In this episode of Go Gaddis Real Estate Radio, we start with our Neighborhood Spotlight on Whitlock Heights in Marietta. This charming community offers a unique blend of character, convenience, and curb appeal — and we’ll share what makes it stand out for today’s buyers and homeowners.
Then, we shift gears to talk about a topic that’s been making headlines — Ponzi schemes. You’ve probably heard the term tossed around in the news, but what exactly is a Ponzi scheme, and how can you recognize one before it’s too late?
I’ll walk you through the red flags to watch for, explain how these fraudulent operations work, and share why they’re so dangerous to unsuspecting investors. We’ll also discuss a recent high-profile case right here in Georgia, where a $140 million Ponzi scheme unraveled — a story that’s as alarming as it is important to understand.
This conversation was inspired by a listener question from Alex in Atlanta, who asked: “What is a Ponzi scheme and how does it work? Would I be able to spot one before it’s too late?” My goal is to give you the tools to answer that with confidence, so you can protect your finances from these kinds of scams.
As always, our mission on Go Gaddis Real Estate Radio is to help you go from real estate novice to expert — so buying and selling a home can be done with total confidence and without the worry that often comes with life’s biggest investments. We don’t want you to learn anything at or after closing that you should’ve learned before.
