Martha Nichols, 78

Martha Marler Nichols, 78, died Sunday morning at Mountain Valley Hospice in Yadkinville, NC, January 19 of cancer, surrounded by her family. She was a beloved wife, mother, aunt, cousin, grandmother and friend. Martha was born and grew up in Winston-Salem, NC the daughter of Ralph H. Marler and Jeanne Lalance Marler, a member of First Presbyterian Church, attended RJ Reynolds High School, and then Converse College in Spartanburg, SC. She married James P. Barksdale, JR of Rocky Mount, NC, a Presbyterian minister in 1962 and lived in Kannapolis, NC, Charlotte, NC, and North Wilkesboro, NC with churches that he was called to serve. After his death in 1981, Martha married Ward H. Nichols, a renowned artist and returned to live in North Wilkesboro, NC.

From the beginning of her adult life as a Presbyterian minister's wife, Martha was a devoted supporter of her husband and his career, but she also had outside interests and took art and history courses while in Charlotte and North Wilkesboro. An artist herself, she taught watercolor and drawing classes at Wilkes Community College, volunteered at the Wilkes Art Gallery and became the gallery's director in 1976. Following this work, Martha served as the Director of ExperienceWorks, the Director of Retired Senior Volunteers Program, a Commissioned Realtor with Caldwell Banker and Apple Realty, and lastly as the Marketing Director of Rose Glen Manor, the organization from which she retired.

When Martha's mother died, she became a consummate gardener to work through her grief and before limitations in her mobility, had over 200 roses in her garden, was an award-winning master rosarian and was a member of the Winston-Salem Rose Society and American Rose Society. Valentine's Day would signify the delivery of her roses to many friends and loved ones throughout Wilkes, Caldwell, and Forsyth Counties. Also inspired by her mother's lifelong hobby of quilting, Martha became more than an avid quilter, making over 50 quilts and prayer blankets, most of which she gave to friends in celebration of a joyous occasion, or to friends who faced serious or terminal illnesses.

In fact, Martha sought out people who were experiencing terminal illness, becoming their friend and counselor, and providing whatever comfort she could give. In 1980 when her first husband was diagnosed with cancer, Martha created what she called a home-grown hospice program since hospice was not yet widely available. This led to her contributions towards hospice in Wilkes County, culminating in 1984, first with a speech and presentation to a group of clergy from western NC and subsequently to another group of oncologists in the area. She became well known for her lecture, "The Impact of Cancer on the Family Unit: Psychological and Theological Emphasis" and sharing her experiences were instructive in enhancing their understanding.

The arts helped bring Martha and Ward together, and Martha's life with Ward provided another ongoing connection to the arts. Ward claims that Martha was his biggest advocate and supporter, often naming his paintings and providing constructive feedback. She also managed the business affairs of his work, helping to organize most of his shows and always serving as a consummate host to out of town guests and collectors. They were married for more than 35 years, and their lives included an international trip almost every year and to every state in the continental US. Ward and Martha were members of North Wilkesboro Presbyterian Church and attended regularly, and Martha served as an Elder and on the membership and personnel committees. Martha's involvement in the community was extensive, and she was particularly proud of Vision2020, a long-range planning effort in Wilkes County during the 1990's. Ward and Martha also frequently visited Charleston, SC, West Virginia and Isle of Palms, where Martha's children would join them for a week at the beach.

While Martha had a full career and many interests and hobbies, she would claim her most important accomplishment was her family, with her first husband, Jim Barksdale and their three children, and then her marriage with Ward Nichols, which coincided in time with the arrival of her four grandchildren. Martha created an intimate family whose members have always deeply supported each other, teaching them how to love and to cherish, particularly during difficult times. Her values were very clear, she was a fervent advocate for the underprivileged, and donated her time and money to the homeless and the poor. Several causes stand out; she created the Ralph H. Marler, JR Award for the Wilkes Art Gallery in memory of her brother, and the Katie Fund for the Wilkes Animal Hospital in memory of her beloved cocker spaniel.

In addition to her parents, Martha was preceded in death by her first husband, Rev. James P Barksdale, JR and her brother, Ralph H Marler, JR. She is survived by her husband, Ward H Nichols; and her three children, James P Barksdale III, Elisabeth S Barksdale (Laura E Clay), and grandson, Kip H Barksdale, John M Barksdale (Katina M Barksdale), and grandchildren, Ellis A Barksdale, Finn P Barksdale, and Catherine M Barksdale.

