Is Your Home Being Marketed Everywhere Possible? Probably Not By Your Agent…
October 9th, 2009 categories: News and Events, Selling your Home
It takes exposure to get a home sold… a lot of it. Exposure with yard signs, newspaper ads, open houses, MLS listings, and most recently online… where 87% of buyers begin their home search.

1.35 Years of New Foreclosure Inventory Coming on the Market? How Will It Affect Northwest Arkansas?
October 2nd, 2009 categories: News and Events

EXIT Pro Realty is Hosting the Carnival of Real Estate #155 on Monday, August 31st!
August 27th, 2009 categories: News and Events
I had just about forgotten that I signed up EXIT Pro to host the Carnival this month. This past Tuesday I started getting blog carnival emails and realized… “oh yeah, we’re hosting the carnival this week.” With that said, this week’s carnival theme is “Meat ‘n Taters.”
No offense to the vegetarians…
We’re BIG on technology around EXIT Pro. One thing we try to keep our agents from losing sight of is the fact that real estate is about people, not technology. To keep that in mind for us and for the rest of the real estate community, we thought we’d get back to basics and talk about the meat ‘n taters of real estate. We also love to propagate the stereotypes of the deep south so the theme accomplishes two goals. This week’s carnival winners will be loosely based on how well they apply some of the basic real estate principles of networking, prospecting, closing, yadda yadda. Of course, we’ll recognize other posts that tickle our worcestershire (that’s a steak joke).
Bring on the articles and submit some posts! We’ve got 25 or so agents with their steak knives sharpened and ready to slice into some juicy real estate blogs!
