Exciting News for the Midwest Region

From the CCIM Institute's CIRE Magazine - March April 2010 edition:

"The Best City for Business
Des Moines, Iowa, outranked 100 other
metros with populations above 500,000,
according to MarketWatch’s 2009 year-end
survey. The city outscored second-place
Washington, D.C., as well as the remaining
top five: Omaha, Neb., Minneapolis-St. Paul,
and Boston. Des Moines’ low unemployment
and strong economic fundamentals boosted
its rating. For the complete list and metrics

Business in this region is doing well. I am licesnsed in both Nebraska and Iowa, and can assist you in all areas of relocating a business or starting up a new company.

Nebraska Economics vs. National Picture

I just spent the past several days at the RE/MAX International convention in Orlando. There were numerous speakers there covering various aspects of the economy, real estate sales volumes, and the declining prices of real estate. Some market areas have been devastated by the local economy and real estate market and the only transactions are short sales and foreclosures. While Nebraska has seen a decline of around ten to twelve percent on real estate prices, sales remain brisk, and we have not been faced with the onslaught of short sales. The good news to property owners in Nebraska is that true investment properties that are showing good cash flow and are not distressed are beinng sought by out of state investors. Many of these investors have cash for transactions or the ability to create financing terms to make deals happen. Whether you own investment property or would like to explore purchasing investment property, I would like the chance to meet with you and discuss your individual situation.
