I'm heading to Ft. Smith today with my family.  My 15 year old son has decided to interview to be a counselor for Boy Scout camp this summer.  So, the family is all going to learn about the hangin' judge of Ft. Smith, tour the musuem, visit the trolly musuem...maybe take a ride, and learn about t...

Self improvement is a huge must in the real estate world.  For an agent that can bring buyers into Northwest Arkansas you can trust that I have what it takes to get them interested, and get your property shown.  These days social networking plays such a huge role in what we do.  Go with an agent ...

I sent an offer, no, good offer on a large home yesterday to an agent who was at a convention.  The first question I got was, "How long did you give me?"   Honestly, what in the world are agents thinking?  You have a chance to sell a large listing, and you are worried about having time to play an...

Where were you today 25 years ago when the Challenger exploded? I was in the sixth grade. We (the boys) just got back from PE class and all the girls were crying. Mrs. Campbell was too. She let us see news replays and then turned it off. We were shocked.  Keep the families represented here in pra...

A Realtor friend of mine had an amazing/horrible status this morning...   Life as a Realtor: Showing a young couple houses yesterday. On the way back to my office, sitting at a stoplight, she suddenly opened the door & upchucked on the street. Light changed, had to go. She then upchucked in my li...
