NICK COHEN/The SunThe gym at Indian Mills Memorial School was filled with the sounds of the holiday season as theschool band and orchestra performed for family and friends. Under the direction of Anthony Scardi-no, the students performed holiday favorites using percussion, string instruments and horns.

Sounds of the season

By NICK COHENThe Sun

As a young boy, Stephen Re-ichenbach found himself "drawnto the quiet" of the woods of Cin-naminson, his hometown.

"I had already begun my medi-tation practice on solitary walks,the 60-year-old Reichenbach said.

Those woods of Cinnaminsonare long gone and so, in a way, isStephen Reichenbach.

Stocky, shaven-headed and out-fitted in sandals, he is now Sei-

jaku Roshi, Japanese for "puretranquility" and "teaching mas-ter." He can be found most days inthe quiet of Jizo-An, the five-acre

Zen meditation center he created14 years ago deep in the heart of the Pinelands in Shamong.

Founded in 1987, the year Roshiwas ordained a Buddhist priest,the community or sangha met forits first two years in a large Victo-rian house in Riverton, then for10 years in a split-level in Cin-naminson.

Roshi discovered the current

house in 2000. Partly buried, heat-ed by solar panels and oncecooled by a now-gone sod roof, itwas designed as a residence bythe late architect Malcolm Wellsof Cherry Hill.

"Some people think Shamongis the end of the Earth," Roshisaid. "So I say think of it as Med-ford."

Few passing drivers or resi-dents are even aware of its pres-ence, tucked off McKendimenRoad inside pine and oak woodsand adjacent to 50 acres of pro-tected forest.

A statue of Kannon, the Bud-dhist deity of compassion andthen a tall wooden grizzly bear

first greet visitors as they enterthe property. The meditation hallis on the far end of the mainhouse.

"We wanted to create as au-thentic a zendo as you'd find inJapan," said Roshi, who plannedthe space with the help of aBerlin design firm.

The holidays are a joyful time,with turkey on the table and thesmell of baked goods waftingthrough a warm, decoratedhouse. The thought alone is com-forting for most.

For soldiers fighting overseas,the same holiday feeling is out of

reach, but Operation Yellow Rib-bon did what it could to bring thefeeling of home to those abroadby hosting its annual cookie driveto collect home-baked goods andstore-bought favorites.

We want to give soldiers ataste of home and remind themthat theyre not forgotten, saidDave Silver, president of Opera-tion Yellow Ribbon.

OYR is a non-profit organiza-tion that prepares and sends carepackages in addition to organiz-ing welcome-home ceremoniesfor those serving in OperationEnduring Freedom.

We do this for the people whoserve our country who do it so wedont have to. We have the free-dom and we exercise the freedomto support them, Silver said. Itsour job to welcome them home.Were most thankful for theirservice for what they do andwere thankful for all they do forus.

The operation is always collect-ing supplies for the next round of packages to be sent. OYR also ac-cepts candy still sealed and re-cent, in addition to items listed onits website, www.operationyel-

lowribbonsouthjersey.org.People baked their favorite

treats or bought their favoritebaked item to send out to thetroops, Silver said.

The goodies were carefullypackaged by OYR and sent over-seas via priority mail on Dec. 8with expected arrival one to twoweeks following shipment.

When you make it yourself

and put your heart into it, itmakes the difference, Silversaid. We think this is a specialway to add their personal touch totreat the troops. This is a way youcan feel more in touch for the peo-ple that serve our country.

OYR receives letters and emailsfrom soldiers who have returnedhome, and still remember howthe packages from home affectedthem.

You know youre doing theright thing when they rememberyou and theyre reaching out af-terward. Its pretty amazing, Sil-ver said.

OYR is run by volunteers andthrough donations made by thecommunity.

Currently, the organization ispulling from funds normally usedto ship items to purchase wish listitems, which can be found on thesite.

We take anything across theboard, specifically anything we

take for granted here, Silversaid. We accept candy, babywipes for hygiene purposes, GirlScout cookies are coming up

Community supported by memberships, donations

Roshis days typically begin at 6 a.m.with prayer and zazen, or meditation, usu-ally with a few monks and students. Dailyduties may entail chores around the prop-erty, study and teaching, ending withevening prayers and more meditation. Healso does weddings and funerals and bless-es newborns as well as pets.

The community is supported by mem-

berships and visitor donations. Roshi alsoreceives a modest income from his family'strucking business.

Although trained at a traditional Zenmonastery and ordained by a highly re-garded Zen master, Roshi insists he is "notconcerned about things like schools andlineage."

Instead, he said, he teaches a message of self-awareness and authenticity.

He also offers training for laity andmonastic ordination for men and women.There are various ways for those interest-ed to become involved, some as members,

some as students who dont plan to takemonastic vows.

Some come here to deepen their spiri-

tuality, Roshi said. Some want to enterreal meditation training.Roshis aim as a Zen life coach is to en-

courage people to create authentic, mean-ingful and purposeful lives.

He sincerely hopes that word will spreadabout Pine Wind Zen Center.

