SHOCKING Reasons People Are Moving To Iowa!
Great eyes and personality 😊
Hello great video! Quick question when using the machine should I crack open the windows, or not necessarily? TIA
@@jesusxcaroify I’d leave the windows shut in order to help the ozone concentrate in the area you’re treating. Remember, it is not safe for people or pets to be in a house with an ozone machine running for extended periods of time.
@EmilyFarber Gotcha, so a fast response thank you! So should probably leave it running for a day or so while I'm out of the house?
@@jesusxcaroifyYes! It is not safe for you to breathe a lot of concentrated ozone. Turn the machine on and leave. When you come home, turn it off and leave again for a while to give the house time to air out (use fans, open windows, etc to speed this part up).
Pro - it’s cheap. Con - it’s cheap for a reason.
never live in a blue city again.
You must live in Iowa City because a few "rules " are right but not many of them. Or they are just common sense. Just looking at you makes me realize Iowa City people are not the same as the rest of the state.
What rules do you agree with and what do you disagree with? What is it about me that makes you feel I am somehow different that other Iowans?
People of iowa got Left Behind.
@@lennarthagen8730 In what way?
@@EmilyFarber ask Corey Taylor
Iowa is horrible. Boring, right wing, and unwelcoming people. RUN away!!!
I think the reason you guys have trouble with roundabouts is because you guys don’t yield properly in this state. Iowa is the only state I know of where people on the freeway have to yield the right of way to people merging into the freeway. In all other states the person merging onto your lane is responsible to adjust their speed. It took me a while to get used to this.
Don't drink or swim in the water.
Iowa is not for everyone. Mostly very busy farmers! Takes a lot of know how to run a farm! But all that acreage doesn’t leave a lot of space for non farm businesses. Not a lot of opportunities for non farm loving people. If you don’t fit in ya gotta move to where you do! Nothing wrong with Iowa.
Always be boring? Always be bored?
lol. I’m sure your mama told you, “Boring is as boring does.”
@@EmilyFarber Like your mom.

What "unwritten rules of Iowa" surprised you? Did I miss any? Tell me about it in the comments!
Moving from Baltimore to Dubuque. Kind of excited.
@@Gemini_Samura1 Wow! That’ll be a big change! Welcome.
It is a good looking house. Why the price is so low for downtown location? Cause seems like it's a 40% discount.
Price was based on home's mechanical condition and market dynamics. There are several major improvements that the future buyer will likely need to immediately undertake. The property is now in contract. Thanks for watching!
Are you looking to buy or sell a home in the greater Iowa City area? Reach out to me! 319-594-4455.
I think this is just a big advantage to buyers. They can offer to broker their own transaction and sellers agent doesn't have to offer anything to the buyer. Which is a win win for the selling agent and seller. Buyer will hire a law firm for 1/8 of the cost and everyone is happy. But yes, a disadvantage for buyers agents.
That scenario only works for the buyer if the transaction is completely mundane and without any challenges in a buyer’s market. A real estate attorney is not going to negotiate remedy issues, meet with contractors, work out a complicated change of plans due to the dominos not falling in expected time upstream for the other properties in associated transactions. A real estate attorney is not going to take a buyer’s panicked calls at 10 pm and talk them off the ledge and show them the path forward towards their goal. A real estate attorney does not have the boots on the ground market knowledge to guide a buyer with the best strategy for writing an offer for the particular dynamics of the situation. A real estate attorney is not going to show a buyer 27 houses over the course of 6 weeks and give up family time to do so. A real estate attorney doesn’t have access to off market properties. A real estate attorney won’t birddog for that buyer to get them into places before everyone else knows about them. But, you do you.
@@EmilyFarberyou sound like a really good agent who adds value to the process. Unfortunately, most in the profession treat it like a hobby or second job. This has led a push to move away from using a percentage based intermediary in place of a flat fee company like FSBO, which is I think where things are headed long term. Keep adding value and you will be even more successful. No disrespect intended. I will trust myself and only myself for the biggest transaction of my life.
@@edmundohillary I appreciate your kind response. 🩷 I am a good agent. I also recognize that there are bad eggs in real estate…just like every profession. It frustrates me that Realtors, as a whole, are getting absolutely drug through the mud right now because most of the agents I know are really good people who take their job seriously. I think there will be a lot of unintended negative consequences for a lot of buyers when they find themselves in messy transactions without professional guidance.
