traffic is
extraordinarily good.
(Buyers) like to look at a lot of
inventory before they make that
selection. They dont like to compromise, she continued. Were
trying to match up the buyer with
their dream home.
