arkansas: Website Hits are UP! This Could Be a Good Sign of Things to Come! - 01/26/09 01:20 PM
Website hits are up!  The Kennedy Team's website, www.BestofHotSprings.com expects more than a 33% increase in site hits by the end of January.  Historically, this website averages 35,000 hits per month.  As of today, with one week remaining in the month, 42,500 hits have been calculated with an average of 1,635 hit per day! That's 470 more hits per day than the usual 1,166! If this increase in web activity continues, and it is expected that it will, The Kennedy Team should have 52,300 hits by the end of January 2009. What a great way to begin the New Year!

arkansas: Tough-Love Real Estate Marketing - 01/01/09 08:32 PM
I received an interesting email from Paulia Kennedy last week. She explained me, "We're really getting hammered with new listing calls lately -- seems like we've been averaging about 3 new calls per week.  It's getting to be so many, that we really have to be choosey about the properties we list.  We have been deliberately honest, upfront and realistic with the sellers.  Then after the honesty talk, some of them are deciding to hold off on selling." 
Having worked with Paulia for sometime now, I am well-aware of the integrity that defines The Kennedy Real Estate Team, so I asked … (5 comments)

arkansas: Feed Those Agents Well - 12/31/08 11:32 AM
When we put our northeast home up for sale a few years ago, I remember the day that the real estate agent caravan stopped our home on agent Open House day.  There isn't much to say here about that day, as it was an uneventful experience.  The agents came, and then they went. So last month when Paulia Kennedy asked me to flag her internet sites to indicate that one of her listing properties was to have an Open House the following week, I didn't think much of her request.  I soon learned that this was not going to be a ho-hum event.
Paulia explained … (13 comments)

arkansas: Easy Access To Everywhere Could REALLY Mean That The Home Backs Up To An Expressway - 09/04/08 06:44 PM
Hello,
This is Janine Gregor, Paulia Kennedy's Real Estate Virtual Assistant reporting today...
I am always looking at agent listings to see how properties are described.  Although I have conferred with Paulia Kennedy on only a handful of her listing descriptions, when the task has been offered to me, it is something I tackle with pleasure.  Paulia makes it easy for me though, (as I have mentioned in prior blog entries) because her listing photographs are really 'so good' and so very detailed that, I can describe a property quite well without even stepping foot on the lot.
When Paulia has asked me … (3 comments)

arkansas: All things Arkansas - Thank you, President Clinton! - 08/07/08 01:55 PM
It seems that every day I hear something on the local news about something pertaining to Arkansas.
 Another great event coming out of Little Rock courtesy of the William J. Clinton Foundation entitled, "Healthy Schools Forum" in which 43 US schools were recognized for their efforts to improve on exercise and healthy eating programs in academia made the evening news yesterday.  2 schools from my area, Tampa, were recognized for their efforts. 
With foundation grant funds, teachers were given pedometers where most clocked in 6,000 steps per day.  Teachers competed amongst themselves as to who could bring in the healthiest lunch … (2 comments)

arkansas: Do You Have Any Unique Arkansas Facts to Share? - 08/05/08 02:37 PM
If you had asked me before I began working with real estate agent Paulia Kennedy of Hot Springs, Arkansas if I really knew anything more about her home state other than the fact that former President Clinton grew up there, I'd say you were correct.  I just hadn't thought about Arkansas even though I was a good geography student and had traveled throughout the US as a software trainer in my early years.  It wasn't that I had anything against the state; rather I never had any reason to really make it a topic of conversation.  Since coming on board with … (2 comments)

arkansas: What are some creative selling techniques that have been used in your area? - 07/31/08 01:51 PM
With lean times come creative minds...and obviously, real estate sales are no different.  As a real estate virtual assistant my antenna is always in the 'up' position to be alerted to creative selling.  I've collected a few tidbits I'd like to share with our readers.
As you know, in a soft market residents must try that much harder to sell their properties if they want to relocate. I saw a news program recently about the increase in home swapping.   One family listed their home on Craigslist in the 'home swap' category.  I checked it out and it was true!  One such ad … (0 comments)

arkansas: How fast have you closed a listing? - 07/03/08 01:45 PM
Hello!
I'm so pleased to be on board with The Kennedy Team.  I've so enjoyed learning about the state of Arkansas and in particular, the unique real estate market of historic Hot Springs. I'll share what I've learned with Paulia's readers on her blog while I attempt to keep pace with Trademark Real Estate's Number One agents!
How fast have you closed a listing?
Last week, Paulia emailed me that the Kennedy Team had picked up a new listing on a stretch of a Hot Springs' Highway 290.  As I was jotting down the particulars to prepare to market the listing … (2 comments)
