Best of the Corridor 2010

CBJ Magazine Cover

For the past five years the Corridor Business Journal has been doing a Best of the Corridor survey.  CBJ subscribers were asked to vote for the people and companies they deemed the best in 50 different categories designed to hit several area business sectors.

Skogman Realty was voted ‘Best Real Estate Management Company’ in the Corridor for the second time.  We are thrilled that the public and fellow business owners feel that we are doing a good job and serving our clients well.

In the write up, which ran in the July 19-25 issue, President Chris Skogman talks about how Skogman Realty doesn’t buy into the old adage in the real estate industry, that a company’s most important assets are their homes for sale or their listing inventory.  Chris says, at Skogman, the most important assets are the agents.  “The one thing that can’t be copied is the quality of the agent that works here.  So we’re constantly striving to have the hardest working and most highly respected people working with us.”  This couldn’t be more true.   Skogman has an amazing group of agents and with them comes the listings.

Thank you to all of our agents and employees for making Skogman the Best in the Corridor.

 Freedom from Hunger Logo

As  part of the HACAP Freedom From Hunger food drive we decided to have a competition between our 5 offices to see who could collect the most food.  Starting Monday June 28th the offices had until Friday the 2nd to collect food and get it to HACAP.  The office with the most food in weight, would win a pizza party for their office.

Here are the results:

Marion Office:  58 pounds
West Office:  70 pounds
Coralville Office: 193 pounds
Downtown Office:  358 pounds
Hiawatha Office:  560 pounds

That is a total of 1,239 pounds of food that will go the HACAP Food Reservoir and will be distributed to area food pantries, free meal sites and programs that serve the homeless and hungry in Cedar Rapids and surrounding areas.

HACAP is a great organization and does great things for the community, we are happy to be able to contribute to the cause.

Freedom Festival

 Freedom Festival

It’s that time of year again…time for the Freedom Festival!  This is always a sure sign that it is summer in Cedar Rapids.  Ever since I was little, I have loved the Freedom Fest and everything it represents.  The family activities, the patriotism and the culture are all part of the spirit! 

I love this time of year, not just because of the great childhood memories I have surrounding it, but also because there is always something to do!  The Balloon Glow, the parade, the Office Olympics, tons of concerts and of course the big finale, the fireworks on July 4th are just a few of my favorites.  The events and activities that take place over these couple of weeks are not only entertaining but are educational and are a celebration of the community.

This year will be extra special with the fireworks returning downtown for the first time since the flood.  I look forward to seeing the swarms of people gathering on the streets and roof tops to see the amazing display.   

Have a safe and happy fourth of July!
