“So, Exactly WHERE I Am Supposed to Stand?!?”

Covid (Shot) Confusion, or, “One Two & Done”

Thirteen months into a pandemic, most people know the drill by now: wear a mask, stand six feet apart, stay home if you’re experiencing systems.

Which is fortunate, because anyone standing in line for a Covid-19 shot this morning looking down would have had no clue what the various black, red, and blue lines on the floor meant.

The explanation?

We were standing on the gym floor of the Robbinsdale Middle School — specifically, the basketball court; the lines indicated the top of the circle (key), the free throw line, and the “paint” or three second area.

Not That Kind of Shot

Afterwards, the very helpful staff — remarkably, all volunteers — offered two helpful tips:

One. Take a picture of your Vaccination Record Card, just in case you lose it (note: don’t lose it).

Two. Destroy the QR code on your appointment confirmation paperwork.

Used to confirm people’s identity at the sign-in desk, unbeknownst to many people (myself included), the codes also include a raft of personal data.

There sure seems to be some confusion on that, umm . . . point. I’ve now encountered at least three different properties — none close to one another — that all claimed that status in just the last month.

Estimating the Discount for a Busy Street (or Not)

Image
The Art of Comp Selection One of the trickier home features to account for in a Comparative Market Analysis (“CMA”) is a busy street. For a family with little kids, a busy street may very well be a deal breaker — in which case the discount is theoretically infinite. At the other extreme, an investor looking for a rental property may see the location as a plus: free advertising! Of course, not all busy streets are created equal: depending on how far the home is set back; elevation differences; the individual home’s layout; and even landscaping and other topography, and the noise level/loss of privacy can vary significantly. Two Strategies Faced with so many variables, Realtors and Appraisers can always simply choose an average discount — say , 10% off. Strategy #2? Choose as Comp’s (Comparable Sold Properties) only homes that are also located on busy streets. Even better: the same busy street. Then, there’s no need to make any adjustment, because all the home...

“Are You a Realtor?” “Why, Yes I Am!”

Image
“There Goes My Realtor!” Admittedly, the intended effect is for clients who see me in and around the neighborhood where I live (by Cedar Lake in Minneapolis) to see my car on the road and say, “There Goes My Realtor!” But, my custom license plate (above) is also a conversation-starter when I’m parked. Like today, in Linden Hills, where a builder who has an upcoming listing saw my car and asked if I was a Realtor.
