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.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
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.

Thursday, Novmember 19, 2009: Joint Rotary Club meeting for Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Thursday, November 19, 2009
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. - Rotary West
