Essentially business is good, houses are listing and selling. If you would like to sell, now is the time to get your property out in front of buyers, there are (6 comments)

storm lake: Avian Flu and Real Estate in Iowa and Minnesota
- 06/05/15 04:22 AM
Seems like selling real estate and the Avian Flu couldn't be further from each other. But, there's a link and it is not a good one. My brokerage is in the middle of the avian flu oubreak in Iowa. We are beginning to feel the hurt from people being laid off at the plants, truck drivers and farm workers are experiencing reduced hours or are being laid off. Three weeks ago we lost a sale becaause the buyer was a truck driver, he had just had his hours drastically reduced, he could not qualify for his loan. We are also seeing people who (2 comments)

storm lake: Satisfactory Home Inspection Contingency
- 03/06/14 08:04 AM
General catch all contingencies like "purchase subject to a satisfactory home inspection" are really poor ways to help the buyers or sellers in a transaction. A buyer can walk for anything noted on the inspection. I believe ALL buyers should have a home inspection, but how do you word that contingency so that it is fair to both parties? (2 comments)
If yoiu would like more information on our modular homes call me, Georgia Weaver at 712-291-0118. There are 33 All AMerican Modular Homes within 15 miles of Storm Lake.
Pricing homes is difficult, where we recommend a seller lists a home is not our opinion of the worth of the property, it is the current market's valuation of the property. It is a scientific analysis that is produced by a CMA and an REALTOR Property Resource report, we stay as close to our local appraisers valuations and adjustments as possible. We are usually within $2,000 of the final bank appraisal amount. Our track record helps, (0 comments)

storm lake: Tiny Home Information
- 09/16/13 02:56 AM
I am interested in learning more about the Tiny Home movement, I have been to many websites and would like to connect with other REALTORS who have experience with these homes. The homes are under 800 sq ft, our area has an extremely critical shortage of rental housing, accessible housing, elderly housing, and first time homes. Does anyone know of or have experience with any companies that build tiny quality modulars that are affordable? I have researched the Katrina Cottages and like the idea but don't like many of the plans. I would be very interested in an open floor plan (0 comments)

I have a few questions for the REALTORS out there who are also Exclusive Listing Realtors for a modular home company or builder.

The modular homes are built through Storm Lake Custom Homes, which is a separate company. Storm Lake Custom Homes represents All American Modular Homes. Most of the modular homes are not sold through the MLS, as they are custom built specifically for (4 comments)
storm lake: Storm Lake IA Real Estate Market Going Strong!
- 09/16/13 02:32 AM
Georgia Weaver here in Storm Lake, IA, that's north west Iowa. Over the last 3 weeks I have closed on many properties, including a 5 property domino, written and got accepted 6 offers, wrote 1 that didn't get accepted and have 2 currently in negotiations. Is this what others in Iowa are seeing? Do you think it is somewhat a response to the mortgage interest rate trending up, the economy (we are very rural, and farm income is staying high for the past 5 years). I have also seen an increase in commercial investors and new construction. I am a (0 comments)

storm lake: What I would love to have in a website - check out the AR Contest
- 05/13/13 04:23 AM
I have had several websites over the last 8 years, homes.com, point 2, and one I built myself on Homestead. All are expensive, take a lot of time and for the most part other than the one I built myself they all look cookie cutter. I was very concerned about the "Ownership of my material" on Homes.com, and copyright problems. Having said that, I would love to have a website that is internet and mobile friendly, easy to update, one that works like my Ipad with apps - so much easier to navigate than the Microsoft based systems, I would like (1 comments)
storm lake: Houston We Have A Problem - Consensual Dual Agency in Iowa
- 04/11/13 01:11 AM
Weaver Realtors Broker here, struggling to educate the public on the importance of representation in a real estate transaction. Here in Iowa, Consensual Dual Agency is legal, alive and thriving. However, it is doing so at the expense of fairly and honestly representing clients. In a consensual dual agency transaction where one agent represents both the buyer and the seller, who exactly is the agent representing? The agent cannot give either side preference, so the agent cannot make any recommendations as to how to counter, what to offer (doing a cma for Buyer?), how to negotiate, ..... Who do you best represent if (5 comments)

As the broker how do you work with your agents within this type of agency, for example how do you determine who the appointed agent is for each side of the transaction? I would like to (1 comments)
