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.

City of Adel Enacts a Residential 7 Year 100% Tax Abatement Just a few miles west on Highway 6, historic Adel offers beautiful small town living with the convenience of the Metro. And now, the City is giving future home builders an offer they can’t refuse. The City of Adel City Council has approved and enacted an Urban Revitalization Plan, commonly referred to as a tax abatement program, for residential revitalization within the City’s boundaries. The primary objectives of the Plan are to encourage new construction of, and remodeling and additions to, residential properties through abatement of taxes on the value of the improvements and to improve economic conditions and housing opportunities in the area and enhance the general attractiveness of the community.
For more information visit www.adeliowa.org or contact City Administrator Chad Bird (515) 993-4525. 12
Key benefits and points of the Plan include offering 100% abatement of taxes for seven years on improvements made during the 2011 calendar year; 100% abatement of taxes for five years on improvements made during the 2012 calendar year; and 100% abatement of taxes for three years on improvements made during the 2013 calendar year. The Plan also takes advantage of the recent trend in construction practices by incorporating a set of sustainable and green building practices aimed at improving the quality of construction in this growing community of 4,500. There are about 50 residential lots which are ready to build on and several historic homes just waiting to be restored to their former splendor.
Adel is a small town with lots to offer. Historic Adel, Iowa
Founded as the county seat, Adel was originally called Penoach and is the oldest community in Dallas County. Native American artifacts found in the area provide evidence of earlier residents including Sac and Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in whose language Penoach means “far away.” Adel’s Historic District is centered around the Dallas County Courthouse at 801 Court Street. The beautiful district comprises the downtown square and brick streets. Recently designated to the National Register of Historic Places, Adel is the only location to have registered both the buildings and roads as historical landmarks. During the summer of 2010, the City of Adel renovated the streets and is one of the only street projects in Iowa to reuse the authentic bricks. The Adel Historical Museum at 1129 Main Street built in 1857 contains eight rooms filled with artifacts from the history of Adel. Volunteers throughout the community help run the museum on Saturdays from May to September. Other times the museum may be toured by reservation by calling 993-1032. Other historic points of interest include Heisman Trophy winner Nile Kinnick’s boyhood home at 219 North 12th Street and former Iowa Governor George W. Clarke’s private residence at 207 North 15th Street.
Sweet Corn Festival: August 12-13, 2011
The Adel Sweet Corn Festival is held in downtown Adel Friday, August 12 through Saturday, August 13. Friday night kicks off with corn shucking, the official start of this 33 year Adel tradition. Saturday morning boasts the largest parade in Dallas County before enjoying your share of over seven tons of free sweet corn, performances by local entertainers, and one of a kind craft and food vendors. Then dance the night away at the Community Street Dance and Beer Garden. The historic Courthouse Square is the focal point of the Festival.
New Aquatic Center
Construction of the new Adel Family Aquatic Center is beginning soon! The Center will include diving boards, zero depth entry areas, 30 foot enclosed slide, tiger slide, floor geysers and sprays, lap lanes, concession area with tables and shade area, men’s, women’s and family restrooms and grass lounging areas.

Protect, Educate and Serve 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. 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. 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. “It seemed like a great opportunity for the future but when our house sold we decided to go for it,” Kinzee said. 16
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. Also because of the savings the Brytes are getting a lot more for their money. “We are now able to do a covered deck, a three-car garage and a finished basement,” Kinzee continues, “Lots of extras we could’ve never afforded without the program.” The Brytes have closed on their lot and are in the process of finalizing their home plans in order to start construction. 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.
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.
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. For more information about the “Protect, Educate and Serve” program, please contact Angela Hutton (515-986-3557) or Bill Spencer (515-202-2345) at Showplace Builders.

The Family Tradition

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.

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!
