Grateful to spend time this week in Des Moines at the Iowa REALTORS® Capitol Conference 🏛️

It was powerful to join REALTORS® from across Iowa to speak directly with legislators about expanding access to homeownership, protecting property rights, and working toward property tax relief for Iowa families.

When there’s a seat at the table, we’re proud to be there.

🥶 being this cold is no fun but because most of us will be inside our homes for the next couple of days be sure to check your exhaust pipes around the house. Make sure there are no blockages in those pipes. Be safe everyone!! 🧡🧡

Make sure your home is safe during this weekend's frigid temperatures. Snow and ice can block exhaust pipes, as shown in this photo, which can prevent carbon monoxide from venting properly. If your exhaust pipes look like this or are clogged in any way, clear them immediately to protect your home and family.
