It took dropping everything and jetting across town an hour after it came on the market, but we finally found the elusive no-step, first-floor condo with direct entry from the garage for my grandma and grandpa 😊 Just a few days in and it’s already been quite the journey!

I’m legit just as lucky to have the chance to work with people I love 😊

"This was our second experience with Daniel Braun helping us, and he remains the best realtor we have ever worked with. He has an eye for detail when it comes to contracts and is able to work with other agents fluidly, allowing people to feel comfortable while looking out for his client's best interests. We have retained his services for both selling and buying a home and I would strongly recommend him for both. He is the best in the business: trustworthy, punctual, detail oriented and just overall awesome guy.”

Maybe a super dry read to some of you, but a pretty big policy win for home buyers in Ohio. Ohio real estate agents just received this notification from the Board of Realtors.

Gov. John Kasich Signs Home Inspector Licensure into Law

The top legislative priority of Ohio REALTORS for more than a decade -- home inspector licensure -- becomes a reality on March 4, after the measure was signed into law by Gov. John Kasich late last week.

The effort to establish a home inspector licensure system in Ohio, which was amended into Senate Bill 255 in the waning days of the 132nd General Assembly, will bring critical consumer-focused oversight to the last remaining unregulated aspect of the home buying process. Ohio will become the 31st state affording home buyers the assurance that the inspector they hire is properly trained to evaluate and assess the home's condition prior to finalizing what is likely the largest financial transaction they will make in a lifetime.

The measure established a regulatory board that includes representation from the home inspector profession that will adopt standards of practice, requirements for education and create a pathway for consumers to have their complaints addressed.

Additionally, it:

-Requires home inspectors to have 80 hours of pre-licensure education including classroom instruction, online instruction or in-the-field experience.

-Establishes a three-year license, with a requirement for 14 hours of continuing education annually.

-Ensures that consumers have access to qualified inspectors by creating grandfathering criteria that closely match current practices and standards.

-Stipulates that a real estate licensee is not required to give a home inspector referral. However, should a licensee choose to refer they must give no fewer than three names.

-Finally, the law establishes a Home Inspector Recovery Fund. Consumers who obtain a final judgement against a licensed home inspector may seek payment from the fund (up to $40,000).

This 4 bedroom/2 bath American foursquare in Northside has been dropped $75,000 as of this morning. Looking at this stuff every day, I’d identify this as a pretty substantial bargain at $224,900. This is also yet another example of why I’ll be waiting to buy until the winter when I buy my next home. Lmk if you’d like to take a look this weekend!

Looking for a great rental in a neighborhood where you’re likely to have consistent renters for years to come (think: UC, hospitals, etc...)?

This home fits the 1% rule for investment properties and is a true value for what you’re getting. I wish often that more of my friends and family knew how much winter is truly a good time to buy a home because of values like this one.

You may use up to 75% of the rental income this property would produce towards your own income when applying for your loan and the mortgage is likely to be paid for entirely by your tenants, plus some.

Message, email, or call me (513-309-9240) if you’d like a showing. I’ve got some free time this morning and afternoon.

T-minus one hour until the Sunday open house from 12-2pm at 4231 Williamson Place in Northside!

If you or someone you know is looking to make the move to Northside, this would be a lovely place to raise a family, with 2,800+ 3 bedrooms/2.5 bathrooms, 2nd-floor laundry (no steps to the bedroom!), and a lovely 3rd floor walkout balcony. And for the grass-cutter in the family, your work is done forever with not a blade of grass on the property. With our price drop on this house in the last few days to $295,000, and priced well below comparable value for a quick sale, this home is a wonderful value.

See you soon!

Part of what I love about real estate is working with amazing friends and clients who have graciously hand-selected and trusted in me to sell their homes. It truly makes it no big deal at all to personally hand-write and mail over 150 personalized letters per week to potential buyers for their homes.

This would be impossible without y’all and I am hashtag grateful 😜

Know someone looking for a STEAL on a home in Northside? Compared to even the next best-priced comparable, my newest listing at 4231 Williamson in Northside, just 3 blocks from Hamilton Avenue, has been listed $87,000 BELOW market value. Compare it to the average price per square foot of its 7 closest comps? It is $219,000 below market value!!!

But why would we do this, you ask? The owner of the home asked me to price it for quick sale so that she can move in to her new home and not have two mortgages.

With 2,830 sq ft, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a tax abatement, off-street parking, and a stunning 3rd-floor walkout, this is the best deal you’ll find in Northside.

Open house Saturday 12/1 from 12-1:30pm!
