Despite having been immediately blasted last week by an anonymous poster for being, “God, you are such a realtor” for saying last week’s GDoN-R was a good deal, I am, without reservation, calling this week’s GDoN-R, a Good Deal. (And yes, I am a card carrying member of the National Association of Realtors.)
I have actual firsthand knowledge of this property. I’ve been in it several times and represented a Purchaser in writing an offer back in December. The listing agent was inundated with ten offers on this property and my client didn’t win the bid. This was a rare find being listed under $300k, in quite livable condition, and within blocks of Metro, the Sexy Safeway, Chinatown, and Penn Quarter.
The property re-surfaced back in early February when the previous contract holder backed out. Having spent the interim looking at everything else was available in that price range, my client decided it made sense to go after the property more aggressively this time and we wrote a much higher offer. Again, it drew multiple offers and this time it looked like we were at the top of the pile. At the last minute, however, another one came in and bumped us out.
That client is happily under contract on another property, however, he’ll be doing a lot more work than he would have had to with this one.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
