THE PIVOT ROAD TRIP 🍊
I’m stealing the idea for this post from my buddy JJ Mirick because he summed up our trip so well — but I’ve got my own version.
I haven’t been at Pivot Realty Group nearly as long as a lot of these people. In some cases, I’ve been here about a third as long as some of the agents on this trip.
So when I got invited to pile into the Pivot van and head to Dahlonega, Georgia, I was genuinely was honored.
Also slightly concerned about being trapped in a van with this crew for that many hours.
Turns out, I survived. ..(Barely. ) And I’d absolutely do it again.
We stayed at the beautiful and one of a kind The Mountain Top Lodge in the North Georgia mountains, where little did Pivot know I would have been OK with Holiday Inn and some powdered eggs.
We kayaked. We toured a gold mine (which I’m not great at Panhandling) .We ate. We drank. We laughed. We talked. Then we ate and drank some more.
And somewhere in there, I got to know people I already liked on a completely different level.
Then came Monday night and a ridiculous five-course wine-pairing dinner in the Wit & Wisdom Room.
Five courses. Wine with every course. Apparently, this is what happens when you sell enough houses. 😂
But as amazing as everything was, the best part was the people.
I have to give a huge amount of love and appreciation to Debbie, Lori and Mark. You could see how much thought, planning and genuine care went into this entire experience. They didn’t just organize a company retreat — they gave us a chance to stop talking about inspections, appraisals, closings and commission checks for five minutes and just enjoy each other.
And I realized something on this trip:
I’m kind of in love with these weirdos and respect for the people I work with at Pivot.
We are this wonderfully diverse, funny, talented, occasionally ridiculous collection of human beings who probably would never all end up in the same room if real estate hadn’t thrown us together.
Different backgrounds/ Different personalities/Different ages/ Different ways of doing business.
And somehow…it totally works.
Real estate can be insanely competitive, but at Pivot the culture is you root for one another, help one another, teach one another, laugh at one another — and occasionally drink too much wine in the Georgia mountains together.
I’m still one of the newer kids at the grownup table.
But I feel like I have a seat at it now..
And that means a hell of a lot to me.
So thank you, Debbie. Thank you, Lori. Thank you, Mark. And thank you to every Pivot agent who made this trip what it was.
I went to Georgia with a bunch of people I work with.
I came home realizing just how lucky I am to be part of this crazy, wonderful Pivot family.
And after five wine pairings, I’m pretty sure we’re legally family now.
Cheers, Pivot

A little gratitude before I hit the road…

Tomorrow I’m heading to Dahlonega, Georgia with a group of Pivot’s top-producing agents for a few days of relaxing, eating ridiculously well, kayaking, and celebrating a successful year.

Apparently if you sell enough houses, they let you leave Ohio for 3 days. 😂

But seriously, I’m incredibly thankful.

Real estate is a strange strange business. I can work my tail off, answer texts at ridiculous hours, crawl through 5 basements, negotiate deals, talk people off ledges, and pretend I understand what an electrician just explained to me…

…but none of it happens without people trusting me.

So to every client, friend, referral, lender, contractor, fellow agent, and person who has ever said “Call Puck” — THANK YOU.
You’ve helped me have a great year, but more importantly, you’ve allowed me to help a lot of people along the way (see how I did that? Lol)

I’m also really grateful to work for Pivot, a company that recognizes hard work and actually rewards its agents for it.
So tomorrow I’m off to Georgia with a bunch of really great agents.

There will be good food.
There will be a gold mine.??
There will apparently be kayaking (yikes)

Seriously — thank you again for the trust, referrals, support, and encouragement. I never take any of it for granted. 🏒

Hey, friends

Just a quick post today, because the American Sign Museum deserves a MUCH bigger post than I can squeeze into this one.

I popped in today to see my great and ridiculously talented friend Dana Hamblen — musician with The Fairmount Girls and Culture Q***r — and our friends at the museum were kind enough to hook us up with some FREE PASSES that we’ll be raffling off at our next live in person Nati Know-It-All in October!

And if you’ve somehow never been to the American Sign Museum… we really need to talk.

This place is an absolute Cincinnati must-stop. Neon. Advertising history. Incredible craftsmanship. Weird forgotten businesses. Giant signs. Tiny details. Basically 400 opportunities for a history-and-trivia nerd like me to stop walking and yell:
“WAIT…WHAT’S THE STORY WITH THAT?!”

And here’s a little tidbit I didn’t know: there’s an actual working neon shop INSIDE the museum. Neonworks of Cincinnati operates right there, and you can actually watch craftspeople bend glass tubing and make or repair neon by hand. That craft still can’t really be automated. How cool is that?

Also, the museum itself started as founder Tod Swormstedt’s self-described “mid-life crisis project.” Which may be the single greatest argument for having a mid-life crisis I’ve ever heard. 😂 It eventually grew into what’s now the largest and most diverse public sign museum in the country.

