NBA All-Star Shawn Kemp Wants to Pass On His Washington Home for $2.5M

Thomas Shea/WireImage

Former NBA star Shawn Kemp is taking another shot at selling his Maple Valley, WA, home. Once the linchpin of the now-nonexistent Seattle SuperSonics, the 50-year-old is trying to shed his the home for a discounted price of $2.5 million.

The longtime power forward purchased the mansion for $2.4 million in 2003, the same year he retired from the NBA. Last year, Kemp listed the picturesque property for $3.7 million.

The 13,310-square-foot main house sits on 4.7 acres, which include a pool, tennis court, and basketball court. The grounds also offer garage space for 14 cars; though, the space could be converted into an “amazing” studio or home office, according to the listing.

Built in 1998, the mansion has four bathrooms and five bedrooms, including a master suite with a balcony. The scenic property is located about 40 minutes from Seattle.

The main level includes a double-height living room with wet bar, a formal dining room, a kitchen with breakfast bar, a family room, an office, and a home theater.

Kemp played professional basketball for 14 seasons, starting with the Sonics in 1989 and helped lead the 1996 squad to the NBA Finals. The six-time All Star also suited up for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Portland Trail Blazers, and the Orlando Magic. 

Rob Potashnick with Marketplace Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing.

Curbed Comparisons: 5 recent renovations on the Westside

From size to interior design, similarities reign when it comes to upgrading these homes west of the city

This installment of Curbed Comparisons takes a look at the recent renovations heating up Atlanta’s west side.

The last 12 to 18 months have seen an explosion of renovations west of downtown Atlanta, each one seemingly priced higher than the previous one. Each time it appears a listing hits a record high regarding asking price for the area, another one pops up reaching for just a little bit more. However, these properties seem quite similar in nature, both with regard to size and amenities, and, for the most part, in price.

Keller Williams Realty

Following a “careful and meticulous” renovation, this 1920 “Beltline Beauty” in West End features three bedrooms and two bathrooms in 1,696 square feet. The listing describes a home filled with a “gorgeous” family room with modern fireplace, a hand-crafted custom accent wall, and a “jaw-dropping en suite with a beautiful barn door” opening up to the walk-in closet. Unfortunately, there are no photos to support it. Current asking price is $345,000.

Shawn Wall Homes

After a “down to the studs” renovation, this 1950 craftsman in Mozley Park comes with three bedrooms and two bathrooms in 1,695 square feet. It also contains hardwoods throughout, an “open concept” that means a shared room for living, dining, and kitchen, and a “HUGE” master bath. Out of the many Westside listings that claim to have the “Beltline in the backyard,” this one actually does, with the Westside Trail running along the back property line. The current ask is $315,000.

Maximum One Realtor Partners

In a listing that equates this 1935 home in Washington Park to a person named after the street it lives on, the 1,626-square-foot home includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with a “sizable open floorplan.” As part of the “advanced craftsmanship,” there’s also “warm” hardwoods, a “sexy” fireplace, and a “comfy” family room. The current asking price is $295,900.

Terica Kindred Realty

Located on “the best street in West View,” this 1940 brick craftsman is “all new–bottom to top,” as one would expect in a “completely renovated” home. With 2,100 square feet, this property is the largest in this group, containing four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The second floor is brand new, which detracts slightly from the home’s original architectural style. Current asking price is $399,000.

Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Intown

According to the listing, great care was taken to preserve vintage elements during the renovation of this 1930, 1,652-square-foot bungalow in West View. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, these include original hardwoods, some original windows, and a large butler’s pantry. There are plenty of modern trends as well, such as the shiplap on the chimney chase and the subway tile in the kitchen. The current ask is $290,000.

Real Estate Industry and LGBT+ Leaders to Convene for NAGLREP 4th Annual LGBT Housing Policy Summit

The National Association of Gay & Lesbian Real Estate Professionals (NAGLREP) will stream its fourth annual LGBT Housing Policy Summit on Facebook Live on Wednesday, April 29.

The virtual summit will showcase how the real estate industry can work toward decreasing housing discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, increasing LGBT homeownership levels and attracting more LGBT community members into the profession.

The event will feature more than 20 speakers including U.S. Congressman Alan Lowenthal (D-CA) who has served eastern Los Angeles County and western Orange County since 2012. He is a staunch ally of the LGBT community and is a vice chair of the Congressional LGBTQ+ Equality Caucus. Congressman Lowenthal was the first member of Congress to fly the LBGT rainbow flag outside of his Capitol Hill office.

“While current events prevent us from meeting in Washington, D.C., we moved our event online to ensure the needs of the LBGT community in housing remain top of mind,” said NAGLREP Policy Committee Chair Jack Barry.

“The LGBT community’s homeownership levels remain low at 49 percent vs the national average of 65 percent, impacted by a variety of factors including the threat of discrimination at every step of the home-buying and -selling process. Last May, the Equality Act passed in the U.S. House of Representatives and, if it were passed in the Senate, would amend Federal Fair Housing Law to include protections for the LGBT community in both housing and credit. Currently the bill sits idly in the Senate so we must continue to raise awareness for it nationally and locally.”

Barry pointed out that NAGLREP’s profile within the LBGT community continues to grow. The Housing Policy Summit will feature such LGBT notables as David Stacy, government affairs director for the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), Jonathan Lovitz, senior vice president for the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce and Shawn Gaylord, executive director of the Congressional LGBTQ+ Equality Caucus.

The NAGLREP event will also showcase the findings of the recently released LGBT Real Estate Report that addressed how inequality in the lending sector impacts the LGBT community. Kimber White and Valerie Saunders, who co-chair NAGLREP’s LGBT Mortgage Advisory Group, will share insights into how LGBT discrimination affects home financing. Freddie Mac Director of Government Relations Anthony Hutchinson is also on the agenda, along with leaders from Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, Bank of America, Truist, US Bank, Quicken Loans, Prime Lending and the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Bryan Greene, director, Fair Housing Policy at the National Association of REALTORS® will share insights, plus a powerful panel of residential real estate leaders from Realogy, RE/MAX, HSF Affiliates, Engel & Völkers, eXp Realty and EXIT Realty. The event, sponsored by Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, will air on Facebook.com/NAGLREP on Wednesday, April 29.

Below follows the agenda (full list of speakers available at NAGLREP.com): 9:30 a.m. — Welcome Remarks 9:40 a.m. — Overview of the LGBT Real Estate Report 9:45 a.m. — What the LGBT Community Can Do Now 9:55 a.m. — A Look at LGBT Initiatives With Freddie Mac 10:10 a.m. — Welcoming the LGBT Community to Real Estate 11:05 a.m. — The Business Case for LGBT Inclusion 11:25 a.m. — Interview With Bryan Greene 11:45 a.m. — Inclusion in the Real Estate Industry 12:15 p.m. — LGBT Mortgage Advisory Group Update 12:30 p.m. — U.S. Congressman Alan Lowenthal 1:00 p.m. — Engaging With the LGBT Equality Caucus 1:30 p.m. — Closing Remarks

Amazon’s HQ2 Cities Will Boost Real Estate Markets – Robb Report

Months of speculation and anticipation came to an end this week when Amazon officially announced the joint selection of Long Island City in the Queens borough of New York City and Arlington, Virginia for its new headquarters. The two locales will split a $5 billion investment and over 50,000 high-profile jobs, the online sales giant said. “These two locations will allow us to attract world-class talent that will help us to continue inventing for customers for years to come,” founder and CEO Jeff Bezos wrote in a press release.

The pick spurred little surprise for analysts at REIS, a commercial real estate data and information outlet by Moody’s Analytics. Heeding Amazon’s search criteria—cost of living and of doing business, access to public transportation and to top talent, among others—REIS’s Barbara Denham and Victor Calanog ranked New York City and the District of Columbia as first and third potential choices. Suburban Virginia came in sixth in their 2017 whitepaper.

