I'll pay for your appraisal.

Did you know that only $13 of every $100 spent at a big-box retailer stays in the local economy while $45 of every $100 spent at a local merchant stays local?

With the help of Sherry Borzo over at dsmbuzz.com, Des Moines area business owners are able to promote their business by offering discounts to her consumer members.  You can check out her merchant list to see some of the perks currently offered.   

I have agreed to reimburse DSM Buzz members the cost of their appraisal at closing.  This usually runs between $300 and $400.  So, if you're considering the Home Ownership Accelerator, stop by her site first and sign up for only $10/year, show me your membership card, and get your appraisal cost refunded at closing.  It's a great return on your investment....spend $10 to get $350.
