cedar rapids real estate: Getting results for great clients in Iowa!
- 05/16/18 06:47 PM
What a great two weeks in Iowa! Since moving to Phoenix in early 2015, we have sold 25 homes by referring my Iowa clients to other agents that I trust. This was the first time that I decided it was time to activate my Iowa license and help a few clients, personally! A few other agents wondered why I didn't join the other companies, that I used to work with. The simple truth is that their value just isn't there for what it costs to do business and they didn't care to support my plan to help agents with personal coaching. I … (0 comments)

cedar rapids real estate: Neighbor Found Lost Key in Snow – We SOLD the house!
- 01/21/11 04:29 AM
It was 9 degrees and dark on the front porch of the house. Two keys plopped into my frozen hand to open up the door. Before I could get a grip on them, one key dropped beneath me, bounced to the left & ended up in a snow pile. With no mark in the snow, we started to dig into the snow hoping for the best. After 10 minutes of freezing the hands, we decided to part for the evening due to the frigid temperatures
I decided to shed some light on the situation and pulled my car forward with … (4 comments)

cedar rapids real estate: I survived a Tornado as a child- A True Story
- 10/18/07 03:46 PM
It was My 4th, 1977. I was in the 5th grade in Fort Dodge, Iowa. It's hard to believe that something 30 years ago still lingers in my mind. It was a cold Wednesday night. A cold downpour pounded the earth. The rain added excitement to shooting baskets for two boys. As my friend and I continued to play, we soon noticed the rain had quickly stopped only to leave the sky filled with fast moving, dark clouds. We both noticed a fierce wind high in the sky in which the clouds seemed to fight one another. Sudddenly, sirens blared across the neighborhood, as if the … (2 comments)

If you are from Iowa or any small town you will love this movie! If you are from Arizona you will think it's as "corny" as Iowa. Is it a new "Field of Dreams?" No way. However, if you love sports movies, it's as refreshing as a fresh cold glass of lemonade on an open porch. It's sweet and and feels good. We like that feeling in Iowa don't we? What's wrong with that? Don't expect to be "moved" like you were in other sports movies that you have watched like "The Rookie," or "We are Marshall."These movies were different in everyway … (0 comments)
cedar rapids real estate: Cedar Rapids real estate...What Affects Your Credit Score?
- 10/18/07 01:26 PM
There are three types of debt that can be reported to a credit bureau: Mortgages,installment loans (cars, furniture) and revolving debt (credit cards) How you use and pay off this debt will affect your credit score. The best thing you can do for your credit score is to have a mortage and pay it on time. This shows that you are capable of having long term debt and paying it responsibly. It also counts more towards your credit history than a credit card because the amount of debt is higher and it carries more weight. Don't neglect your cards or installment loans, though. … (0 comments)

Have you ever received a handwritten thank-you note from a place where you decided to do business?

cedar rapids real estate: Little Slice of Heaven - IOWA!
- 10/10/07 03:13 PM
As I heard on the radio the other morning, "Iowa's just a little slice of heaven." The guys bantered back and forth about how fall is the best season. Our fall has been extremely warm, in the 80's that is, which is unseasonable warm for this time of the year. They went on to explain how winter is the reason why we don't have a huge population with the traffic, crime, etc. that larger cities have. That' s why we love it here! If you can make it, or tough it out, through the winter, Iowa is a great place to live or grow up!! … (0 comments)