A memorial service will be held on February 1 at 2:00pm, at the North Wilkesboro Presbyterian Church, with a celebration of life to immediately follow in the church fellowship hall. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to any shelter for the homeless, or to one of the funds inspired by Martha.

Family Bible

Here I offer a description of a family Bible that was given to me many years ago. It belonged to my father's family; the first event recorded in it is the marriage of my great-grandparents in 1881.

The Bible itself is interesting for two reasons. First, I'm pretty sure it was published in Louisville, Ky., presumably c. 1875. (The title page has been lost, but I recall seeing it years ago and being surprised that it was published in Louisville rather than, say, New York or Nashville.) Second, although it is the King James Version, it includes the Apocrypha or deuterocanonical books such as Ecclesiasticus — unusual for a Protestant Bible. The cover is 12 5/8" high and 9 5/8" wide (32.2 cm × 24.3 cm); the pages, 11½" H × 9 5/16" W. The book is about 4 1/8" thick. The accompanying pictures show the book and a typical page.

Bibles of this era are usually of interest for their genealogical information, so let's get to that. The first page after the Apocrypha records the marriage of George H. Rommel and Sophie Haager on January 12, 1881.

On the next page we have the marriages of their children:

Elsie May Rommel to Robt. Elmer Hickey — Nov. 25, 1914 Albert J. Rommel to Omea C. Irvine, June 14, 1916 John R. Rommel to Helen R. Rietze, Oct. 25, 1916 Will. D. Rommel to Louise Schaarschmidt, Nov. 26, 1917 [my grandparents] Ruth Caroline Rommel to Walter W. Wilhoit, Feb. 28, 1925 Clarence J. Rommel to Betty Ray Hart, Sept. 20, 1930 [I was told that Clarence bore a strong resemblance to the Desert Fox himself, Erwin Rommel] George Harry Rommel to Mary Hanafee, Aug. 17, 1936

At this point there is a heading in my father's hand saying “marriages of grandchildren”, which is probably correct except for Elsie's second marriage.

John L. Rommel Jr. to Sherrill Wagner, Sept. 6, 1941 Alla Irvine Rommel to Joseph Gordon, December 1941 Alla R. Gordon to James McConathy, Sept. 1, 1945 Elsie R. Hickey to Louis B. Elliott, May 22, 1948 [Elsie's second marriage. Elsie and Louie were still alive when I was a boy, and I fondly remember going to visit them. Louie played the harmonica for us, quite well. He was also noted for having good teeth; he allegedly brushed his teeth five times a day. Elsie was a tough bird and lived to 95.] Geo. Irvine Rommel to Marilyn Dayton, June 1948 Robert Malcolm Rommel to Doris Ann Frick, Aug. 28, 1948 Ralph Haager Rommel to Mattie Hoskins, April 28, 1951 William Houghton Rommel to Ann Hayes, Mar. 19, 1955 [my parents; my mother's name reads “Anne Phylis”, but she detests the name Phyllis and has never used it]

The next page shows the births of George H. and Sophie's children:

William D. Rommel Born Nov. 28, 1881 John L. Rommel Born Nov. 28, 1881 Robert H. Rommel Born May 3, 1883 George Harry Rommel Born Nov. 18, 1884 Julius Albert Rommel Born Sep. 12, 1886 Louis Edward Rommel Sep. 6, 1888 Elsie May Rommel June 30, 1891 Clarence Jos. Rommel Feb. 6, 1893 Ruth Caroline Rommel Feb. 26, 1895

The next page shows deaths:

Louis Edward Rommel, Feb. 1, 1901, 3 pm Robert Haager Rommel, April 16, 1929, 11 am (Father) George H. Rommel, Oct. 22, 1933, 2:30 pm (Mother) Sophia Haager Rommel, Dec. 14, 1935, 10:30 am Robert Elmer Hickey, July 12, 1937, 11 am Walter W. Wilhoit, April 7, 1940, 7:45 am Lt. Joseph Gordon (airplane accident in Australia), April 1942 Clarence Joseph Rommel, April 19, 1944, 2:30 am Omea Irvine Rommel (wife of A.J.R.), May 9, 1945, 5 am Betty Hart Rommel (wife of C.J.R.), June 26, 1947, 6 pm Infant son of Alla and James McConathy, Dec. 13, 1947, at birth Mary Hanafee Rommel (wife of George Harry), July 25, 1949, 9:30 pm Julius Albert Rommel, March 23, 1952, 6:45 pm William D. [Daniel] Rommel, August 29, 1955, 1:30 am Ruth Caroline Rommel Wilhoyte, July 5, 1961, 7 pm [I suppose Wilhoyte is a variant spelling of Wilhoit.] Phyllis Jane Rommel – daughter of William D. and Louise S. Rommel, September 24, 1963, 4:30 pm John L. Rommel Louise S. Rommel, wife of Wm. D. Rommel [my grandmother, whom I remember dimly; this must have been around 1968] George Harry Rommel, Sept. 16, 1972 Louis B. Elliott [Nov. 5, 1972] [Elsie is not shown, but she died on Jan. 26, 1987]

