🧌 Okay Clinton…you’ve officially convinced me that you’re a little more magical than the average Iowa town.

Have you discovered The Great Troll Hunt yet?!

Clinton is home to some GIANT trolls created by Danish artist Thomas Dambo—and they are seriously worth the adventure. These larger-than-life characters are tucked around the community, giving you an excuse to explore, take some ridiculous pictures, and say, “Yep…there’s a 20-foot troll in Clinton.” 😂

And as a REALTOR®, I’m always telling people that where you live is about more than the four walls of your house.

It’s the parks.
The trails.
The river.
The quirky little hidden gems.
The things that make your kids say, “Can we go see the giant troll again?” 🤣

Those are the things that make a community feel like home. ❤️

So if you haven’t been on the Clinton Troll Hunt yet, consider this your sign!

And if you’re looking for a home in a community with a little personality…well, I know a REALTOR® who can help with that. 😉🏡

So, you find a house you love, yay!!!… and then you look at the price and think, “Okayyy… so how exactly am I supposed to pay for this?” 😂

That’s where a mortgage comes in.

Most buyers borrow the money they need from a bank or lender to purchase their home. That borrowed money is called a mortgage, and you pay it back over time—plus interest.

Basically, the bank helps you buy the house now, and you pay them back over time. 🏡💰

If you or someone you know is interested in buying or selling a home, I would love to help!

Can This Home Adapt to Your Future Needs?
When visiting a property, it's important to think beyond the upgrades and ask yourself if this floor plan will still suit your needs five, 10, even 20 years from now. Needs change with age, or when multigenerational families come together, or even if a loved one finds that stairs are just too much to...

What to Repair Before Listing Your House
Making a home ready to be listed for sale isn't always a matter of large-scale improvements. It is, more often than not, a matter of a few key repairs that will make all the difference, while a handful of less important fixes will wait. Here's how to determine which is which.
Begin With What Turns Off...
