On the second Tuesday of every month our brokerage puts on a breakfast at the Hilton Garden Inn on 86th St in Johnston. The event is unique in that agents from all brokerages are encouraged to come and are welcomed at the venue. This week, in addition to Real Estate Concepts agents from Des Moines, West Des Moines, Altoona, Grimes and Newton we were honored to have guests from both Coldwell Banker and Iowa Realty among us.

About four and a half years ago my phone rang. Although it was after 10pm I picked up as much out of curiosity as anything else. It was a gentleman, Dave, calling from California. He was interested in investment property in the area and had found my name on the Internet. After a short interview I was hired. He'd already found the property he was interested in and just needed his own agent to look out for his interests. We negotiated an offer to his satisfaction and I helped him with selection of an inspector and lender. The property appraised, we closed, and he was very happy with the result. This summer I received a call from a family member of his in the area. This person was looking for a town home and had been given my name by Dave and urged to call me. I met with them and we looked... 10/11/2010
