realtor: This house is NOT for sale in Searcy Arkansas. - 11/08/09 08:26 AM

Pioneer Village, a part of the White County Historical Society, held an open house today. I attended. It was delightful and brought back so many memories. Here's the main house that is NOT for sale.

And here are few shots of the rooms inside it.

An … (17 comments)

realtor: For those who long for the "good ole days" here's the way it was.... - 11/06/09 03:06 PM

Sobering old photos! These pictures are sorta continuing the story we started a few days ago regarding the house on Arch Street in Searcy Arkansas that has been changed so much.
These are what we need when we are feeling as if times are awfully tough. Blogging buddy Anita supplied these … (22 comments)

realtor: Letona Arkansas depot with our favorite Corrine Hart waiting there. - 11/02/09 08:41 PM

The White County Historical Society has a collection of pictures on its website and they've said we can share them. Here's a great one of the train depot in Letona, Arkansas.
Letona is about 15 miles from Searcy and has 215 residents at this time.
We're exploring how the trains went … (12 comments)

realtor: The butler probably did it.......Halloween fun in Searcy Arkansas...... - 11/01/09 12:34 PM

Halloween parties are fun! The elaborate costumes that some folks buy or rent are amazing to see. We attended one last night and the star of the show could be this butler. He talks, he growls, his eyes shift and he makes you feels as if he is alive!! Or could come … (16 comments)

realtor: The evolution of a charming house into a thriving business in Searcy Arkansas. - 10/23/09 07:39 PM

This picture of 916 E Race shows it as it was when Race Street was a quiet little street with residential properties still on it. The builder/draftsman who drew it up had saved pictures and floorplans of some of his creations. His wife was throwing them away and I, being a … (19 comments)

realtor: Georgetown, Arkansas. You've gotta be going there because you can't drive by! - 10/22/09 07:15 AM

Georgetown Arkansas in White County is the oldest continuously settled area in Arkansas, according to Wikipedia. It was settled in 1789 and overlooks the White River. As of the census in 2000 there were 126 folks who lived there. There were 55 households and 33 families.
Now, more down to earth … (23 comments)

realtor: This is Arkansas. It is a good picture of country enjoyment. - 10/20/09 08:12 AM

I used to drive my kids to a place called Slippery Rock Ford and they'd wade in the water on the slippery rocks. This little bridge was a favorite. It gets underwater at times but evidently it holds up pretty darned good. In fact, the water looks a bit high for … (17 comments)

realtor: Introducing my selected Heir Apparent (HA) but I'm not gone by a long shot!! - 10/19/09 11:07 AM

A few months ago I asked what we should look for if we select an heir apparent. My blog was sorta high-jacked by two friends named Nutsy and Raven but I had some feedback. My requirements were.....
Honesty......this certainly would be a must. Energy......if I get tired, they shouldn't! Intelligence......street smarts wouldn't hurt. … (13 comments)

realtor: Arkansas had an earthquake! I didn't notice. But I noticed this clever writeup in our state newspaper. - 10/17/09 08:36 AM

How does a newspaper cover an earthquake that no one feels? That does pose a challenge. Our state newspaper, the Arkansas Democrat Gazette on October 17, 2009 ran the following editorial. I read it this morning while drinking coffe and loved it. I loved the large letters that got smaller and … (21 comments)

realtor: A four-chimney house? That must have been a real luxury in old Searcy Arkansas. - 10/16/09 07:50 AM

This historic house is barely on the East side of Searcy on a corner lot with huge trees. So many trees, in fact, that pictures are difficult. I believe it is called the Margaret Pope house. Correct me, Searcy readers, if I'm wrong.
I drive by it daily and wonder why … (24 comments)

realtor: Now this is a B--I--G tree.....beside an old Searcy Arkansas home. - 10/14/09 09:11 PM

Each time I drive by this house and it is almost every day, I drive a little faster thinking that if one of those limbs comes down on me, I'm a goner!

Well, not really. But I always think that the tree is as historic as the house. … (28 comments)

realtor: Well, where'd the Pergo go? - 10/10/09 07:35 AM

This is the second home that I've had listed as a foreclosure property from which the Pergo flooring has been removed. It was kinda funny on the first one but this second one makes me wonder if it's easily transportable, sorta like a rug, and can be installed in a minute in someone's … (30 comments)

realtor: Ode to a mentor. Mentors are very important when you start in real estate. - 09/21/09 07:55 PM

My old friend called me today. She said it just as she always did.
"This is Lill [pause] Williams."
For the hard of hearing, the slow to catch on, the busy person....it was definite who was calling. There was never a quick, hard to understand, "ThisisLill," with the person on the … (57 comments)

realtor: Big Sister Little Sister dressed up and looking great! Note house in background. - 08/27/09 09:11 PM

This picture was loaned to me by my friend Ludean.
It brings back old memories. Let's count a few.
Note the house foundation. I remember as a kid crawling under those houses with piers but no underpinning. It was cool and fun. Now it gives me the shivers to think of going under … (8 comments)

realtor: The person at this number is not accepting calls at this time. How extremely rude! - 08/26/09 09:22 PM

Last week I had a request from a lady to see property in a city that was some distance away. Upon trying to call her back for a day or two I kept getting this extremely annoying and rude message, "The person at this number is not accepting calls at this … (23 comments)

realtor: If you don't know the inventory, you can't sell the inventory. - 04/09/09 07:47 AM

Over 25 years ago our Multiple Listing Service started a Wednesday tour of new listings. We tour in the small city of Searcy Arkansas each week, the county in quadrants, and try to have something educational at our meetings on the 5th Wednesdays when they roll around.
I've been a faithful … (6 comments)

realtor: Share my desktop? I didn't know I could share my desktop, did you? - 03/13/09 08:10 AM

I was having trouble pulling something up that I needed from the FannieMae website that's called AMN. It's where we put in all of our expenses, reports, etc.
I found the number for help and dialed and got a very nice man. Young, I'm sure, because you have to be young … (18 comments)

realtor: I'm beginning to hate my cell phone! It is so intrusive! - 03/11/09 07:04 AM

Remember when we went out to show property and if we needed a phone we pulled up to a pay phone?
Remember when YOU first decided to get a car phone? That's what we called them because they came with a box too big to lug around.
Remember when we used … (26 comments)

realtor: We get taught some things at our weekly MLS meeting. - 02/26/09 07:14 AM

Most of us don't know how to use our MLS to its fullest value. I asked an agent this morning if she used the "rubber band" search.
"What's the rubber band search?" she responded.
Up until two weeks or so ago I also didn't use it because it was not something … (7 comments)

realtor: Is he dead, alive, or just playing possum? - 02/15/09 09:28 PM

Going to a new foreclosure property is always an adventure. Walk softly and carry a big stick....didn't someone famous say that?
While getting a shot of the foreclosure house from across the street, I did a double-take when I saw this animal under a tree beside the side walk and actually in … (45 comments)