@@EmilyFarber well put!!
What do you think of the new rules of how real estate operates in the US? Is preventing sellers from stating the amount of compensation they're willing to offer buyer's agents on the MLS a violation of their rights of free speech? Are you willing to write what you want in an offer without having advance knowledge of what the seller is likely to accept?
I tried living in iowa for 7 yrs. Bad weather. Bad food. Bad architecture. People are fake. Its freezing cold for 5 months out of the yr. If you want to do anything fun and interesting involves a plane ticket to another state. There is no cool or sexy there. And its expensive to live there.
Jeeze. Tell us how you really feel. I guess I just take my fake self out to a bad dinner and go home to my ugly house to stay out of the crap weather.
@EmilyFarber lol sorry it's just not for me. Iowa is a great place to visit and raise a family. Out side of that I stand by what I said.

I’m just curious about Iowa. A quiet place to retire is on my radar. Also. What are the religious and spiritual demographics across the state?
Yes, chain links are better for the wind. In Reno NV we have big wind and the wood fences take a beating.
Ottuma IA made it first, loose meat sandwich, maid rite copied it
Steering your customers to sellers homes who provide the buyers commission??? New rules just made this supposed illegal action a silent reality????
I’m not sure I’m following you. My buyers sign an agreement a before ever even looking at homes in which my rate for my real estate services is specified. They know how much it costs to hire me. As of Aug 17th the field in the MLS that states the amount of compensation offered to the buyer’s brokerage will be gone, and as such, if my buyer wants to know if there is anything being offered, I will try to find out if there is compensation offered prior to scheduling a showing. The buyer makes the decision if they want to see the home or not and/or at that point, and write an offer or not. We can always write the request for my fee to be covered by the seller into the purchase agreement, and if the seller says no…well, then at that point the buyer makes the decision to move forward with the deal or not knowing they will be paying my fee. The buyer is the one “steering” themselves towards or away from properties. I am not steering anyone.
What unsolicited advice do you have for home buyers about things they should try to avoid in a home? 🤨 Bonus points if you tell us the story about how you learned your lesson!
Ah yes, Ragbri. Where naked slip and slide was invented :)
and never, never, never say sloppy Joe or even think about using Manwhich :)
This was a very helpful video. Thanks a lot...So i did end up using the UV flashlight and it was an eyeopener, there are many pee stains in every bedroom. Is it still worth trying the Enzyme based cleaning from carpet cleaning company? OR it would be waste of money if there are several stains? I wouldnt know how old these stains are since the tenants were in the property for 7yrs. Hopefully you can help answer this. Thanks again.
Hi there. I guess you could look at this two ways: 1. Cleaning the specific spots with an enzyme cleaner and then overall carpet cleaning is a lot cheaper than ripping out the flooring, sealing the sub flooring and putting in new flooring, so you might as well try it first. 2. If the carpet is cheap/builder grade, that stuff really doesn’t last much longer than about 5 years with normal wear and tear anyway, and you’ve got 7+ years on it plus animal pee, so…time for new carpet (but seal the subfloors before you reinstall)!
Thanks For the response. Actually This was a brand new home from builder. So ya std builder carpet grade :) The carpet in bedrooms however is not too bad (minus the pee stains n smell) but stairs and main livingnroom carpet looks beaten down, so have decided to change that to vinyl. And maybe try cleaning the bedrooms 1st and hopefully I get lucky 😊
So I decided to remove all carpets rather than waste time in cleaning I picked up Kilz Max Restoration Primer for Stain/Odor blocking, but can i apply this directly on the subfloor Or do i need to first clean the sub floor with vinegar/soda/Enzyme,etc. Before paint? Thanks
@@nikbadshah I'd just apply directly to the subfloor since it is supposed to be odor blocking. Attempting to clean a semi-absorbent surface like a subfloor for old, soaked in urine is a loosing battle....hence the need to just seal/block it!
Thank goodness for the Omadome protecting Nebraska from many of these storms
lol! What’s the Omadome?
@@EmilyFarber If you live in Western Iowa you may have noticed a pattern over the last several years where a ton of snow will fall in Western Nebraska, a small amount In Omaha, then dump a ton in Western Iowa. The conspiracy theory is that the Air Force controls the weather so snow doesn't interrupt flight operations at SAC which is a few miles south of Omaha. Theorists have dubbed this protective dome over Omaha the Omadome :)
@@timcostanzo370 Fascinating! 🧐
Insurance companies just want you to pay and pay premiums and never pay a claim
It sure feels like it often times!
