Ten Ways to Win: #3 – What is a Pre-Approval Letter?  (And I thought I had one!)

February 8, 2021/0 Comments/in News /by Brandon Potts

We live and work in a “one shot” housing market.  What does this mean?  It means that, as a Buyer, you have “one shot” to get the Seller’s attention and to move your offer to the top of the competitive bid pile.  Critical to your chances in this market is assuring the Seller that you […]

Ten Ways to Win:  #2 – Choose your lender Carefully

February 8, 2021/0 Comments/in News /by Brandon Potts

How important is your mortgage provider to the purchase of your new home? Look up the word “cornerstone.”  The cornerstone is the first stone set in the construction of a masonry foundation.

Ten Ways to Win: #1 – Is Conventional Financing on a Mortgage “better” than FHA or VA financing?

February 8, 2021/0 Comments/in News /by Brandon Potts

Columbus, Ohio is experiencing a severe single family home shortage. In some areas and price ranges there can be as many as 15-20 potential buyers for every home on the market.  For homeowners, this imbalance is like winning The Lottery.  For those wanting to purchase a home it can feel like the television show “The […]

Wallpaper

January 24, 2021/0 Comments/in News /by Brandon Potts

Really old wallpaper.  It stops me in my tracks every time. A sobering reminder of my own mortality.   Here’s what happens:  I’m a Realtor showing a client a really old house.  Somewhere, usually tucked in the back of a closet or stairwell I find the original wallpaper.  It’s often peeking through the peeling layers of […]

Social Capital: What do you do when you look around and you’re alone?

December 8, 2020/0 Comments/in News /by Brandon Potts

Life doesn’t have to be “busy” to be full.   The concept of “social capital” is one which is increasingly being recognized as a necessary component of a healthy life, especially as one ages.  What is “social capital?” It is the network of relationships we have in our lives which build over time and allow us […]

Social Capital: Why we all need it and “earning” it rewarding work

December 8, 2020/0 Comments/in News /by Brandon Potts

Recently I met with a homeowner who I will call Sheila.  Sheila is in her late 70’s and lives in a home far too big for her and one which she long ago lost the ability to maintain.   This is not the first time I’ve met with Sheila.  I have come three times in as […]

Social Capital: What’s in your bank?

I was visiting my nephew in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  Alex, who is a Resident at the University of New Mexico Medical Center works in pediatric medicine but regular stints in the Emergency Room are part of his training.  Because my real estate practice has found a niche serving the over-55 homeowner our conversation turned to […]

Pride of Ownership

July 13, 2020/0 Comments/in News /by Brandon Potts

I was driving out of a community a few weeks ago. I had just finished taking a lockbox off of one of my recently sold listings.   I came across a young man mowing his lawn.  Now, that in and of itself is not a big deal, right? Except this particular community charged homeowners, a monthly […]

The “Good” in Goodwill

June 23, 2020/0 Comments/in News /by Brandon Potts

Have you ever seen the pictures of a child in a third world country and wondered how that little boy got the Ohio State t-shirt he is wearing?  I mean, did he visit the OSU?  Did someone from Columbus visit him?  Is he a huge fan of the Buckeyes? Chances are none of the above.  […]

How far would you go if your grandkids were at the other end?

May 15, 2020/0 Comments/in News /by Brandon Potts

Last summer I visited Israel.  While driving through Arab communities I noticed an odd phenomena:  what looked like apartment buildings had occupied street-level dwellings and perhaps a completed second level, but often the third level was left uncompleted.  It looked like buildings were perpetually under construction.  I asked a local and was told that individual […]

Eulogy

May 15, 2020/1 Comment/in News /by Brandon Potts

Dave is dying.  He knows it. His family knows it.  His doctors have given him days to live.  The journey to this point has been long and the illness valiantly resisted.  There have been moments of optimism when he predicted grandkids bouncing on his knees.  But the sun has set on those days of hope […]

Flotsam, Jetsam and Loneliness

April 6, 2020/0 Comments/in News /by Brandon Potts

Did you know there is a difference between “flotsam” and “jetsam”?  While they are both maritime terms attached to shipwrecks, they have specific legal meanings.  Flotsam pertains to goods that are floating up to the surface of the water when a ship sits at the bottom of the sea. Jetsam refers to items intentionally thrown […]