The next page, headed "Memoranda", contains the births of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Billy Houghton, son of W. D. Rommel, born February 5th 1919 [my father] John Larabee Jr., son of J. L. Rommel, born August 30th 1919 Alla Irvine, daughter of A. J. Rommel, born December 25th 1919 Ralph Haagar, son of W. D. Rommel, born April 15th 1921 George Irvine, son of A. J. Rommel, born May 24th 1921 Phylis Jane, daughter of W. D.

Miami developers are being forced to choose: discount, rent or wait it out?

Brickell Heights’ developers, Related and Rockpoint Group, began closing sales in June of last year and have since sold out both towers.

Now that a number of condo projects have been completed this cycle, developers are facing a new source of sales competition: their buyers.

In the first half of the year, real estate agent Ceiliah Epner represented the seller of two units at the Four Seasons Residences at the Surf Club, which Fort Partners delivered in March 2017. Both units sold at a discount compared to the developer’s remaining inventory, Epner said.

“We just looked at what inventory was available and priced it lower than the developer,” said Epner, a real estate agent with Miami Real Estate Group, referring to both deals. “They couldn’t match the pricing.”

Epner also threw in a bonus offer to the buyers’ agents: a 5 percent commission, higher than the developer’s standard 4 percent. Epner had volunteered to take only a 1 percent commission, but ultimately represented both sides in both deals. “I knew we needed to compete against the developer units in all aspects,” she said.

The seller of the two units would only accept full asking price and all cash for both, and the $7 million unit ended up sparking a bidding war, according to Epner. The other unit sold for $6 million. Despite receiving cash on both sales and closing quickly — which was the reason for pricing them so competitively — the seller still lost about $2 million on his investments.

Never mind those losses — the more troubling implications are for that developer, whose unit listing prices were undercut by the reseller, who still didn’t recoup their money.

To understand just how many developers still have product to move ahead of the resellers, The Real Deal conducted an analysis of sales in condo projects that recorded their first closings in 2017 in Miami-Dade County.

The data shows that many of the biggest recently completed condo buildings in the county are at least 50 percent sold. TRD sourced the sales information from the Miami-Dade property appraiser, accounting for sales through May 2018.

Projects like Biscayne Beach, completed in May 2017 by Two Roads Development and GTIS Partners, and Related Group and Rockpoint Group’s Brickell Heights, delivered a year ago, are sold out, except for one remaining unit in Brickell Heights’ West Tower.

But others, from smaller boutique developments like Louver House in Miami Beach and Biltmore Parc in Coral Gables to the larger Four Seasons at the Surf Club and Privé at Island Estates in Aventura, still have sponsor units left.

At the Four Seasons in Surfside, Louise Sunshine — a strategic adviser to Fort Partners — said the 150-unit development is 85 percent sold with 18 units remaining. Property records show 74 closings have been recorded, which comes out to about 49 percent. The discrepancy between closed sales in property records and the developer’s sales figure can be attributed to the fact that some units are still being built out, Sunshine said, adding that those condos are expected to close within six months. She said that Fort Partners closed the sales center and is not offering any incentives on remaining units.

Mast Capital, too, is a luxury condo developer sitting on inventory, but also claims it is not considering offering buyer incentives. The Miami Beach firm completed Louver House — a 12-unit, four-story development — in August, and it’s 75 percent sold. Anna Sherrill, director of sales, said the three remaining units are priced from $2.3 million to $2.8 million.

As more projects get delivered in 2018 — like Jade Signature in Sunny Isles, Riva in Fort Lauderdale, the Harbour in North Miami Beach and the Paraiso District in Edgewater — developers will be faced with increasing pressure to sell out.

