QR Codes are Revolutionizing Real Estate What is a QR code?

A QR or Quick Response code, also known as a 2D barcode, gives users information on their smart phone or cell phone in an instant. In the simplest sense, think print-based link to web.

If you see these QR codes, you take a photo through an application on your smart phone or cell phone, the program analyzes or scans the barcode, and it asks if you’d like to be redirected to a web address/URL.

Can I use QR codes on my phone?

Because this technology is relatively new, there is no standard program or application for you to use. iPhones® and BlackBerrys® accommodate QR scanning applications quite easily and have very inexpensive (or even free) downloads available from their respective application stores.

Even some cell phones allow it.

Go to this website to see if your smart phone is compatible and to download code reader software to get started with QR Codes. www.mobile-barcodes.com/qr-code-software.

Meadowbrook Builders, LLC is a local custom home builder. Cliff McClure, Dave Casady and Matt McClure (see above) have over 50 years combined experience in construction and real estate in the Des Moines area. Meadowbrook started in 2007 when the three saw a need to provide custom entry level homes.

“All of our homes are designed to fit your budget. We build with pride and an eye for the latest techniques and materials that will produce the best possible homes at a price that is right for you. We understand how to create value, through unique floor plans, inviting interiors, and energy efficient designs,” said McClure.

Meadowbrook Homes uses an “al a carte” approach to building homes. Buyers can choose a standard home or go completely custom by choosing from wide variety of different selections to make their home uniquely theirs.

All Meadowbrook Homes begin with an energy-efficient plan that exceeds five star energy requirements and include features such as low E glass windows, sealed duct work, 92% efficient Lennox furnace & 14 seer AC, power vent hot water heater, fresh air ventilation system and micro controller, R-38 attic insulation, sealed wall penetrations, programmable thermostat and more.

A third party energy consultant is hired to inspect and test each home and then certifies the home to meet or exceed the energy five star requirements.

“We build a variety of homes - from our standard homes, to our semi-custom where we take an existing house plan and modify it for a specific family in mind creating the highest and best use of space and features for their life style,” said McClure.

“Working with Kim and Meadowbrook has been a very good experience.

I think it is safe to say that Kim and Meadowbrook genuinely care about the PEOPLE they are helping. It is more than helping someone buy a house it is helping them find a HOME. I will refer everyone I know looking to buy or build to Kim and Meadowbrook!”

“We also do completely custom homes where a buyer can request everything inside and out including universal designs and features, handicap accessibility including adding an elevator or such items as walk out lower levels and a four car garage.”

Interior features vary but they can expect a generous floor covering, light fixture and trim allowance and a variety of kitchen cabinet options and more.

Realtor® Kim Layland is an agent for Meadowbrook Homes. With over 25 years of real estate and customer service experience, Layland’s main focus is new construction. She comes from a construction background which is why she was excited to form a partnership with Meadowbrook.

The Family Tradition

Radius:

Dan said father Gene Stanbrough introduced new methods of marketing real estate to the city, sponsoring the first television show in the early 1960s dedicated to showcasing available real estate offerings.

Search

Gene was the first realtor to open a "branch" office in the city, and we were the first to market available real estate through color tabloids.

Stanbrough Realty, with its distinctive gold signs and black lettering was a family-operated enterprise through the 1960s and early 1970s playing a part in Des Moines' great comeback era of the late 1970s and 1980s. And through the family name has been in the real estate market ever since the start on New Years Day 1960, the name itself is undergoing a renaissance as a business icon.

Stanbrough Realty changed its name to First Realty in 1983, with Dan as president, grew to 700 sales associates in 60 offices; the family company was later merged into a regional financial institution.

"In 2001, my two sons were in their early 20s and interested and already both investing and building. We decided to bring the family name back into the market, something people hadn't seen in many years. I was encouraged to see how much familiarity our name still had in the community as a real estate company." Gold and black is back!

The ‘Little Town With a Big Heart’ Cumming, Iowa, the “Little Town with a Big Heart”, is thinking big.

The city has announced their new comprehensive plan for development and infrastructure improvements to get the city ready for major development.

“Our comprehensive planning this coming year will set in motion 10 years of growth and create a magnificent small town unlike any in the state of Iowa,” said architect and urban planner William J. Ludwig. “Cumming will establish a lifestyle that families are so longing for.”

Ludwig has led town planning and land development in metropolitan Des Moines for over 30 years. He has master planned developments such as Green Meadows and Birchwood Crossing in Johnston, Copper Creek and Edgewater in Pleasant Hill and many West Des Moines developments including West Lakes and Glen Oaks.

His “action planning” in Johnston, Waukee’s Alice’s Road and Ankeny’s Prairie Trail have guided longrange growth in Des Moines and he is continuing the tradition in Cumming.

