RE/MAX Agents All Smiles As They Tour Agency Home Listings


RE/MAX Tours Own Listings
Sometimes it’s the little things that make the difference in getting a home sold. RE/MAX of Hot Springs Village recognized this a long time ago and has put in place a 5 Point Selling Strategy to ensure their customers get the upper hand when it comes to marketing their house. RE/MAX has now raised the bar by putting in place a bi-weekly “Homes Tour” exclusively for their listing customers.
RE/MAX, recognizing how important it is to become familiar with available home inventory, has instituted an exclusive RE/MAX Homes Tour. Every two weeks, RE/MAX agents take part in touring eight to ten new RE/MAX listings. “Touring our own listings has given our RE/MAX agents a distinct advantage in that we have become more intimately familiar with our customer’s homes,” said Jeff Hollansworth , owner of the agency. “With our 38 full-time agents reviewing each house we are better able to match buyers and sellers based on their specific needs. Our customers also like the confidence in knowing that all 38 of our agents are focused specifically on their listing and getting a Sold sign in the yard!”
The results speak for themselves as RE/MAX has just recorded the two best months of the year for June and July. “The past two months, we have contracted for sale in excess of a house per day,” said Hollansworth. “This is beginning to feel like the more robust real estate market we left way back in 2007. In fact, in July RE/MAX participated in over 25 home sale transactions representing over 80% of the total Village home volume sold.”
If you’re considering selling your home, place your Trust with the company that has sold more Village homes for 15 years in a row – RE/MAX of Hot Springs Village !!


Villagers Will Visit Trails From Home Computers

Jessieville EAST students help map and record where plots are located at Shiloh Cemetery. From left, Jessica Buford records the tombstone's information, Marina Sweeten photographs the plot, Austin Araco documents the work, and Joseph Herrington and Paige Williford look at the cemetery's map. (Holly Dasté photo) Hot Springs Village trail enthusiasts or home-bound seniors will appreciate the work being done this summer by Jessieville High School's environmental and spatial technology students.
Jessieville's EAST program, under the guidance of facilitator DeAnn Bliss, was awarded $10,000 to fund two EAST Integration and Community Enhancement projects.
One project, "Following the Trail," includes making virtual reality tours of three of the more-popular Village trails.
Students Austin Araco, Hunter Griffin, Caci Herron, Matthew Trostel and Michelle Trostel have used global positioning system devices as well as advanced software to create virtual tours combining panoramas, pictures, video, audio and objects in 3D.

Jessieville EAST students are creating virtual reality tours of some Hot Springs Village trails. From left, Hunter Griffin plots the site on a GPS device, Austin Araco documents the work, and Caci Herron photographs the trail view. (Holly Dasté photo) The virtual tours can then be placed on a digital trail map, where viewers can click on a certain area of the map and get a 360-degree view of the trail from that spot.
The students are creating tours of the Cedar Creek Nature, DeSoto Multipurpose and Hernando trails, which will be available to view at www.jvilleeast.org/ hsv_trails upon the project's completion.
It is hoped that the tours will also be available at http://www.hsvpoa.org/.
The second project Jessieville EAST students are completing under the EICP grant funds is Shiloh Cemetery on Highway 7, just north of Home Plate.
Again using GPS devices and virtual-reality-tour software, students Jessica Buford, Joseph Herrington, Marina Sweeten and Paige Williford are plotting where each tombstone is located at Shiloh, a cemetery that is not organized in definable columns or rows.

Jessieville EAST student Michelle Trostel photographs a Village trail view as part of the virtual reality tour. The idea is to help visitors quickly find a headstone without having to walk through the entire cemetery.
Using CemEditor, a specialized software program, the students collect data and photos of each tombstone.
After plotting Shiloh, EAST students will help other local cemeteries, such as Rock Springs, Green and Mountain Valley, create detailed maps and information for its visitors.
The EAST Initiative is an educational model that is engaging students in sophisticated service-learning projects that involve relevant teamwork and cutting edge technology.
The EICP program leverages EAST program capabilities with community needs outside of the traditional school day.
"The EICP program is a wonderful extension of the non-traditional learning opportunities that the EAST program offers more than 13,000 Arkansas students throughout the school year," said EAST president Matt Dozier.
"The students spend up to six weeks of their summer focusing on a project within their community, honing their problem-solving skills and sharpening other skills such as leadership, teamwork, marketing and their understanding of technology.
"It's almost like getting a full year of EAST crunched in to a smaller time frame, and it serves as a tremendous launching pad for larger projects and the students' ongoing relationship with their communities."

Chamber honors business excellence

Jeff Hollansworth of Re/Max of Hot SpringsVillage accepted the Hot Springs Village Area Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year award on behalf of 40 employees.

"Thank you so very much. This is about the 40 agents who have been so diligent and gotten involved in your lives and in the life of the Village.

"We're having a paradigm shift. This is no longer a retirement community. People looking to move here are asking us, 'Where are the jobs? Where can I get work?' The chamber will play a huge role in answering that question."

The event was catered by Home Plate Café with the invocation given by Tim Culbreth of Teen Challenge. Several young men from Teen Challenge comprised the wait staff.