Isnteas of changing the carpet & underlay, Could you just run the ozone machine for few days? Will it suck off the odor off the carpet underlay?? ps-there is strong odor through emtire house and likely many pee areas neglected by my tenant over the last 7 years
Its about breaking you. And getting rich doing it. Dollar will inflate tiĺ the economy stops, and foreigners are coming to pay your debt and make you their slaves. You will be a slave or die. You will worship their God or die.
I was born and raised in Georgia. Ended up in California (Bay Area) after the Marine Corps. I moved to Iowa for work in 2002 from California. It is the best thing I ever did. You get used to the winters and the summers are not as bad as Georgia. I rarely wear a jacket when doing daily activities in the winter (even in January). I have winter clothing and use it when it is needed. I lived in Mt. Vernon for my first 15 years. It is a small college town (3500 people). All of my kids went to school there. Now, I live out in rural Iowa on 35 acres and am 10 miles from anything in any direction. I have been fortunate through my work to travel all over the US and the world, some for extended time frames (2 months or more). Iowa is a great place to live and raise a family. I'm never leaving.
@@KM0AGA Mount Vernon is a beautiful town. I’m glad you found a place that makes you happy. I love living out in the country...although I don’t have as much land as you. Elbow room makes me happy, too.
Looking to moving to fort dodge . Any suggestions?
Beware of political agendas behind the presentation of statistics. For instance, the states with the most people leaving also happen to be the larger states, so maybe a more useful stat would be numbers of people leaving *per capita*. In Illinois we have a propaganda mill called the Illinois Policy Institute whose agenda is to lower taxes for very rich people. They drive hysterical claims about people leaving the state for lower taxes and ignore or deny any nuance.
Maybe it is time for insurance companies, banks, and builders to work together to change the kind of housing that is permitted to be built - like monolithic domes or concrete, and making sure it's safe from flooding and wind and fire...
In a way, that is starting to happen. For instance, when you put a new roof on a house, most insurance companies will give you a bit of a discount if your new shingles are class-4 impact resistant (which, unsurprisingly, cost more).
My homeowners insurance went up about 8% since last year, with no claims. We had gutter damage when the derecho took down some big tree limbs, but our system was old and rusty anyway, so we just replaced everything with a new, updated system out of pocket. The gutters weren't new when we moved in 30 years ago, just to give you an idea. Our homeowners insurance premium is about 0.8% of the value of our house+garage. 0.7% if you include the value of the land. I live in Story County.
I was feeling a little salty about my own 15% increase, but after doing the research for this video, I realized that increase was actually on the low side compared to what many people were facing. What is frustrating, though, is feeling like you can’t make a claim unless the issue is “really bad” for fear of your insurance company dropping you. We had an upstairs toilet leak. In the process of fixing that, we discovered it had been leaking for quite a while, and the subfloor under it was rotted. To fix THAT, the tile in the bathroom had to be ripped out and replaced. To fix what happened between the floors, we had to cut a huge hole in our kitchen ceiling, remove the insulation, treated for mold, and then put it all back together. We did not make a claim with our insurance because it didn’t seem completely“worth it” once we would have paid our deductible. Good times, good times…
I hope it's not facing an insurance crisis! My husband and I have been considering moving to Iowa to be near family. But higher insurance on top of the high property taxes? Not happy about that.
Gah! Its no fun. But, 90% of the country is facing homeowners insurance hate hikes. It’s a problem in a lot of areas!
After I used odor ban cause it smelled so good cats wilds cats excedra attacked the house inside and even outside where air came out windows. The ammonia in the ban cleaner I guess they were trying to cover it up with their own amonia
My realtor told me an amazing price then when I go to sign up on the paperwork it say 125,000 less than she said verbally and from that moment on it has just gotten worse and worse im up to 2 months with her and I can tell you that even if she did get a buyer i wouldn't sell it she doesn't deserve the money
More and more Muslims and Aficans every day
Background music is annoying and too loud.
Basements flood. Stuff ruined. Thanks for mentioning tornados. 👍
Grateful to share some online conversations with you to get to know more about the Iowan Sound system and pronunciation.
I have so many family members moving here from Illinois. I do have to admit it’s too cold in the winter and housings costs are ridiculous.But it’s a great place to raise a family and we like the political atmosphere.