Both Long Island City and Arlington have seen their appeal soar in recent years. What drew Amazon to them might well be the same qualities that lure residents in—vibrant and growing communities, well weaved into the rich fabric of large metros with major political, economic, and cultural opportunities. Overlooking the East River and sprawling only one metro stop away from Manhattan, Long Island City has added over 10,000 new apartments in less than a decade—so many that, in 2017, RentCafe designated it as the fastest growing market since the recession. More than 3,000 additional units are to come online by 2020, according to a report by Localize.city, a New York-focused real estate portal. Roughly the same amount became available in the first half of this year.

���We definitely have enough rentals in the pipeline currently that they will be absorbed by the time [Amazon’s move] comes to fruition,” says Christina DeCurtis, real estate broker with Compass. She cautioned, however, that unless more developments emerge, prices will skyrocket.

Despite a price slump last winter, Long Island City is already among the most expensive enclaves in Queens. Average monthly unit costs range from $2,500 for a studio to over $4,000 for a 2-bed apartment, according to a report by MNS, a Queens-based real estate brokerage. While any potential rise in rental prices will be substantial for Queens, it is likely to pale on the backdrop of the larger New York market. “It will reduce the discount between Queens and Brooklyn,” says Denham, senior economist with REIS.

When it comes to home buying, the median listing price in Long Island City exceeds $1.5 million, almost double the overall median for Queens, where most dwellers are renters. As Amazon employees settle in the neighborhood, DeCurtis expects purchases to spike, pushing developers toward condominiums rather than rentals.

Abatements, which New York City reinstated last year, offer a further incentive for new condo construction, she said. Such tax reliefs further swell the property-value gains for developers. An influx of Amazon workers in search of homes in the area could also alleviate the financial strain of expiring abatements on older buildings that are set to hurt current owners and landlords, DeCurtis said.

Like Long Island City, Arlington is to experience a boost in real estate demand. Unlike its northern counterpart, however, it is to sustain a larger impact on its housing market, Denham said. Shawn Battle, owner of the Battle Group/Orange Line Condo at Century 21 Redwood Realty, echoed that assertion. He estimated that 8,500 transaction occur inside the Beltway each year. Hence, only a few thousand new buyers could prompt a tectonic market shift.

Amazon plans to bring 25,000 jobs to its Arlington campus in National Landing, a swath that includes Crystal City and portions of Potomac Yard and Pentagon City. “If a lot of people are moved into the market, it is going to make the market a super seller’s market,” Battle says. “We already see a seller’s market for the most part in the area.”

That people want to move to Arlington is no grounds for wonder. John Eric, real estate agent with Compass, easily listed off the town’s many appealing traits—from transportation (proximity to an airport and an Armtrak station and a metro line) to recreation (sundry eateries and bars and parks) to education (some of the best schools and most educated workforces) to internet traffic. “It has become the It city,” says Deryl Judy, associate broker and one half of the Kimberly & Daryl Team.

Home prices reflect that desirability. The median home value is nearly $700,000, having jumped by 2.2 percent over the past year. Real estate listing platform Zillow estimates it will shoot up another 2.4 percent over the next 12 months, shaping a median list price per square foot twice as high as that for the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria metro.

Average rent in Arlington clocks a little over $2,000, which almost mirrors the rate in D.C., according to RENTCafe. Most of the new construction here is in the rental realm, said Battle, adding that it is “going to go crazy.” Investors will begin buying on the news that Amazon is moving in, ushering the first vestiges of price uptick, he said.

As more and more residents are set to flood the market over the foreseeable future, worries are starting to surface in both Arlington and Long Island City. Traffic is a major one—its magnitude could even overweigh any real estate advancements, Denham said. In Arlington, water taxis may absorb some of the brunt, Judy said. In Queens, DeCurtis said that congestion—on the streets, in schools, in parking lots and in various amenities—might prompt politicians to enact infrastructural updates.

And yet, the pains of growth, realtors in both locales agree, might well be worth the exalted profile that comes with housing one of the world’s most prolific companies.