I’ll be doing a proper post about this place soon, because there are way too many Cincinnati angles and stories hiding under all that neon.

For now, a huge thank-you to Dana and the American Sign Museum for supporting Nati Know-It-All.

More Cincinnati history. More trivia. More neon. Everybody wins. 😎
See you in October!

I had the honor today of helping my really good friend Zachary Holman buy his very first home! 🏡

And let me tell you—this was NOT an easy one.

We fought tooth & nail through multiple offers to get this house, but in the end, it was absolutely worth it. We landed a really sweet home, we’re happy with the condition, the appraisal came in where we needed it, and somehow, we got this thing across the finish line.

Zach and I go way back, too. We were part of the crew responsible for helping turn Fountain Square into a pretty damn great music destination back in the day. We’ve shared a lot of shows, stories, and adventures over the years, so getting to be part of this particular milestone was pretty special.

And a big shout-out to one of my besties, Rachel Kasle for helping make it all happen.

Most importantly, CONGRATS to Zach and Amy! 🍾🔑

I’m honored I got to be part of this one.

Cheers to the new house—and the next chapter!

Yesterday’s birthday was exactly how I wanted it—no giant party, no inflatable tube men, no rented llamas (next year lol🤣)... just a small gathering with some great people.

I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who called, texted, posted, or reached out. I spent a good chunk of the day smiling at my phone.

One thing I’ve realized over the years is just how lucky I am. Somehow, I’ve managed to surround myself with some of the funniest, smartest, kindest, weirdest, and most wonderfully eclectic people imaginable. Honestly, my friend group looks like the cast list from a Wes Anderson film—but somehow it works.

So, thank you for making another birthday one I’ll remember. I’m grateful for every one of you.

Now... back to pretending I’m not a broken old man . 🎂🍻

Big congratulations to my buddy Roth on closing on his new condo today!

I’ve known Roth for years through my trivia community, and he’s one of those people who’s always showing up to support others. I’m pretty sure he’s been to every single Nati Know-It-All event I’ve hosted, and that kind of loyalty never goes unnoticed.

When he’s not testing his knowledge at trivia, he’s part of the incredible medical team at UC, helping make a difference every day there too.

Massive honor to help him find an awesome condo at Grasmoor in Hyde Park, and I couldn’t be happier for him as he starts this next chapter.

Thanks for letting you hit this big milestone, my friend. Can’t wait to see what you do with the new place!

🏡 Congrats 🏒

PENDING:

A Westwood Mini-Mansion Is Ready for Its Next Chapter

I’m excited to share that my client’s offer has been accepted on one of Westwood’s most intriguing historic homes—and calling it a “house” feels like an true understatement.

Built in 1907, this 4,100-square-foot beauty features six fireplaces, stained-glass windows, pocket doors, gorgeous natural woodwork, built-in benches, front and back staircases—and, because stairs apparently weren’t fancy enough, an elevator running from the basement to the second floor.

Even more remarkable, the home has reportedly remained in the same family since 1945. That’s more than 80 years of history under one roof.

The architecture appears to blend Queen Anne and Colonial Revival influences, but we hopes to connect with Cincinnati historians and preservation experts & my The ‘Nati Know-It-All connections to uncover more of its true story.

If everything continues smoothly through closing, my client plans to carefully restore this mini-mansion’s historic beauty and prepare it for another century of life.

I’m looking forward to sharing more as we uncover its history and this incredible Westwood home begins its next chapter.

Congrats to my buyer!

“I believe it’s time for me to fly…” – REO Speedwagon

Hello folks—

I’m headed to Charleston next week… which feels slightly suspicious because I don’t remember applying for “that important person who gets invited to things,” but here we are.
I’ve been selected, along with a small group of great agents, to attend the Unite Conference in South Carolina.

It’s a solid opportunity—smart people, big ideas, and a look at where real estate is going (especially now that AI is trying to learn our jobs faster than we did).

I don’t take this lightly. I’m grateful my brokerage thought enough of my work to send me, and even more grateful for the clients and friends who keep trusting me, referring me, and keeping this whole thing moving. That part never gets lost on me and here for you 24/7

The goal is simple: come back sharper, more informed, and better at what I do for you.

Now… actually finding the time to do all that? That’s where things get a little messy.

I’ll be out for a few weekdays, but my peeps Eadgar & Kari who will be holding things down if anything pops up. You’re not getting ghosted—I’ve just temporarily upgraded my location.

Then I’ll be back, jumping straight into two listings going live next week and a handful of new clients I need to connect the dots for… because apparently, I thrive in chaos.

Special thanks to my lovely wife Zanna for holding down the fort (two forts !) and taking care of our 4 cra-cra cats.