“Timing is everything. It’s not product. It’s not location. It’s timing,” said Peter Zalewski, founder of Cranespotters and director of acquisitions for Brickell Ventures, a real estate fund that targets underperforming properties.

Buyers of preconstruction condos typically try to flip their units, he said. But there’s little benefit in doing so if the building begins closing sales when the market is flooded with inventory, as it is now. “I always tell my clients, ‘Buy preconstruction because you believe in the project, you like it and you wouldn’t mind owning it for a while,’” said Andres Asion, founder of Miami Real Estate Group. “Don’t buy it to flip it. You might get very disappointed when the time comes to sell it.”

When owners aren’t able to sell, “the next hustle is to rent it,” Zalewski said.

Next up: bulk buys?

Behind closed doors, some developers are negotiating deals of handfuls of units to investors, sources said. Sometimes it’s before a building is completed and starts recording closings, as part of a push to finally wrap up presales. Other times it’s months after a project opens its doors.

“Some of these developers realize the jig is up, and they want to get out sooner than later,” Zalewski said, referring to those who offer discounts for packages of units.

Michael Internoscia, director of sales at Marina Palms, expects “the bulk guys” to fully descend on South Florida’s condo market within six to eight months.

Fund managers are already heading down to South Florida to scout opportunities, Zalewski said. “Typically, it takes one move to sort of trigger it all. Once one deal trades and resets the entire market, everyone piles in and rushes in,” he added.

TRD took a closer look at some of the projects that began recording closings in 2017, tracking where sales stand and what developers are — and aren’t — willing to offer to achieve a sellout.

Privé at Island Estates

At Privé at Island Estates, sales suffered due to lawsuits between the developer and neighbors who have opposed the project’s construction since 2013. While only 50 percent of the building’s sales have been recorded, the project is about 85 percent sold, according to senior sales agent Adriana Vargas Hernandez.

About 20 units went under contract or sold in 2018, she said. In February, developers BH3 and Gary Cohen secured a $50 million condo inventory loan for 41 units, or about a quarter of the building.

Hernandez said the developer hasn’t discounted units because it’s priced well for the market at about $950 per square foot. Few units are being rented, and there haven’t been very many resales, she said.

Marina Palms Yacht Club and Residences

Most projects completed last year have been selling since 2014 and 2015. At Marina Palms in North Miami Beach, where sales launched in 2014, owners are having more success with their units than the developer is with its remaining inventory.

Plaza Equity Partners built the 468-unit, two-tower project in two phases. The North Tower was completed in 2015 and is sold out. The South Tower was delivered in February 2017 and was 87 percent sold as of this May, according to property records.

Mike Internoscia, director of sales at Marina Palms, said there have been about 45 resales and 30 rentals at the waterfront project. The developer is discounting units on a case-by-case basis but is not doing so in bulk — at least not yet. It’s sold about eight units so far this year. Plaza Equity Partners is renting about five or six developer units to offset its carrying costs but hasn’t rushed to sell out the second building. Prices for remaining units start at about $815,000 for a 2,000-square-foot, two-bedroom condo. Most resales have closed for slightly more or slightly less, Internoscia said.

Biltmore Parc

Over in Coral Gables, MG Developer recently unveiled an initiative aimed at enticing buyers to pull the trigger at Biltmore Parc, a five-story, 32-unit condo building at 718 Valencia Avenue. Fortune International Realty announced in April that they would allow buyers to put only 10 percent down. The remaining 90 percent of the purchase price would be due within 12 months.

Only 11 of 32 units closed in county records since the project was delivered in December. Daniel Guerra, vice president of development sales at Fortune, said that four units went under contract since the developer began offering that incentive in April, but none of those buyers are taking advantage of the offer. He said Biltmore Parc is actually about 60 percent sold.

Echo Brickell

Property Markets Group is not and will not be renting out remaining inventory.

Ryan Shear, a principal at the development firm, said renting erodes the value of the unit. But he’s not against offering a good discount. Shear said about four units in Echo Brickell are left — the same number of units remaining when the developer completed the 57-story, 180-unit tower at 1451 Brickell Avenue in November. Property records show that 176 units have closed.

“We’re flexible on price,” Shear said. “Some people come in and buy multiple units, but there are no bulk trades. In any condo development, there’s some form of a discount being offered.”

In the meantime, his firm is working on building thousands of rental units in South Florida. Shear would not comment on when PMG plans to launch two high-profile rental projects, one at 300 Biscayne Boulevard and the other at 400 Biscayne Boulevard.
