Dennis Listens Diligently
"Having bought and sold numerous properties, including houses, raw land, and ranches, we consider ourselves to be experienced buyers and sellers. We have always worked with realtors, but we must say that Dennis Kusenberger is by far the best and most professional realtor we have ever dealt with." Dennis listens diligently to his buyers, and utilizes this information when searching for a property. He does his homework and does not waste a buyer's time showing properties that would not meet their needs. He's patient in his search, but upon identifying the correct property acts immediately. If the buyer likes the property, Dennis has the knowhow and experience to bring the tranaction to fruition. When selling a property, Dennis candidly and factually identifies both the positives and the negatives. He then tailor designs an individual marketing plan for the property, and continually seeks to improve. Most remarkable of all, in our opinion, Dennis genuinely cares about both his buyers and sellers. He works very hard at this and enjoys the process of bringing buyers and sellers together. He's especially delighted when all parties are pleased. He's truly one of a kind in the real estate world. We cannot imagine ever working with anyone else. D'Ann and Charlie Troell

Buying Land and New Construction >Beware of Fat Clay
When building a home, you should have the soil on the construction site tested for plasticity to determine how it will change under different moisture conditions. This is important because some soil is so "plastic" that (if the condition is not corrected) it can actually break concrete floors, crack the walls and destroy the foundation of your home.
Highly plastic soil is sometimes referred to as "fat clay" that swells excessively and loses stability when it becomes wet. Fine-grained soils that contain a high percentage of clay are greatly affected by water, turning to mud when it rains and undergoing large volume changes-sometimes up to 40 or 50 percent, as the soil dries. Not only do clays swell and lose stability when they become wet, but they also retard the drainage of water. If plastic soil is found on your building site, the ground must be over-excavated and replaced with clean gravel. Homebuilders often choose not to include a basement, or to protect the basement walls from excess moisture by surrounding them with a layer of gravel. A fine-grained clay-filled soil with a high plasticity index may require considerable treatment, especially if used in a moist location.
