Fields Of Dreams From Rock Center with Brian Williams

On January 2nd Jason appeared on NBC’s Rock Center with Brian Williams and we’ve received an overwhelming response to the piece!  People love dirt!  The episode refers to my business as DreamDirt Realty which is inaccurate.  This was an assumption on the part of the NBC production team. DreamDirt is an online blog and website for Iowa Auctioneer Jason Smith.  Here is the episode if you missed it.

Iowa Farmland 101

CSR stands for Corn Suitability Rating which has a big influence on the value of tillable farmland in Iowa. CSR is an index procedure developed in Iowa to rate each different kind of soil for its potential row-crop productivity. Soil profile properties and weather conditions are the dominant factors that affect productivity. Slope characteristics are major factors that determine how land should be used. Slope gradient and slope length affect potential erosion rates, water infiltration, and ease and efficiency of machine operation. CSRs provide a relative ranking of all soils mapped in the state of Iowa based on their potential to be utilized for row-crop production.

Real Estate Term: Pocket Listings

Have you ever heard an agent refer to a "Pocket Listing"? Pocket listings are farms we know are for sale, but not listed. In other words for one reason or another a person has told us "I don't want to list it but feel free to bring me offers" Sellers do this for various reasons, sometimes they don't want neighbors or family to know, sometimes they know several real estate agents and don't want to offend the other.

What you can't find in my listings, I may very well have as a pocket listing so its important to call and open the conversation, let me know what you are after and if I don't have it, I'll certainly keep an eye out for you and that doesn't cost you a dime!
