We went with Stewart Realty because that's who helped up buy our first home in town - Betty Brown, RIP. And owner Stew Stewart helped us purchase this house and sell our home on Prairie Street. So we have a good track record with Stewart Realty. I worked with Roger's wife Mary at First National Bank many years ago. Roger used to be a Creston police officer, and has been in real estate for many years now. He's a very nice guy.
To our good fortune, we ended up selling the house before all the federal hoops were completed - appraisals, inspections etc. Phew - what a whirlwind. Even though we accepted the buyer's offer, the feds are the ones who have to okay the financing. We think they did, but that's why I'm still being cautious about the whole thing...show me the money.
Now Pablo and I need to get busy with Marg Hull-Jackson, our realtor in DSM. We have looked at properties there just one full day. We do know now that we don't want an older house in DSM. I love that area, but want a ranch style home more. We like some places we looked at near the Jordan Creek area - a townhome and a new house. I'm not convinced Paul is ready to give up taking care of a yard altogether. It wouldn't bother me at all. We start living in town this week, so will be checking out more properties.