We want people to come here. Thisplace exists as a place of refuge, Roshisaid. Its the best kept secret in South Jer-sey.

COMMUNITYContinued from page 1

As the holiday season begins towind to a close, we want totake this opportunity to thank

everyone who stepped up to help thosein need. This time of year usuallybrings out the best in people. Judgingfrom the number of announcements

we received from our readers regard-ing donation drives, it looks like thisyear was no exception.

Two years ago, Hurricane Sandy hitour state, and there was an immediateneed for support, in the form of food,clothing, supplies and shelter. Whilethere was no one major event like thatthis year, and while our economy is im-proving overall, there is still a majorneed for help in our state, especially forfood.

The holiday season always results in

an uptick in donations, but the Com-munity Food Bank of New Jersey sayswhat its receiving is still far short of what it needs. The reason? A high costof living in our state coupled withlarge-scale job loss in places such asAtlantic City.

Based on the number of holidaydrives we published this year, though,local organizations are doing their bestto help fill this need, and others.

Over the past few weeks, we have

had the pleasure of publishing storiesabout efforts to lend a hand. Like al-ways, there were the usual Toys forTots drives and more. We dont keep aformal count of the number of holidayfundraising event stories we publishfrom year to year, but it certainly

seemed that, in 2014, there were many.So, we thank those individuals and

groups who organized these efforts.And, on behalf of them, we also thankeveryone who picked up an extra canof non-perishable food, an additionalbag of dog food, one more toy andmore. To all of those who reached a lit-tle deeper into their wallets this year tohelp out, your generosity truly made adifference.

We wish everyone a happy holidayseason and hope for a wonderful 2015.

in our opinion

Happy holidays! A thank you to everyone who he lped t o brighten the season for those in nee d

Stepping upThank you to everyone who lent a helpinghand to those in need this holiday season.But giving shouldnt stop just because theholidays are almost over. Tell us aboutyour donation drive throughout the year,and well share it with the rest of thecommunity.

10 THE SHAMONG SUN DEC. 1723, 2014

By KRISTEN DOWDThe Sun

Right now if a home is pricedright, it will sell, Alyce Klaus,broker/sales representative withWeichert Realtors Moorestown,said.

As the real estate market con-tinues its slow recovery, morehouses are popping up for salearound the region. According toTrend MLS, for the first half of 2014, the average settled sales

price was $240,232 for BurlingtonCounty and $194,213 in CamdenCounty.

Annually, it is normal to expe-rience a relatively strong wave of buyers prior to Thanksgiving andChristmas/Hanukkah, AngelaBarnshaw, CEO of Haddonfieldreal estate agency Agent06, said.The reality of real estate is thatlife motivates people to buy orsell, not weather. Life is happen-ing at all times, and as we allknow, life knows no season!

Barnshaw like other area Re-altors expects a healthy marketthrough the end of the year.

The best folks can control it,they will press their efforts toclose before major holidays,Barnshaw said, hence our expec-tations for the coming month.

Once someone decides to selltheir home, its time to find a realestate professional.

Obviously you want to meetwith a Realtor, Dave Lewis, bro-ker/owner of B.T. Edgar and SonRealtors in Moorestown, said,and you want to get a realisticasking price.

The real estateprofessionals role

Im an impartial third party,Anne E. Koons, sales associatewith Berkshire Hathaway Home-Services Fox & Roach, Realtors,in Cherry Hill, said. So when weget an offer, I know what the

comps are, I know what the houseshould sell for. The seller is some-times too emotionally attached.You have to treat it like a businesstransaction and not an emotionaltransaction.

Koons recommends meetingwith two or three real estate pro-fessionals before choosing whomto use.

The initial consultation will de-termine the homes value intodays market.

They can price it two ways,Klaus said. They can make rec-ommendations for staging, house-keeping, gardening where thehouse can show better. If it showsbetter, it will sell quicker. Or theycan price it exactly how they see

it.The value range is going to de-pend on comparable sales andprice trending from the agent. De-pending on that price, a prospec-tive seller can then determine if it is worth it to sell, or if theyshould stay.

The importance of a Realtor isdifficult to encapsulate, but itsclear many people recognize thevalue. In an annual survey of re-cent home sellers by the NationalAssociation of Realtors, 91 per-cent of home sellers used a realestate agent to sell their home.

The value of a Realtor that isthe crux of everything, Barn-shaw said. How learned are you?How academic are you approach-ing the profession? To be able tosay, not only have I sold this manyhomes or done this for this manyyears, but I can show you marketdata. I can help you understandas a homeowner or a buyer howthis market data works for you oragainst you. Thats how we nego-tiate.

NegotiatingKoons says sellers should con-

sider any offer.I always tell my seller, Lets

counter with something. It sendsthe message youre willing to ne-gotiate, Koons said, adding sell-ers shouldnt be offended with alow offer. One of two things hap-pen (with a counter offer) theyeither go away, or they come up.

Klaus agreed that every offershould count.

