Looking forward to another Iowa vs. Penn State football game at Kinnick Stadium tonight

University of Iowa football is an event in Eastern Iowa. Of course, there are friends that would also suggest Ames (Iowa State), Cedar Rapids (Coe) and Cedar Falls (UNI).

It's Homecoming on Saturday night and the Hawkeyes look to take the Penn State series on the +1 side, as both teams open Big Ten play for 2010.

We invite you to contact us regarding your real estate needs this Autumn. You can visit our web site for more information.

Hello and Happy New Year: Real Estate, Resolutions and one big bowl game this week!

We We want to welcome you to Tommy Tucker Realty Co., Realtors® of Cedar Rapids, Iowa and our blog in 2010 ...

Our company was founded by IL 'Tommy' Tucker in 1958. Tommy has achieved Realtor® Emeritus status with the National Association of Realtors. We had the pleasure to speak with Vicki Cox Golder, 2010 NAR President, recently about a nice visit Ms. Golder had with Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa at the most recent NAR Convention.

Tommy has always been very community oriented, active at the local, State and Federal level in industry and as a Rotarian has always practiced the principal of "Service Above Self."

Senator Grassley told a story about his 1980 campaign. At the time, Chuck didn't know that Vicki already knew Tommy. It was nice to hear about the story from both Tommy and Vicki's points of view. It is a small world.

Robin Tucker, Tommy's youngest son, had the pleasure of joining his father in business in 1988. Robin worked a year and half in public accounting, before returning to Cedar Rapids 22 years ago to become controller for Tommy. Robin became licensed in real estate and today is the Broker/Officer for Tommy Tucker Realty and a Realtor. Robin is a third generation member of the Rotary Club of Cedar Rapids, following his father and his paternal grandfather.

We want to invite you to contact us in 2010 to discuss your real estate and property management needs. Feel free to visit our web site at http://www.ttrco.com/ or search for properties for sale on the MLS. If you are looking for a Rental House in the Cedar Rapids area, click here.

We want to wish you a Happy New Year and wish you the very best in 2010.

On Tuesday, many throughout the State of Iowa, will turn into the 2010 FedEx Orange Bowl from Miami, Florida. The Iowa Hawkeyes (10-2 in 2009) will seek their first BCS bowl win, after two Rose Bowl wins and ten other bowl victories in the program's history. Robin and Tommy were at the 2003 Orange Bowl, when USC beat Iowa 38-17, after a sluggish 10-10 game at halftime for the Hawkeyes.

Publisher Phil Steele had this to say about Iowa's opponent, Georgia Tech (10-2, ACC champion in 2009) in the preseason...

"Tech showed last year that they could play with anyone knocking off three
ranked teams and that was the first year of HC Paul Johnson's (offensive, etc.)
systems. They have 18 starters back and will have one of the top offenses
in the FBS." - Phil Steele

Further, we want to say congratulations to the Iowa State Cyclones (7-6 in 2009), who won the 2009 Insight.com Bowl, when they defeated the Minnesota Golden Gophers 14-13 on New Year's Eve, to pick up their first bowl win, since the 2000 Insight.com Bowl win over Pitt.

Finally, what are your housing resolutions in 2010?

PDF Flyer on Homebuyer Tax Credit that has been extended through April 30, 2010 and expanded to all home buyers.

Through April 30, 2010, national campaign messages will educate consumers about
the extended and expanded home buyer tax credit and urge consumers to contact a
REALTOR® to help them realize their dreams of homeownership. - NAR

The First Round of the NCAA Tournament begins today

It's March Madness time! The NCAAs are upon us and many of you hopefully have your brackets filled out.

Robin Tucker had the pleasure of attending an Universality of Memphis Executive Education for the Global Leader course back in September 2006 in St. Louis, MO. It was a collaboration between FedEx Human Resource Development Department and the Wang Center of International Business at The University of Memphis.

So, here's my final pick for 2009:

The University of Memphis Tigers

Other Final Four teams:

UNC, Louisville and Villanova

My alma mater, Creighton University was a final bubble team this year. They will play in the second round of the NIT vs. the University of Kentucky on Monday night. Not quite the same.

The University of Iowa, Iowa State University and Drake University all came up short this year.

We do want to wish our daughter's school the very best in the NCAA Tournament. The University of Northern Iowa Panthers will face the Purdue Boilermakers in Portland, OR today. The Panthers will carry the torch for the MVC this season.
