As I enter the world of android on my new HTC EVO, I find myself searching for the best applications. During my search I came across more than a few real estate applications. I knew they were out there, but I started thinking about consumers and how they might really use these apps. Hmm….this has got me spinning!
So…my question today is:
Would you search for a new home on your phone? Better yet…have you already?
Des Moines Local Tweeps jumped right in:
@kateschneider: absolutely… I search for everything on my phone.
@mipo777: all the time. Love the location feature on realtor app. Makes it fun to look at lake properties
Acts like an internet search, plug in your criteria…and you’re off
You can add a home manually
Includes a loan calculator
Includes live neighborhood info with nearest property for sale, and comparable homes in the area
This is a start…there are so many more apps out there. Here is a great blog post about the Top 10 Real Estate Apps for Droid Phones. Most of these apps, if not all, are available for the iPhone as well!
Do you have another favorite? I’d love to hear about it!

As I walked through my neighborhood this morning I couldn’t help but notice the cracks in the cement. Driveways and sidewalks are showing their wear from tremendous weather we’ve had this year.
It’s that time of year…again.
Time to seal them up!
I’m no cement expert, but I do know that cement hardens constantly. It never stops. It moves, shifts, cracks, and sinks. When it cracks, the weather can cause your sidewalk to change…so sealing it will slow the process. (Anyone a cement expert out there? Feel free to chime in!)
With What?
So…are you asking yourself “What do I use to seal the driveway?” When clients have home inspections I constantly rely on a favorite inspector here in the Des Moines area. If you are looking for a Des Moines Home Inspector…connect with me and I’ll pass his name on. He always recommends Vulkemsealent, which you can purchase at the local hardware store.
So get out there, get your sealant, and delay your cement from moving further…

It all started with a dripping sound at 2:30 in the morning. My husband woke up to water coming from the ceiling. We had NO idea where it was coming from. We turned off the water to the house, soaked every towel in the house to clean the floors, and patiently waited until the morning for the plumber to come.
Fast forward 12 hours…and YES, the water was still coming down….take a look:
Verdict?
Hole in a pipe in the 2nd floor laundry room…which was replaced, water turned back on, and life began again. Damage was done to hardwood floors in the kitchen, kitchen ceiling, walls and lower level. The water traveled through the walls and also had poured out through the recessed lights in the lower level. Half of the ceiling, carpets, etc were torn out…
So now, we move on…
It’s now been a few months, and the work is almost complete. Welcome to the journey…house overhaul! Stay Tuned!
By the way…need a referral for an excellent plumber here in town?
