real estate: There's no such thing as a magic bullet.....at least there isn't concerning real estate in Fort Smith, AR - 04/15/07 11:55 PM
I've been a full-time Realtor for almost 5 years and and currently have an office with approx. 25 agents. Most of them are mostly full time with some part-time. When I meet with the agents for one-on-one time I sometimes feel like they are waiting for me to tell them where to go pick up the money now that they have a real estate license. The truth is I tell them...it's not one magic thing that makes you successful, it's a series of things done consistently over time. For example, farm area's, post cards, follow ups, open house, FSBO cold calling, … (5 comments)

real estate: Why Camping with three kids is a lot like the Real Estate Business... - 03/20/07 09:35 PM
Upon a strong suggestion from my wife for some free time I quickly obliged to take my 3 children camping at Devil's Den State Park, which is located in the heart of Northwest Arkansas and only 30 minutes from my home. Like the Real Estate Business, camping with 3 kids also has the first impression to an outsider that it should be relatively easy and cheap. Ultimately the trip began at the local grocery store gathering the necessary food and beverage items to keep the little campers happy. That was the first of my suprises because it cost me $190.00 to walk … (6 comments)

real estate: Why would anyone from California want to move to Arkansas? - 03/16/07 09:20 PM
I hope I don't open the proverbial can of worms.....but this is starting to happen more often that many people want to admit. Why? Well, it's actually fairly simple math. For example, a small family is working hard living the "American Dream" in California living in a 1300sf, 2 BR, 1BA 30 year old home that cost the family $250,000-$350,000 when they bought the home 5 years ago and it's now worth approx. $475,000. They sell the home for $450,000 , lets say, and they loaded up the truck and moved from Beverly....Hills that is...swimming pools.....movie stars.....and they find the best … (2 comments)

real estate: Sebastian County Homes Sales Soar... - 03/13/07 12:10 AM
Latest numbers indicate that homes sales in Sebastian County grew from 97 in January of 2006 to 124 in January of 2007. Values for those homes grew 10% from $12.63 million in January last year to $13.93 million this year. The bulk of the change has evidently come form the homes priced below $150,000. Many of the sales have come from outside the city limits of Fort Smith which may explain why the outskirts of town continue to grow rapidly.
While transactions and total values were up, average price per transaction was down approximately 11% from $130,266 to $115,186.
