$19,000 raised for Special Olympics in 1 night by Fort Smith Board of Realtors

2009-02-24T13:56:00.001-06:00

Trivia Night with the Fort Smith Board of Realtors has turned out to be a huge success for raising money for Special Olympics. Last year’s event raised $14,000.

This year, an amazing $19,000 was raised!!

People got teams together for an evening of fun in support of a great cause; Special Olympics! Even in a struggling economy, it’s great to see people come out and continue to give freely with their time and money.

Trivia Night is one event the Fort Smith Board of Realtors supports for Special Olympics. Last year, the FSBOR raised almost $25,000 for the organization, and was one of the largest board contributors in the state!

I am positive we will raise more that $25,000 this year!

The Fort Smith Board of Realtors have raised a lot of money for the Special Olympics, but we know our job is not complete. We’ve got more events during the year to build upon our current amount. So many lives have been positively influenced through such efforts. You can do your part and donate to Special Olympics!

I would really like to thank Brenda Garrett with Bradford and Udouj Realtors! Brenda takes great ownership as our Chairperson for Special Olympics. Her passion and commitment is a testament. “Good People, Can Do Great Things!” The Fort Smith Board of Realtors could NOT have a better Ambassador for Special Olympics than Brenda Garrett. Thanks Brenda!!!

Multiple Offers a Myth in Fort Smith Real Estate Market??

2009-02-19T18:52:00.001-06:00

The Fort Smith Real Estate Market saw the good old’ days of multiple offers and few days on the market. A couple years ago, and everyone loved it.

Are those days long gone? Not totally!

The Fort Smith Real Estate Market still has some very competitive homes on the market, and the Fort Smith Housing Market is getting better.

I just listed a house. A few days later. Baam!!! Kaboom!!! Multiple offers on the table and I’ve got a seller that has some decisions to make!!! Problem? That’s a good problem to have!

Home sales in Fort Smith are down, but not drastically.

If your home is on the market in the Fort Smith area, it is vital that you POSITION your home to sell! You’ve got to do more than just slap a coat of paint on the wall. You’ve got to do more than just plant some flowers in the front yard. My good friend, Lynda Eisenmann has an awesome Blog post pertaining to Position vs. Pricing.

You’ve got to POSITION yourself ahead of your competition! The pricing of your home is very important, but in a difficult market, you’ve got to do everything you can to POSITION your more effectively in a competitive market. You have to POSITION ahead of of your competitors with: Price, Condition, Appeal, and Value. I will cover these key components in a future post.

Multiple Offers are NOT a myth in the Fort Smith Real Estate Market! I see the opportunity for more seller’s receiving multiple offers with the appropriate guidance from a professional Realtor. For more information on how to POSITION you home, please give me a call at 479-414-1894 or email me at Ray@RayNellum.com . Remember, “To Buy or Sell’um, Call Ray Nellum!”

Fort Smith Real Estate, Southfield Heights Market Update

2009-02-12T23:47:00.001-06:00

The Fort Smith Real Estate Market has had it's fair share of ups and downs just like any market. Southfield Heights in Fort Smith has stayed relatively steady. It's important to understand. ALL MARKETS ARE NOT THE SAME. There are area's around the country and in the state that have taken a sad turn for the worse. The same can apply to different area's of town.

The average home sold in Southfield Heights over the past 6 months is $159,966. The average sold price per square foot is $91.91 and 135 average days on the market. The average day on the market is pretty consistent for the area.

So if you are selling, be patient, price it right, and your home should sell. I did say, "Price it Right" didn't I?

Below is a list of homes that are currently on the market and homes that have sold within the previous 6 months. Those familiar with Southfield Heights are aware the subdivision is less than 5 years old, and all of these homes have a 2 car garage.

Is YOUR Agent Lazy??? Fort Smith Real Estate...

2008-07-16T13:09:00.001-05:00

Would 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????

I don't like to do another agents job, nor would I expect one to do mine! My high commitment to service is one of the things my clients value.

I've heard: "My agent doesn't call me back!", "My agent doesn't work weekends.", "My agent doesn't do Open Houses.", "I visited your website because my agent doesn't have a website.", "My agent doesn't have email.", "My agent doesn't have voice mail.", "My agent doesn't know how to text."

You know what you really need to do? You need to get another agent! It's that simple. Fort Smith Real Estate!!! is too complex to navigate through on your own. Your level of expectation should be higher, and honestly; you deserve better.

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!”

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.

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!"

Thank A Veteran, Independence Day Revisited!!

2008-07-08T20:08:00.001-05:00

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!!!

Is Life Really Good??? Life is Good!

2008-06-26T13:27:00.001-05:00

Sometimes Life just stinks! Your business is suffering. Your personal life is in the toilet. You debate whether to fill up your gas tank or feed your family. Is Life Really Good??? Yes it is!!!

Your life/business being good or bad begins with YOU! It is all how you look at it. Gas is too high! Well you could be walking 15 miles in 95 degree heat. Food prices are outrageous! You could be going to bed starving every night. The roof is leaking! You could be living on the streets. It's your outlook, perception, it's just how YOU look at it. Life is Good!

Start with you: Get up off the ground and dust the dirt off your butt. Change your attitude and begin thinking positive. Wake up and say "Life is Good" or whatever your motivational saying that exists at the very core of your soul.

Believe IT: You've got to believe the positive nourishment you're feeding your body, or else it's all null and void. It simply won't work. You can't fool yourself. If you don't believe in yourself and your own philosophy, how can you expect anyone else to? If you buy into "The Market is Horrible." You will begin to believe it and your daily actions will be reflective of a slowing market. Life is Good!
Practice IT: You've got to believe the positive nourishment you're feeding your body, or else it's all null and void. You've got to Practice at being more positive. It's not going to happen over night. Yes, you can be conditioned to be negative, and so many are. Tiger Woods is by far one of the best Golfers the world has ever seen. Yes, he practices! Do you think he goes up and thinks I can't make this shot??? Heck no!!! Life is Good!
Embrace IT: You've got to "talk the talk, and walk the walk!" Get away from the negative people, news, or anything that does not have a positive influence on your life. If someone's down, lift them up. You may need that encouragement someday. Becoming more positive will attract more positive things into your life. Smile!!! You will begin to see positive things in your life and your business. Life is Good!
Take IT home: You've spent the entire day being positive, and encouraging to everyone else. You're tired, drained, and you can't give anymore. Wrong. Take it home! Keep the most powerful of your positive vibes for your "Loved One's!" They deserve it the most. They are there for you through the good and the bad. Don't cheat them!! Chat, play, love, and laugh until your heart is filled with joy. It will be much easier to jump start tomorrow. Life is Good!

How does this apply to Real Estate? Simple, if your attitude and outlook is negative, then so will your business. If you're a seller and you don't listen to your professional and make the positive changes to make your home sell, then your home will just sit on the market. If you're a buyer and you think

you'll never find the right home, or you're always looking for something wrong in a house, you won't be able to enjoy the benefits of owning your own home. Your life and perception are what you make it! Make it a positive one!

Life is good my friends!!! Now go out and live it to it's fullest. "Shoot for the moon! Because even if you miss, you are still among the STARS!!!"

LIFE IS GOOD!!!
