Sell Now? But….but…
Posted by June | Micky | Valerie on February 18th, 2010
I thought this was a very good article from the National Association of Realtors that addresses the issue of why to sell your home now.
4 Reasons to Sell Now
Selling a property in this tough market can seem like a challenge. Here are four factors that actually make this a good time to post a For-Sale sign.
1. Sell low and buy low. Because all property values are down, the sellers’ loss on a property is really only a paper loss because the next property they buy also will be a bargain. If they buy smartly, when prices come back up in a few years, they’ll be in better shape.
2. Down-payment help is widely available. While nothing-down loans have disappeared, it is easy to find down-payment assistance for lower-income and first-time home buyers. Programs vary all over the country, but one good way to find them is to search online for “down-payment assistance programs” and the name of your region.
3. Your uncle has money to share. Besides the $8,000 first-time home buyer tax credit and the $6,500 move-up credit, there are an array of energy tax credits that can make home improvements pay off in cash.
4. Good help is available. Really talented real estate practitioners, contractors, and designers are available and eager for business.

EXIT Realty is Here… and Growing.
Posted by Larry Robison on November 16th, 2009
Exit Realty is still here and growing. Thursday, November 12th the regional offices of Exit Realty got together to show the unity of the brand in Northwest Arkansas. A group of eighty plus licensed realtors made a commitment to work together through marketing and the sales of properties in Northwest Arkansas.
Rumors abound… actions speak for themselves
It has been said that the attacks of one’s competitors should be taken as a compliment. The rumor being promoted in the street by one particular group of offices state that a smaller regional franchise has bought Exit Realty International. This is most certainly not true. Exit is still here and proud to be a leader in the real estate community.
The offices of Exit Realty will continue to work together to increase the number of truly professional agents and the the selling of real estate throughout Northwest Arkansas and beyond.
The best choice is now EXIT Realty
For people looking to buy or sell real estate, consider your local Exit Realty office. No other franchise or independent brokerage in Northwest Arkansas has the training, the technology, and the leadership to stand toe-to-toe with EXIT Realty. Therefore, no other office(s) can a client’s property as well as the collective offices of EXIT Realty.
For agents looking to make a move to another real estate company, you should also consider your local Exit Realty office. For more information on EXIT REALTY, call 479-636-7777.
