Grimes, Iowa - a community that combines the best of both worlds.

Grimes is located in the Greater Des Moines Metro area, but retains the charm and character of a small town while offering access to the services and conveniences of a much larger community.

Because of its prime location at the interchange of Highway 141 and Interstates 80 and 35, Grimes has great transportation to anywhere you want to go, whether in the Metro or anywhere in the country.

Grimes is full of shopping, dining and entertainment experiences and just minutes away from even more.

Whether you’re searching for a great place to live, a profitable business location, or both, Grimes has everything a family and company needs.

So take a closer look at Grimes. We think you’ll agree that it’s the perfect mix of big city and small town.

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.

Protect, Educate and Serve Showplace Builders announces their “Protect, Educate and Serve” program.

Showplace Builders’ Protect, Educate and Serve program builds a limited number of new homes per year to be sold at cost to central Iowa law enforcement officers, fire fighters, teachers and those who are serving in the United States military.

“This program offers affordable new home construction to those who protect our communities, keep us safe, educate our children and preserve our freedom,” said Bill Spencer, President of Showplace Builders.

14

In addition to building the homes at cost, Showplace Builders’ preferred lender will provide financing with no closing costs or origination fees to qualified purchasers as a part of this program.

“There will be no profit to Showplace Builders,” Spencer said.

Protect, Educate and Serve program participants only pay for the actual costs associated with the construction of the home, as well as the general overhead expenses

Tim and Kinzee Bryte are among the first to enjoy the benefit of the program.

Also because of the savings the Brytes are getting a lot more for their money.

Kinzee is a school counselor for the Waukee School District. Kinzee first heard of the program through an email from the school’s HR department.

“We are now able to do a covered deck, a threecar garage and a finished basement,” Kinzee continues, “Lots of extras we could’ve never afforded without the program.”

“It seemed like a great opportunity for the future but when our house sold we decided to go for it,” Kinzee said.

The Brytes have closed on their lot and are in the process of finalizing their home plans in order to start construction.

The couple decided to build in Adel’s Evans View development, also taking advantage of Adel’s seven-year tax abatement.

“With the combination of the Protect, Educate and Serve program and the tax abatement we will save 10’s of thousands of dollars,” Kinzee said.

Protect, Educate and Serve program participants only pay for the actual costs associated with the construction of the home, as well as the general overhead expenses.

Individuals who qualify for the Protect, Educate and Serve Program include: • law enforcement officers for a city police department, county sheriff’s office or state highway patrol • fire fighter for a city fire department • teacher or school administrator for a school district • active service member for one of the branches of the United States military The participants must also intend to live in the home and qualify for financing or otherwise provide proof of financial ability.

Final approval of the qualified purchaser will require execution of a purchase agreement and a written commitment for financing.

For more information f about b the h “Protect, “ Educate d and Serve” program, please contact Angela Hutton (515-986-3557) or Bill Spencer (515-202-2345) at Showplace Builders.

Showplace Builders reserves the right to discontinue, cancel or suspend this program at any time without notice. This program is limited to homes to be constructed in Polk, Dallas, Warren, Madison and Story Counties.
