Super excited, this week I had the pleasure of talking to 2 separate families that were looking to sell their homes. Both very unique. I can’t wait to see both of these homes come to market.

Home 1: Recently remodeled 2 bed, 1 bath, 1,092 sqft, with a heated and cooled 1440 sqft shop on 2.6 acres near Shaw elementary

Home 2: Nearly 35 acres in North Huntsville with 3 homes onsite. Probably the best views I’ve seen in NWA with a private spring!

This property essentially is broken up into 3 phases.

Phase 1 - 18ish acres just sold for a little over 1.8ish million dollars
Phase 2 - 14ish acres is under contract and scheduled to close for another 1.4ish million dollars. Currently waiting on the annexation back to Fayetteville to process.
Phase 3 - House and 4ish acres is currently listed on the MLS for 1.95m is also in process of being annexed back into Fayetteville. It’s currently on Fayetteville Utilities and Fayetteville schools so it makes sense.

Super excited for my buyer for getting nearly 32ish acres under contract for 102,500 per acre. When I first met with her, she didn’t quite know the value of the land she owned. Within 4 days we had a multiple offer bidding war. Today, we are the highest price per acre in her market.

Congrats!!!

Anyone else think it’s inhumane that we allow HGTV reruns to air on national television?

Example:

It’s 2019. He’s a professional dog walker making $35k a year. She has a degree in political science and currently makes $20k a year at McDonald’s. This Fayetteville, Arkansas couple has a whopping $100,000 budget and is looking for a 3 bed, 2 bath home near downtown Fayetteville.

They need a short commute to Springdale because gas is at an all-time high of $2 a gallon. A fixer-upper is completely out of the question because their budget is maxed out, and they’ve allocated $300 for new appliances.

It’s hard to argue this one…

On a serious note, anyone else just use a paper towel to soak up the grease and just toss the towel in the trash?

I always tell people the same thing. I don’t care if you buy this house, sell that house, or decide to do nothing. Just be happy with whatever decision you make. I’m not a used car salesman. I’m someone who genuinely wants you to find a home you love or get a value you’re happy with. I don’t care if that takes days, weeks, months, or even years.

Recently, I met with a homeowner (thank you for the referral!!!) to talk about selling her home and roughly 4 acres. After a quick introduction and a tour of the house and property, she mentioned that she also owned the land nearby. In Springdale, land like this can typically sell for $75k-$150k+ per acre depending on the location and development potential. One of the highest comps near her was around $95k per acre. Ironically, that comp came directly from our office and Walt Williams.

After talking through her options, she asked me to reach out to some local builders and see if they would make an offer. She wasn’t even sure she wanted to sell the land, so she didn’t want it put on the MLS. (Yes, we have forms for that too 😂) Within a matter of hours, we had FIVE offers for her 32 acres ranging from about $2 million to $4.2 million.

Here’s the part I really want people to understand… the seller did NOT choose the highest offer. That highest offer would have meant a much bigger paycheck for me, but it wasn’t what was best for my seller. The timeline was extremely long, there wasn’t much skin in the game, there were concerns with the wording of the offer, and honestly, it just didn’t feel like the right deal. So we went with the offer that made the most sense for HER. That’s what I mean when I say I’m not here just to “sell” you something. My job is to give you the information, help you understand your options, and help you make the decision that makes the most sense for YOU. I’m extremely excited for my seller and for our closing in about two weeks!

Thank you again to everyone who continues to send people my way. Referrals mean more to me than you probably realize, and I never take that trust lightly.

Congrats to my buyers and sellers for locking down a great deal. This will be an extremely quick close! On to inspection...

With the new tip culture firmly in place, I’m going to start implementing the tip screen at closing.

Side note, it’s been a crazy market. Some houses are sitting longer than others. Some houses are still receiving multiple offers (I’ve had 3 this week alone).

This property was so unique I was surprised it didn’t sell sooner! The open house on Saturday had nearly a dozen buyers show up. I’m happy to say we were able to get my sellers a great deal and look forward to the next stage of the process!
