QR Codes are Revolutionizing Real Estate What is a QR code?

A QR or Quick Response code, also known as a 2D barcode, gives users information on their smart phone or cell phone in an instant. In the simplest sense, think print-based link to web.

If you see these QR codes, you take a photo through an application on your smart phone or cell phone, the program analyzes or scans the barcode, and it asks if you’d like to be redirected to a web address/URL.

Can I use QR codes on my phone?

Because this technology is relatively new, there is no standard program or application for you to use. iPhones® and BlackBerrys® accommodate QR scanning applications quite easily and have very inexpensive (or even free) downloads available from their respective application stores.

Even some cell phones allow it.

Go to this website to see if your smart phone is compatible and to download code reader software to get started with QR Codes. www.mobile-barcodes.com/qr-code-software.

Housing markets, like all markets, inevitably have their ups and downs. But as a long-term investment,

home ownership remains one of the best investments for individual households with a track record that is virtually unmatched by any other purchase in terms of its real benefits.

The fact is now is an exceptionally good time to shop for a home.

Buyers with good credit, a job and steady income, will find there is plenty of mortgage credit to be had at good rates.

And with quite a bit of inventory on the market,

home shoppers will find a variety of choice in all price ranges.

Most people prefer to own the place where they live and bring up their family.

And for credit-worthy buyers, the option to purchase is still very viable and still makes a great deal of sense.

The bottom line is this: If

you are looking for a place to live and for a solid long-term investment, today is a good time to buy a home, especially in a market like Central Iowa where homes are among the most affordable in the nation.

Receiverships and distressed property

PMG RECEIVERSHIP AND DISTRESSED PROPERTY PROGRAM Properties in foreclosure proceedings or under receivership often are in states of considerable distress. PMG specializes in quickly creating customized solutions to solve difficult problems in such circumstances.

In many cases, companies offering management services for distressed properties provide one level of service which may be considered as only reactive in nature. While the first stage of distressed property management requires a reactive posture, PMG implements a comprehensive four-stage process that substantially reduces liability risks, increases cash flow, and in the end, increases property value at final disposition.

PMG has served as manager for some of Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most complex and difficult receivership and distressed property scenarios. While challenging, through its four-stage program, PMG has brought several properties from the brink of inhabitability to a stabilized and self sustaining state. In the end, owners and lenders have realized increased returns, tenant retention and overall property value. PMGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four-stage distress property management program follows: Stage One: Reactive PMG identifies and resolves serious, imminent threats to safety and health of tenants, as well as threats to the property. Documentation concerning financial and leasing status is obtained, secured and/or recreated. Communication is initiated and developed with employees, tenants and vendors.

Stage Two: Stabilization PMG continues to focus on resolution of health and safety issues.

Solutions are created to address issues contributing to the degradation of property value that are not readily apparent at the time management responsibilities are assumed. Substantial emphasis is placed on repairing relationships with tenants and vendors. Property rehabilitation opportunities are identified. Regular communication and reporting is provided to the lender.

Stage Three: Proactive PMG develops a long-term property plan and budget based upon the goals and desires of the lender. Rehabilitation projects that will increase property value and cash flow are implemented. Expenses are reduced and risks are mitigated by implementing appropriate screening processes for vendors and tenants. Regular communication and reporting continues.

Stage Four: Disposition and Transition PMG teams with Peoples Company, one of Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most diverse real estate brokerages, to dispose of the property. PMG disseminates financial information to prospective clients and assists with coordination of property showings. Upon the sale and closing of the property, PMG coordinates a smooth and successful transition of financial, leasing and vendor concerns.
