Anyone that knows me or have read my post, know that I don't like to deal with a lot of negative things.  Sadly, this is one of those events.  Last night the city of Fort Smith, Arkansas and surrounding areas, suffered severe damage.  The first storm came through about 8 p.m.  Then another storm.  Then another.  Winds were blowing and the Tornado Sirens were going off all over the area.  I have not seen the rain blow in so many different directions in my entire life.  There was golf ball to baseball sized hail, and at times it seemed like it wouldn't end.My family and I took shelter, and all we could do was pray.  Pray for ourselves and others.  We were blessed.  Many were left without electricity.  Many had to leave their homes.  Several had vehicles, and homes damaged.The people are s...

I have to acknowledge that I have been a bit MIA lately. I apologize to my loyal readers! Things have been a bit hectic around my home as of late.I attended the Fort Smith Board of Realtors luncheon today at the invitation of our own Ray Nellum.I am not a licensed Realtor yet so it was nice to be a part of the lunch so I could see what goes on there. There were a lot of great points made about participation and the importance of supporting groups that lobby on behalf of Realtors. I am becoming more aware of all the different aspects of being a Real Estate Agent and how you really have to be dedicated and treat this as your lifelong career. Too many people think they can just get a license and whala... sell houses!There is so much to learn and if you are not careful, you could make a mis...

Have you priced your home right???  Did your agent provide you with the facts???  The hard core data to let you know that your house is priced within the market...Did your agent tell you that your home should sell for FULL PRICE???In this market?  Are you serious?Almost every buyer out looking for a home has seen what you've seen.  They've seen the media talking about a housing slump.  They've read the articles talking about the balloon bursting.  Even if your house is price appropriately.  Don't expect it.  It is a buyer's market!!  If you get that low ball offer, at least make a counter offer.  I know several of my counterparts will disagree with me, but you should attempt to counter regardless of their offer.Here are the facts for the Ft. Smith Real Estate Market:  Only 31% of the 71...

Kids say the darnedest things!!  The are extremely honest.  The are at times, "No Holds Bared!"  Kids see things from a more clear, true, and realistic eye than we as adults often do.Having children of my own, I've been down that winding and often funny road.Yesterday, I had an Open House at 516 May Ave., in Ft. Smith, Arkansas.  It was a great open house.  I had several visitors, and several positive comments.  There was 1 visitor that stood out the most.Soon the parents entered as well as their little daughter.  I spoke to this little girl and she was shy.  I tried to engage her in conversation throughout their visit, and still I received little to no response.  Until, we were looking at the exterior, and the little girl takes off running for the van.  Her father called to her and she...