South Florida’s biggest office sales in July

South Florida’s biggest office sales in July

Broward County’s office market was hotter than its sister counties to the north and south.

Four out of South Florida’s five biggest sales occurred in Broward – likely due to the limited supply of office properties.

While there was a lot of activity in Broward, none of the deals surpassed $20 million. The Green Companies made the largest purchase of the month in Plantation, a market that’s had one of the lowest vacancy rates in the county for Class A office space at 5.57 percent in the first quarter of this year, according to Avison Young.

The July investment sales figures were compiled from Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach County property records.

Southpointe – The Green Companies | $18.5M

The Green Companies paid $18.5 million for a nearly 80,000-square-foot Class A office building in Plantation.

Boston-based TA Realty sold the four-story building called Southpointe at 7901 Southwest Sixth Court for $232 per square foot. 

The Southpointe building was 98 percent leased at the time, according to a press release. Avison Young’s David Duckworth, John Crotty, Michael Fay, Greg Martin and Brian de la Fé represented TA Realty.

TA Realty purchased the building in 2007 for $16.25 million.

The Green Companies is a Miami-based, family owned real estate business. Its portfolio includes the Dadeland Centre offices in Miami.

299 Alhambra Circle – URBIN | $12.5M

A co-working space operator called URBIN bought an office building in Coral Gables for $12.5 million.

URBIN bought the 52,719-square-foot office building at 299 Alhambra Circle for about $237 per square foot.

The five-story office building was sold by Coral Gables Financial Center, managed by Shawn Khosravi, who also is an investor in URBIN.

URBIN has raised $23 million from investors including Location Ventures and Jonathan Vilma, a former University of Miami football player who played for the New Orleans Saints and the New York Jets, according to the South Florida Business Journal. Other investors include Vivian Bonet, Luis Estrada, Carlos Lopez and Daniel Motha. URBIN reportedly plans to raise another $50 million by the end of 2018.

Randstad Building – Spectrum Investors | $11.5M

Spectrum Investors bought an office building in Fort Lauderdale that houses the staffing firm Randstad Associates for $11.53 million.

The Hillsboro Beach-based company purchased the 136,155-square foot building at 2050 Spectrum Boulevard from a subsidiary of Randstad for $85 per square foot. The building was built in 1990 on a 266,646-square-foot lot right off Commercial Boulevard.

What to Do If You Find Mold

Mold: four letters, one syllable, a world of anxiety and stress. It’s such a simple word with the potential to cause so many problems. Why is mold so troubling and what should you do if you find mold in your house or discover it while you’re house hunting?

5 facts about mold

According to Mark England, an AdvantaClean owner in Raleigh-Durham, NC, there are five facts that you should know about mold:

Mold grows quickly: It only takes 24 to 48 hours for mold to grow and spread in wet, warm conditions.

Mold is undetectable: Excessive moisture behind walls, under floors or in cabinets or closets are perfect breeding grounds for mold. This is mold that you often can’t see or smell but it can make you and your family very sick.

Mold issues are expensive: Mold damage can cost as much as $10,000, and most insurance carriers will not cover the cost of mold removal.

Know the symptoms of mold exposure: They include severe body aches, joint pain, nausea and chronic, sometimes serious respiratory issues. These symptoms can develop quickly or over time.

Know the people at risk: The very young, the very old and people with compromised immune systems are most likely to be affected by mold. Mold can even be deadly among these groups of people.

When you find mold in your home

So, how do you know if mold is present in your home? England tells Freshome that you can often see or smell it. “Mold usually has a green or black color and it smells musty or earthy, sort of like the forest floor deep in the woods.”

England recommends an antimicrobial – for example, hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, or baking soda mixed with water – to kill mold or stop it from growing. “Spray one of these onto the mold area and remove with a scrub brush or disposable rag while wearing protective coverings such as face masks, gloves and shoe covers.”

