May. 30, 2009 - Real Living's Peace of Mind Mortgage Protection

It’s called “Peace of Mind.” (.pdf document from Real Living HER with details, terms)

” The Columbus-based real estate firm Real Living HER announced today that it will cover the mortgage of clients who lose their jobs.

The firm, the largest in central Ohio, says it is the first real-estate company in the area to offer the protection, which some car makers and home builders also offer.”

You have to work with a Real Living HER agent (have I mentioned I am one?)  and get a  Real Living mortgage on the home of your dreams.  The Peace of Mind insurance program is for a limited time. *

May. 8, 2009 - What's Columbus Best Home Search?

Maybe this blog is NOT dead... who knows.

Well maybe not best but what search do you use to find local homes? This post is written to consumers not the real estate industry or real estate social media gurus (as both groups might be biased!) about the best... being their own of course.

Use more than one? Vote for more than one... you can vote to up to six... hopefully you are NOT trying to use six searches to find local homes....

I first asked the question, long, long ago in 2006 on the original Columbus Best Blog this blog!!! (name later changed to Discover Columbus)... When I first asked, I asked about local companies:

Best Columbus Real Estate Search

HER RealLiving.com (the company I am affiliated with, now called Real Living HER)

Coldwell Banker King Thompson

and of course Realtor.com

The post with the first poll was quickly folllowed by the post with the second poll which included the new kids on the block... even though they were not really on the block.. they were far, far away... but they like Realtor.com have real estate searches for all over the country.

Best Columbus

What do you use? Someone asked me via Twitter what was the best search engine for what he wanted to do.

Search on my site and you are using Real Living HER's home search of course. 

Search for Central Ohio Homes
