      We are open and located next door to the Witwer Center in the 600 Block of 2Nd Avenue East in Cedar Rapids

      It's nice to see the winds settle down and the snow head to the East Coast, after the past two days of a Major Winter Storm in Cedar Rapids and much of the Midwest. Schools in much of Eastern Iowa are still closed for the third straight day, as the temperatures plunge.

      Eastern Iowa Breaking News headline: "IOWANS DIG OUT; CHILL SETS IN"

      Get the latest details here from The Gazette and KCRG:


      Tommy Tucker Realty Co. is celebrating its 40Th anniversary at our current location in the 600 Block of 2Nd Avenue SE in Downtown Cedar Rapids this year. We opened in 1958 in Real Estate, but located to our current location at 613 2Nd Avenue SE in 1969. We have seen changes in our neighborhood throughout the past 40 years. This year, we welcomed a new neighbor.

      Spotlight on a Community Organization, which also happens to be a neighbor to Tommy Tucker Realty Co.



      In February of this year, the Witwer Center reopened next door at 605 2Nd Avenue SE to serve the seniors in our community. There previous location in the Central District of Downtown Cedar Rapids was flooded in the Flood of 2008. They have senior adult programming, a noon meal for seniors, as well as the Witwer home delivered meals program operated out of the 605 2Nd Avenue SE location.

      We took a little time to visit and welcomed our new neighbors to our neighborhood. We had the pleasure of visiting with Myrt Bowers, President, and others on her staff with the Witwer Center. They shared a little about their operations. Witwer provides senior adult services and meals to a variety of senior residents throughout Linn County.

      At the same location, the Green Square Meals program operates in the evenings to help those in need in our community. The Green Square Meals program is a separate organization that serves the Cedar Rapids Community. Green Square Meals also had to be relocated, after the Flood of 2008.

      Two new items impacting Real Estate Laws in the State of Iowa

      We received the following notice on two changes in Iowa real estate law.

      The Iowa Supreme Court struck down an Iowa Law relating to Landlords and Property Managers evicting their tenants. Please see the first section below. Additionally, a new radon disclosure requirement will be necessary beginning December 23, 2009. See the second section below.

      New Eviction Requirements

      Landlords/Property Managers -- Notice to evict requirements!
      Certified Mail to notify of eviction under Iowa code 562A.29A(2) - (Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Law) - has been deemed unconstitutional by the Iowa Supreme Court (War Eagle Village Apartments vs. Plummer). Effective immediately landlords should follow other methods "reasonably calculated" to reach the intended recipients. Personal service seems to be the only method now currently allowed to ensure an eviction proceeding does not get dismissed on a technicality. Other methods of notice are available, but have more hoops to climb through. The IAR Legislative committee will look at ways to include other methods to deliver notices which may meet the "reasonably calculated" requirements of the court opinion.

      New Radon Disclosure Requirement

      The new Radon Disclosure requirement is scheduled to go into effect December 23, 2009.
      The Iowa Administrative Rule will become effective for all transactions on December 23, 2009. As the Iowa property condition report form must be accurate prior to or at the time a purchase contact becomes binding, it is a good idea to immediately have the sellers become familiar with and utilize the Fact Sheet and the disclosure requirement. Buyers will have to acknowledge they have received the Fact Sheet. There is no requirement that REALTORS® or agents sign off on any radon disclosure. This law is similar to the lead based paint requirements, but without the real estate licensee having verification responsibilities that the requirements have been met.

      Click here (IAR password required) to download the new IAR Seller Disclosure of Property Condition form.
      The Radon Fact Sheet is created by and available for download by the Iowa Department of Public Health.
      http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102847186144&s=8136&e=001i0aX3S_LPCjtD352MZEt7zcW_uG0Ii1OgCiPxRtBUpTGRUHIvlxMzAdjsHnGgDLUc00st5eIhWGalpCkXbJS_osS5slpy0Sk4N2loJT_6EAhXPVqPldeNcqZwJPYNOSLZB5eIMcGBBV40A2_aKlmeWMOY0hSZUEfSM-ASOpWFDX6HSbF0O3fWc1ouO6WifZd . It is also available linked from the IAR website.

      Have a great Thanksgiving Holiday! Note our offices are closed Thanksgiving and Friday, November 27Th. We will resume normal office hours on Monday, November 30Th at 8:30 a.m.

      Today's Speaker and Program:


      The seven Cedar Rapids Metro area Rotary clubs will join together to hold a luncheon to build public awareness for polio and to raise money to help eradicate polio one and for all. Doug Oberman (read more below), a successful Waterloo lawyer and international speaker on polio will share his inspiring life story and the impact polio has had on his life.

      Many of us know someone who had a brush with the crippling disease which mainly
      strikes children. But Rotarian Doug Oberman of Cedar Falls has a very
      personal experience. Doug was a normally active boy until one day
      when he was eight. Polio robbed him of the use of his hands and arms, but
      not his spirit. Although Doug has slept in an iron lung for over 50 years,
      he graduated from college and law school and had a successful law practice for
      29 years.

      In 2002 Rotary asked Doug to travel to Barcelona,
      Spain to address its international convention. Although the ordeal of
      getting his iron lung onto the place was replayed four times, he made it and was
      the hit of the event. Later he traveled to Rotary meetings in Cleveland
      and Windsor, Canada where he gave powerful presentations about his passion
      for making polio only the second disease ever eradicated.

      Great News for Home Buyers with Extention and Expansion of Home Buyer Credit


      We received the following E-mail recently from the Realtor® Action Center

      Dear Robin,

      You did it. You’ve succeeded in achieving a huge victory for real estate. Congress heard you on the need to both extend and expand the homebuyer tax credit to continue stimulating the housing sector of the economy. The Senate voted 98-0 on Wednesday and yesterday the House voted 403-12 on legislation that includes the extension and expansion of the credit. The President is expected to sign the legislation, perhaps as early as today.

      Thank you for making this victory happen. Your letters in response to our Call for Action made a very big difference, as did the thousands of REALTOR® phone calls, visits by Federal Political Coordinators—all members of NAR—in getting this legislation passed. This is a great victory for the economy, for homebuyers, and for all of you in real estate. You made your case to Congress. We deeply appreciate your commitment and involvement on this issue and trust your continued support will follow in the weeks ahead on all our future Calls for Action.

      More information on the tax credit and what it means to you:
