Quick note to all my readers and all the Storm Lake and Alta, Iowa locals. I have had a very busy week showing properties, attending a closing for a great couple from Colorado - Stacey and Alan Schlechten, negotiating a commercial building purchase, analyzing a couple of income properties for an investor and finished it up having great fun helping mud the drywall in the new basement of a wonderful couple of friends - Brad and Cindy Pedersen with a bunch of other friends - John Hase, Joyce Rydstrom, Matt Younie, Gary Launderville, Ronnie (you know my husband), sorry if I missed anyone.

Soon, many of you will receive my new real estate newsletter, "Your Home Newsletter", yeah I know not too original but it gets to the point, kind of like me. 

One thing to keep in mind all you newly weds, college graduates, mid 20's, late 20's, you get the point, if you have been thinking about buying or selling a property now is the time.  Interest rates are rock bottom, many below 5% and on top of that if you are a first time home buyer you may qualify for up to $8,000 in tax credit! Call me, let me help you get into that home you've been longing for - we have a lot of great new homes on the market and new coming on everyday. OK, I'm beat, it's snowing sideways and it's forecast to snow 6-10 inches and we have a real blizzard warning till 1 tomorrow afternoon, I'm packing it in for the night.
