Eastern Shore of Virginia Habitat for Humanity has been committed to its mission of providing safe, efficient home ownership for those citizens in
substandard housing on the Eastern Shore. Since its incorporation in 1988, Habitat has completed and dedicated more than 40 homes in
Northampton and Accomack counties. They are now occupied by families who are working and able to make a small monthly mortgage payment,
which is INTEREST-FREE.
Each family is partnered with a support person who works with them on financial management, nutrition, health and parenting issues. A system of
workshops in coordination with the Virginia Extension Service helps educate the families about home maintenance and financial planning.
These are given each year.

Cape Charles, VA
Photo by Ray Gefken - Eagle Eye Aerial PhotographyText adapted from www.capecharles.org
Today, Cape Charles is governed by a Mayor and Town Council, and is served by a Town Manager and 32 employees. Town services include public water and
wastewater treatment, a five officer police force, a library, public works, and financial and administrative staff. As Cape Charles enters a new era of
revitalization, the Town seeks to preserve its historic character while growing to meet the modern needs of its citizens.
The Town of Cape Charles is located in Northampton County on Virginia’s Eastern Shore. The Town is situated on a small peninsula, bordered by the Chesapeake Bay to the west, King’s Creek to the north and Old Plantation Creek to the southeast. With a land area of 2,817 acres and a population of
approximately 1,000 residents, Cape Charles is the largest of Northampton’s five incorporated towns in terms of both land size and population. Since its inception
in 1886, Cape Charles has evolved into a dynamic town capable of meeting the needs of a diverse array of residents, visitors, and businesses.
While significant new development has occurred
in recent years, Cape Charles also has one of the best collections of historic
buildings of any community on the Eastern Shore. The
Town strives to preserve this rich architectural heritage.
An architectural survey that identified historic properties in the Town led to the listing
of the Cape Charles National Register Historic District in 1989.
An abundance of natural resources exist in Cape Charles. Critical wildlife habitats, such as wetlands and natural areas, are present within the Town’s
boundaries and nearby. In addition to serving an important ecological function, the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries are important to the local economy and
lifestyle. The Town’s concern for its natural resources is illustrated by projects such as the recent beach replenishment and the careful usage of ground water.

I found a house that I would like to buy, but the seller’s broker told me that I cannot have any contingencies in the contract.
Should I make an offer anyway?
Contingencies are Essential
There are three contingencies that I consider very important.
FinancingUnless you have all the cash needed to buy the house, you cannot take a
chance on lender unwilling to make you a loan.
AppraisalNowadays, appraisers are very conservative, and if their value is too low,
you will have to pay the difference with cash out of your own pocket.
Home InspectionWhy would you take a chance on an older house without having it fully
inspected by a professional, independent home inspector?
I know that sellers prefer no contingencies. But unless you are a gambler willing - and able - to take chances, I cannot recommend entering into a
contract without these three contingencies.
A contingency means that if certain things do not occur, and you are within the time period spelled out, you have the absolute right to cancel
the contract and get your deposit refunded.
Otherwise, if you find out that you cannot get a loan, you can lose the earnest money deposit. Or, if you buy the house and find thousands of dollars of needed repairs, you will have no one to blame but yourself.
