sleepWould I DARE to go there???  Yes, I would and I will!  I have received numerous calls and emails from people about their Laze Agent.  Are there really lazy agents out there???  Are there some lazy agents in the Fort Smith Housing Market?  Heck Yeah!

I got a call and asked the lady if she was working with a Realtor and she said yes.  I told her she needed to contact her agent about more information on the home.  Well, she said, "My agent told me to look and find a home and just call the agent for information."  WHAT????

Buying a House in Fort Smith... Find Out What's Important!

Buying a house in Fort Smith is a great idea!!  Fort Smith Housing Market has so much to offer all buyers.  You want to be smart and do the right thing don't you?  Then don't just pick up a magazine and start going to see house!  That is NOT the first step.  You need to get Pre-Qualified for a loan!

What's a Pre-Qualification?  You need to know your buying power.  Getting Pre-Qualified will let you know how much you can afford, how much down payment you will need, and what how much you will need for closing costs.  It is always better to be prepared, and knowledgeable when buying in the Fort Smith Area.

Do you go car hunting without knowing how much you can afford?  Do you go and get groceries or shopping without knowing how much money you've got in the bank?  The vast majority of us will answer that No, and the same applies when looking for a house in Fort Smith.

A Pre-Qualification will set you ahead of buyers that haven't.  If you were selling your home and received two offers: 1st offer was from a buyer that hasn't been to a bank, 2nd offer is the same amount, but they've got their Pre-Qualification Letter presented with their offer.  Which would you accept?  Exactly, the one you know has the Purchasing Power!

Once you've got your Pre-Qualification, buying a house is Fort Smith is much easier.  You can be more specific when searching for homes in the Fort Smith MLS.  The important thing is that your real estate transaction goes as smoothly as possible.  This helps you get off to a better start, and you'll be able to shop with confidence.

Professional

I am very experienced with the Fort Smith Real Estate Market, as well as surrounding areas!  When buying a house in Fort Smith, it's important to find a Realtor that understands what's important to YOU.  Give me a call today at 479-414-1894 and remember, "To Buy or Sell'um, Call Ray Nellum!"

This Is What I See... Through Buyers Eyes.

You may see a Money Pit, but I see and investment in my future.

You may see a small Living Room, but I see a place for me to relax after a long day.

You may see a dated Kitchen, but I see cooking a masterpiece for the holidays.

You may see an overgrown flowerbed, but I see planting a strong seed in the community.

You may see a yard that needs some TLC, but I see land that I can call my own.

You may see a dirty porch, but I see a perfect place for a Welcome Mat!

You may see a house that isn't right for you, but I see a place I can finally call MY HOME!!!!

I know it can be difficult to find someone to see things the way you as a Buyer may see things.  I've helped many Buyers turn a house into a HOME.

Thank A Veteran, Independence Day Revisited!!

It is so easy to get caught up in all the daily buzz with much to do about nothing.  I know, it's easy to get caught up in so many things that don't really mean that much.

This Independence Day, I saw so many happy to have an extended weekend.  Happy to be getting together with family and friends.  Happy to shoot off the fireworks!!!  All of that is great, and should be enjoy.  Did we forget the meaning behind Independence Day?  Have we commercialized it so much just like Christmas? 

All that being said, Thank A Veteran!  Our forefathers were willing to lay their lives down for our independence, our FREEDOM.  The freedom that we enjoy today is because of Veteran.  Even the ability to complain about rising Gas Prices, and Blogging (that freedom of speech thing); yes, thank a veteran.

I guess that's why I didn't post this on July 4th.  I didn't want it's meaning to me to be lost.  So today I wanted to thank the Men, Women, and the families of those that are currently serving our great country to protect all of the things we hold true and dear.  I wanted to thank the families of those that have given their lives.  I've got a Son currently serving, and I want to thank him too!!! In general, I wanted to revisit Independence Day and simply Thank You All!  Your dedication and sacrifices are appreciated!!!

Please enjoy the video!!!
