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 […]

The Prayer

March 27, 2020/0 Comments/in News /by Brandon Potts

I’m Kathy Chiero.  Usually I’m talking to river listeners about houses.  Today given the enormity of the challenge facing our nation, I want to pray.

Father I thank you first that you are God.  There is nothing we are facing as a people, a family, or a nation of which you are unaware.  With that knowledge I ask that you give divine wisdom, clarity, and direction to our government leaders; I pray that you give strength, patience, and protection to the medical and emergency professionals attending our sick.   I pray for physical healing of those afflicted and peace to their families. I pray that you give us the compassion to find the lonely and scared that we can be your arms to reach out to our neighbors.  Finally, I pray that this trying time be a reminder of the precious gift that life is, the limitations of our human abilities and the utter dependence we have on you.  In Jesus name I pray.

Amen.

How far would you go for your grandkids?

March 2, 2020/0 Comments/in News /by Brandon Potts

It’s a decision that no grandparent wants to make and in past generations did not have to make: do we move to be near the grandkids?  Our American past is one of almost communal generational living: adult kids didn’t move.  A hometown was home and Grandma was the stopover on the way home from school.  […]

Could you “flip the whole damn ship” in your home?

March 2, 2020/0 Comments/in News /by Brandon Potts

I recently posed a question on my Facebook page: “Is it necessary for kids to have their own bedrooms?”  It could be expected that there are a variety of answers.  Adults speak out of their own experience and parents comment on what works for them.  One answer intrigued me.  Jennifer Wernert wrote “I’m 32 and […]

Does Every Child Need Their Own Bedroom?

March 2, 2020/0 Comments/in News /by Brandon Potts

There is a phenomenon that every Realtor has watched happen: a family with a perfectly respectable home decides they need to sell their house and buy another because the family has grown, and additional children means the need for an additional bedroom.  After all, every child needs their own room, right?   It’s the “American” in […]

Condo Living: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

March 2, 2020/0 Comments/in News /by Brandon Potts

My husband and I were at dinner a few weeks ago and we ran into a past client of mine. As their Realtor I had helped Dan and his wife, Bridgette, sell their single-family home and buy a condominium. Prior to meeting with me they had not seriously considered condo living and were unaware of […]

Are you ready for condo living?

March 2, 2020/0 Comments/in News /by Brandon Potts

It may seem like an obvious choice.  You no longer use several rooms in your home.  Exterior maintenance of your home is a chore you are either unwilling or unable to do.  You only live in Central Ohio half the year.  It’s time to shop for a condominium.  Maybe.  Maybe not. Let’s first understand what […]

If I can smell it I can’t sell it…

March 2, 2020/0 Comments/in News /by Brandon Potts

A newer agent in my office recently posed the question: “I am representing a young couple who found a home they love.  The only downside? It reeks of cigarette smoke.  I’m trying to advise them whether or not they should consider this home?”  It should be noted that this question was being asked in Columbus, […]

Avoid the “Hallway Huddle”

February 25, 2020/0 Comments/in News /by Brandon Potts

I hear it from elder care attorneys and medical personnel frequently: the worst decisions made are decisions made in a crisis.  Doctors and Nurses have a term for it: it’s called the “hallway huddle”.  Hospital and Hospice professionals see families in the hallway of the emergency room or ICU trying to figure out what Mom […]

The Hospice Decision: Making the Hard Choice at the Right Time

February 25, 2020/0 Comments/in News /by Brandon Potts

For many the word “hospice” is very much like the word “cancer.”  The connotation of the word means death and the topic is avoided until there is no avoiding it.  Terry Murphy is a registered nurse and the Clinical Director for Wesley Hospice Care in Columbus, Ohio.  “The biggest mistake families make,” says Terry, “is […]
