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.
QR Codes are Revolutionizing Real Estate
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.

Emerald Homes of Iowa, Inc. is a company providing green, high-performance custom homes and detail-oriented remodeling at all price points. They create unique homes with your specifi c lifestyle in mind using common sense and the latest technologies.
President Steve Theis’ 30-plus years of building and real estate experience give him a unique perspective on the entire process of designing, building and selling quality homes.
Theis believes in “purpose-driven building and remodeling” to make your house perform better and longer by utilizing energy-, resource- and water-effi cient features as well as indoor air quality features.
Emerald Homes of Iowa27573 Wildwood DriveAdel, IA 50003Phone: 515-993-7227www.stevetheis.com www.emeraldhomesofi owa.com
All Emerald Homes include other new technologies as well such as effi cient lighting fi xtures and bulbs, photovoltaic electricity and water heating systems, low-fl ow showerheads, faucets, and toilets and ENERGY STAR appliances.
Theis’ belief in building and remodeling homes with your specifi c wants and needs in mind means, as Theis proudly states, that Emerald Homes of Iowa builds to “function today, tomorrow and for a long time.”
That’s why Emerald also designs homes that allow you to “age in place.”
The façade of these homes looks no different than any other home. The homes are simply built with greater accessibility. Again, common-sense details like wider doorways, fewer or no stairs and the microwave on countertop allow for greater mobility and convenience.
“Emerald Homes of Iowa does not build with only aesthetics in mind, it is with you and your future in mind,” Theis said.
The Emerald team consists also of Amy Larsen and Mike Stockbauer. Larsen is the head designer for Emerald Homes of Iowa and Stockbauer is the building supervisor and on-site presence at each building site.
Emerald Homes of Iowa combines common sense, latest technologies
“Green development has been around forever,” Theis said. “For example, the old Iowa farmer built his house based on solar orientation, he composted and he recycled. He grew beautiful, rich gardens with no fertilizer or insecticide because it was too expensive.”
Emerald Homes of Iowa uses those same common sense techniques to build your custom home. They build homes that use long-life materials and less of those materials. There is less waste and, in turn, it costs less for the you the consumer.
They ensure the homes are properly ventilated and that fans cycle fresh air inside and release stale air outside. And, like the farmer, Emerald Homes rely on house orientation and design to take advantage of natural daylight to reduce lighting needs and to reduce heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter.
Emerald Homes also uses new technologies to ensure each house is built as “green” as possible. For example, they use a thermal imaging camera which senses temperature differences and allows the Emerald team to quickly assess energy loss and insulation gaps.
“The camera allows us to see air infi ltration areas and spots that have inadequate insulation. We use this camera to ensure our homes are properly performing,” Theis said.
“Emerald Homes of Iowa does not build with only aesthetics in mind, it is with you and your future in mind.”

For 32 years, Dorrance Brezina has lived and worked in Des Moines’ golden circle. But Brezina’s heart truly lies in Warren County.
He has a self-proclaimed “soft spot” for the rural county just on the edge of urban development and his ultimate goal is to bring people and jobs to Warren County.
“35,000 cars pass through Highway 92/65/69 intersection and only 15,000 live in Indianola,” Brezina said. “So there is a large workforce coming through and going to Des Moines and even more living in the city. My goal is to attract people to live in northern Warren County.”
Before that can happen there must be development.
Brezina specializes in farm land development and, in the case of northern Warren County, this means developing the farm land into well-thought-out, planned communities.
He deals primarily with land owners to maximize land development. Brezina looks for the future in the specifi c piece of land and fi nds new avenues for the land to be used successfully.
“Value is added when I can fi nd a new use for a building or for land,” Brezina said.
For example, Brezina recently found Poindexter Flooring a new home in an old car dealership north of Indianola. This transaction will bring jobs and people to the area as opposed to the building sitting vacant.
He closely follows growth patterns and works with city offi cials to increase boundaries through annexation and, fi nally, puts the land in the hands of strong developers who will follow a long-term master plan that ensures maximum land usage and economic benefi ts.
“In today’s market too many people try to follow past development patterns, therefore, mistakes repeat themselves,” Brezina said. “I try to forecast and foresee future developments and possible changes in the future.”
So what exactly does Brezina see in Warren County’s future?
“In the next ten years, I see more of a village-type development that gives people modern benefi ts like roadways, schools and water,” Brezina said. “But in two to three acre parcels where there is a strong sense of community along with a strong sense of space.”
On the opposite side of the spectrum, Brezina also develops farm land to increase net yield for farmers.
“I come from a rural background and part of my job is very much farm-oriented,” Brezina said. “I help farmers take full advantage of their land by doing things like clearing timber or installing sustainable practices.”
He also oversees farm auctions, represents builders and developers in land and lot sales and advises banks in disposing REO (Real Estate Owned) properties.
But for Brezina, whether he is helping to develop a cornfi eld into a residential property or vice versa, farmland development means maximizing the Warren County economy.

County will see even more
growth and opportunities.
