It's snowing in Iowa! AGAIN!

Just got off the phone to my dad in England. He was out in a thin sweater today - sun is shining - 45 degrees. AND I am shoveling 7" of the white stuff! PLUS the extra 2 feet the city snow plough thought would be so funny to leave on my sidewalk!

I guess I can't complain too much about the city as I live on the same street as the City Administrator - our street gets ploughed before the main routes into town! At least today, the wind isn't blowing at minus 350 degrees! I can still feel my nose and my aging arthritic fingers are still holding together.

Calling ALL Builders!

The good years are over for a while. Conventional companies with conventional marketing tactics are struggling to keep up with the slowing market. Have you noticed that your real estate agent doesn't have answers for why your homes are not selling? Perhaps it's because they have never been in our industry during hard times? Perhaps they are "inside the box" with a conventional company?

We pride ourselves in our technology and marketing skills. We think outside the box. We know how to reach your potential clients. We are not owned by shareholders and therefore can spend where we need to spend.

Call Nigel today and let's talk about how we can help your business.