“What we are doing today and in the next three months in Cumming will influence a surge in development spring 2012,” said Ludwig. g, Architect/Urban Planner, has led town planning pment inCumming metropolitan Des Moines over 30just years. is a perfect smallfor town but five minutes planned Green Birchwood Crossing in in Iowa away Meadows from the and largest shopping district er Creekand and over edgewater Pleasant Venbury 60,000injobs.

Also, Hill, Cumming has a natural in Altoona, Legacy orchard and Hillsaand Valley in rolling topography newecho I-35 Interchange under ost areas of West Des Moines including Sun Prairie, construction.

West Lakes, town Center, and Glen oaks. His ” in Johnston, Waukee’s Alice’s Road, and Ankeny’s e guided long range growth in most Des Moines

According to Shelley, phase one includes developing sewer systems on the northeast side of town and across G14 and phase two and three will bring new systems to the old, original town to Interstate 35.

The town will also include a new town center on the south side of G14 but the main focus is residential development.

“With all the jobs so close in West Des Moines,” said Shelley. “Cumming will be a great commuter town.”

Already, many businesses have taken advantage of Cumming’s high quality of life by relocating to the area. The Chicago and Western Railroad’s old tracks were converted into one of the finest paved bike trails in Iowa - The Great Western/Bill Riley Bike Trail and a number of housing developments have been built, both spurring the growth of the community.

The City of Cumming, Iowa was formally established October 26, 1888 and the original survey consisted of two blocks, containing 24 lots. But by 1893, the Town of Cumming consisted of fourteen blocks and 125 lots.

By 1908, the town had grown to include two general stores, three churches, a bank, a physician/drug store, one blacksmith, a barber shop, harness shop, feed mill, meat market, ice house, hardware/implement store, lumberyard and post office. There were approximately 20 -30 families in the town itself with numerous farmers supporting the local businesses.

The past quarter century has seen a wide variety of changes but rather than fade away, Cumming has seen a revitalization as the Des Moines Metropolitan region has grown.

Cumming’s growth statistics are eye-popping - it is fifth in Iowa and second in the Metro for growth.

The huge growth of Cumming and its proximity to West Des Moines prompted this residential development push.

“We started with town meetings to get the community involved,” said fourth-year Cumming councilmember Skip Shelley. “Everyone was very excited and supportive but they wanted to make sure it was all done at a pace the town could handle. We wanted to do the developing in a controlled manner and still maintain our identity.”

In order to not lose Cumming to West Des Moines, the town has started phase one of construction which includes developing new sewer systems and using the systems as an annexation tool and “bargaining chip” for landowners.

Landowner Joann McDonald (MJM Trust) has combined efforts with Dorrance Brezina and Developers Realty Group to develop Splendid Acres - Warren County’s 80 acre premier residential area.

Splendid Acres lies just seven miles south of Highway 92 on the paved R-57 and adjacent to Warren County Conservation District land. There are over 20 lots for sale each with two to four acres.

Splendid Acres also features two ponds, wooded areas with wildlife habitat and great views.

A ranch-style home at Splendid Acres is a minimum of 1500 square feet and 2000 square feet for a two-story home. Walkouts are available, outbuildings are welcome and each home has at least a two-car garage. The homes are part of the Indianola school district and on the bus route.

“Splendid Acres is a village-type development that gives people modern benefits like roadways, schools and water,” Dorrance Brezina said. “But in two to three acre parcels where there is a strong sense of community along with a strong sense of space.”

Lots can be combined for multi-purpose uses up to ten acres and with a robust spring market just around the corner they are offering huge price reductions.

“We have already been seeing a lot of sales and expansion but we want to encourage building and developing rural Warren County even more to stimulate the market and bring activity level up with this huge spring lot price special,” said Brezina.

“Customer relations are very important to me and, in general, I like working with people,” said Layland. “I am industrious and like devising an approach to help owners get their existing house sold and then enjoy the challenge of finding just the perfect location for them to call home.”

“Kim came highly recommended to us when it came time to sell our home. She was easy to work with and really knew a lot about real estate.”

- Jeremy, Urbandale

Most of Layland’s clients come from referrals because of the fact she is so customer-oriented which is something that she has carried over to her work with Meadowbrook.

“The home buying and building process can be daunting and I want to make the experience as enjoyable and exciting as possible,” said Layland.

Layland is also a firm believer in continuing professional development.

She is involved in the Home Builders Association as well as Professional Women in Building. Layland is also part of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), Iowa Association of Realtors (IAR) and Des Moines Area Association of Realtors (DMAAR).

“I take as many classes as possible because real estate is an ever-changing business and I want to keep in tune with the market and to be helpful to the buyer so I make education an important priority as part of my business,” said Layland.

Her voraciousness for education has lead her to obtain a CRS (Certified Residential Specialist Designee), GRI (Graduate Realtor Institute Designee) and a CDPE (Certified Distressed Property Expert) which makes her able to deal with short sales and foreclosures. And recently, Layland obtained her CSP (Certified new homes Sales Professional) and CAPS (Certified Aging-in-Place Professional) I and II.