Aside from treating the mold, you must address the moisture issue. Image: Urban Abode

If you treat mold yourself, always wear protection

In fact, preparation and protective wear are important parts of making sure that you’re removing – and not spreading – mold.

Robert Weitz is a certified microbial investigator and founder of RTK Environmental, a leading environmental testing firm. If you find mold, he recommends having a professional mold test to see if you can clean it yourself. If you can, he has a list of items that you’ll need:

A mask or respirator to filter out the mold spores you’ll be disturbing

Eye protection

Rubber gloves

Rags and a scrub brush

Non-ammonia soap or detergent

A large pail

Bleach

A fan and/or dehumidifier

Work clothes, either old or white, since you will be using bleach

A plastic garbage bag

White vinegar

If you find mold and opt to remove it yourself, make sure you don’t inadvertently spread it. Image: Quezada Architecture

Directions for removing mold from a cement wall

“Before removing black mold from a cement wall, dampen the moldy area well with a rag and plain water,” Weitz advises. “This will keep the mold spores from disbursing through the air.” Next, he says you should try to remove as much of the mold as possible with a scrub brush and non-ammonia soap or detergent.

Weitz believes in the power of bleach and says it will remove any leftover mold and stop future mold growth. He instructs readers to add 1½ cups bleach to 1 gallon of water in a pail. “Wet the surface well with this mixture, letting it soak in for about 15 minutes. Then, scrub the area with the scrub brush and rinse well with clean, clear water.”

He recommends repeating the bleach steps until all visible mold is gone. “Next, use a fan and/or dehumidifier to dry the area well.” If any moisture is left, Weitz says your wall is subject to new mold growth.

Washing the mold off of your clothes is crucial

When you finish, he says to take off your work clothes, place them in a plastic bag and transport them to the washing machine. (Your clothes will be covered with mold spores and he says this will ensure you don’t track them through your house.) “Add ¾ cup white vinegar to your wash water to kill the mold on your clothes.”

Keep in mind, you need to ensure that you’re addressing the problem and not just a symptom of the problem. “When you come across mold in a home, it should be understood that you have a moisture issue first and a mold issue second,” says Evan Roberts, a real estate agent with Dependable Homebuyers in Baltimore, MD.  He tells Freshome that scrubbing surface mold with mold killer will not be effective if you do not address the moisture issue.

Remember that professionals have tools that you don’t

According to Jeff Miller, a real estate agent with AE Home Group in Maryland, “More often than not, the mold is either from a small plumbing leak or from a roof leak, so fix that first. If the mold is located under a bathroom or kitchen sink where there could be a plumbing leak, call a plumber to investigate.” Similarly, he recommends having a roofer inspect and seal any gaps in the roof if you see that’s the cause of the mold.

Miller recommends having the mold remediated by a professional. “They have access to the proper chemicals you need to ensure no mold residue after treatment, and they can test your home to ensure that the mold hasn’t spread.”

Kyle Rowley, mold remediation expert at Restoration 1 in Waco, TX, agrees. He says that mold can be tricky and dangerous. “Even if there has been no water damage to a property, mold can come from something as simple as a leaky window because moisture and mold go hand-in-hand.”

And because mold can cause so many problems, he says homeowners shouldn’t take any chances. “Having mold present can lead to allergens, irritants, mycotoxins, sneezing, breathing problems and long-term diseases,” Rowley says.

When you find mold while house hunting

The key to finding mold is knowing where to look for it. “Check dark, damp places for mold, like under cabinets and in basements, crawl spaces and attics,” advises Tina Tyus, a real estate broker at Town Square Realty in Birmingham, AL, and author of “So You Want to Flip Houses?”

Even if you don’t find mold, Tyus says a home inspector will be able to locate it if mold is present. “And if it’s found, mold remediation should be addressed prior to closing,” she says.

During the home inspection process, there’s an inspection contingency period and buyers have options, according to Shawn Kunkler, a San Francisco-based realtor and author of “Insider’s Guide to Home Buying.” If mold is discovered, he says this can be a point of negotiation or the prospective buyer may be able to walk away from the home.