Often, I find a seller becomesinsulted by a low bid. Respect it asan opening bid and respond to it,she said. People will initially

offer what they want to pay, notwhat they truly feel its worth.

As far as selling price versuslisted price, Koons said its oftenwithin 5 percent.

As long as the seller listens tothe comps in the area, listens to

the Realtor about the comps anddoesnt list for more than 5 per-cent over what the comps have,then its a pretty close sellingprice, she explained.

Sometimes, negotiating can goback and forth several times. Inother cases, its one or two offersbefore an agreement is reached. Areal estate professional will guidesellers every step of the way. Infact, according to a National As-sociation of Realtors profile, buy-ers ranked negotiating as one of the most important services theiragent provided, second only tofinding the right property.

TimelineAfter a house is sold, the

amount of time before the sellermoves out and buyer moves in isnegotiable. The average is 60days, Lewis said.

For an estate sale, the house isvacant, so a seller doesnt need tomove out and a buyer can moveright in.

Another scenario is, Im sell-ing my house, youre going to buymy house and Im going to buythe Smiths house. We all try tohave the same settlement date,Lewis said. Nine times out of 10,it works out fine.

Some sellers, Lewis explained,make a contingent on the sale of their home for finding suitablehousing.

In other words, you dont haveto sell to a buyer who gives you

your price because you haventfound another house, he ex-plained. Most of the time youhave three or four houses and

Staging: Whats the value?By KRISTEN DOWD

The Sun

Youre ready to sell, butyoure not sure if your home islooking its best. Would movingfurniture around help empha-size the size of a room? Shouldthose family portraits comedown? What about the crayonmasterpieces plastered all overthe fridge?

These are the types of deci-sions a stager can help with. Aprofessional stager will comeinto your home and prepare itfor the real estate market,cleaning up, clearing out and,in some cases, bringing furni-ture and accessories into thehome to showcase it best.

But whats the value of stag-ing a home, and is this addedexpense necessary?

Agent06 is a boutique real es-tate agency in downtown Had-donfield. For CEO AngelaBarnshaw, staging a buyershome is just part of the pack-age.

Every day when you driveout of your driveway, youregoing to feel like your house isthe best house on the market,

Barnshaw said with a smile.We have a unique systemcalled the Six Steps to Sold.

Its a concierge servicespackage that caters to each

client, and part of that packageincludes complimentary stag-ing and professional photogra-phy.

Selling your house is al-ways a painful process. Its nofun. No one wants to do it. Wetry to take some of that painaway, Barnshaw said.

More than anything, Barn-shaw said, is helping the home-owner detach.

When we step into that stag-ing process, it does help theseller detach. At the same time,its also helping a buyer anybuyer attach, she explained.

According to some area Real-tors, more important than stag-ing is simply decluttering anddepersonalizing a home.

Get rid of anything yourenot taking with you, Anne E.Koons, sales associate withBerkshire Hathaway HomeSer-vices Fox & Roach, Realtors, inCherry Hill, said. Freshen uppaint-wise. And also make surethe outside of your house is ingood shape.

Alyce Klaus, broker/salesrepresentative with WeichertRealtors Moorestown, saidcleanliness is more important

than staging.In some cases, we may rec-

ommend a professional stager

to come in, but theres an expenseto that, Klaus said. In mostcases we want to work in thehomeowners budget, work withwhat they have. We recognize thatwe have more vision and moreimagination than the averageconsumer.

Youre showing the rose andbloom, Klaus said. People wantto see light and they want to seeclean. Theres no substitute forsparkle.

Klaus said theres also no sub-stitute for a property that smellsfresh. The smell of air freshenersor candles suggests a hidden odor,but there are some smells thatcould enhance a sellers property.

When you talk about sensoryperception when youre touring aproperty baking bread or cook-ies it takes you to a comfortabletime. It makes you feel at home,Klaus said.

As far as big investments, thebest areas to consider are kitchenand bathrooms.

If you want top dollar for your

house, you better make sure yourkitchen and your bathrooms areup-to-date, Koons said, addingthat the roof, heating and air con-ditioning, hot water heater andappliances are other top areas of concern.

Most young buyers today, allthey want to do is buy the house,walk in and hang up theirclothes, she continued. Theydont really want to do any work.

Dave Lewis, broker/owner of B.T. Edgar and Son Realtors inMoorestown, said in his experi-ence, staging isnt usually neededin the local market.

What I find most of the time,especially in Haddonfield,Moorestown, Medford theyrenice houses. Theyre mid-level totop-management-type folks. Thehigher percentage of those folksdo not have messy houses, Lewissaid. You dont really spend a lotof time staging it.

For the best showing, Lewissuggests turning on all the lights,pulling back curtains and makingthe house as bright as possible.

And bake a pie, he added witha laugh.

think, Yeah, I could move intothese houses. So when you sellyour house, hopefully those hous-es are still there.

The timeline for selling a homeis a balancing act one withwhich real estate professionalscan help.

Having a good real estateagent who represents you on bothsides, if you can, is a marvelousthing, Klaus said. It keeps us upat night instead of the consumer.
