Whether it will be your first home, or a new home it is important that you understand the basics behind listing statuses. Listing statuses describe where the property is on a scale from just hitting the market to sold. Because there are only small differences between some of the listing statuses, it is important when looking for a home to know the terms so that you can take advantage of great homes as soon as they hit the market. Real Estate lingo is not hard to master and working with a Real Estate Agent will make the process that much easier.Below, you will find two of the most popular real estate terms used to describe the listing status of a home for sale in Arkansas. Active When an Arkansas house is in Active status, it means that the property is currently on the market and for sal...

My story started a little unconventionally. After sitting through several closings as a child and riding around in the back of Realtor’s cars, I became educated in real estate years before I ever considered it as a career. As a young girl, my family moved several times both across the country as well as around town but regardless of the place, my family and I were never wowed by the service we received. In college, I started a marketing company for small businesses where I worked to help them increase their reach and repeat business. But after college I was torn, I did not know what I wanted to do. A non-profit marketing job literally fell into my lap and off to the corporate world I went. Although I loved it for a few months, after a while, I lost the fullfillment and frankly could not...

The other day, I was contacted by a young married couple who oddly enough, currently live in the same apartment complex that I did before becoming a homeowner (and Realtor) myself. They explained to me that now that they are married, they are interested in learning more about homeownership and how to get started!This triggered a thought. Before my rent increased higher than I could pretty much afford, I did not understand the pros and cons of home ownership versus renting. There are many reasons why I believe people make the transition from renting to buying a home. With that being said, there are still some situations where renting may make more sense. So let’s get into it – Renting vs. Buying: Pros and Cons of Each.

 When shopping for jumbo loans to finance high-cost homes in Arkansas, most lenders require 10 or even 20 percent down payment. Financing a home selling for $1.5 million, that would mean a down payment of $300,000 and a loan amount of $1.2 million. Some banks even ask for more down payment, especially when the loan amount approaches $2 million. When financing jumbo homes and borrowers do not wish to make such a large down payment, there are other options that are very competitive. The jumbo loan program that asks for the lowest down payment is normally offered in either a single loan or a combo loan option. With a down payment of 5% on a $1.5 million dollar home, the down payment amount is just $75,000 resulting in a single jumbo loan of $1.425 million. The dual loan option, sometimes r...
