Jeff Kennedy

Energetic

Sales Advisor


I have the privilege of leading our team and serving as a Sales Advisor, working closely with buyers and sellers to navigate the real estate market. My journey began in Memphis, Tennessee, where I was raised. From a young age, I sensed that Hot Springs, Arkansas held something truly special. It was in 1970 when I made my initial visit to this enchanting city, and from that point forward, I found myself irresistibly drawn to its natural splendor. The beauty of Hot Springs captured my heart, and I couldn't resist returning time and time again. Eventually, my wife, Paulia, and I made the decision to turn our dream into reality and make Hot Springs our permanent home. It's an absolute joy to be part of this vibrant community, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to assist others in discovering the magic of Hot Springs for themselves.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I have dealt with Jeff and Paulia for more than 10 years. It started as a real estate transaction and grew into a friendship. I have bought and sold many times, but I have never become friends with any of them except these 2. They are great people and a very good resource for almost anything after the sale. I have used their knowledge of car mechanics locally to do boat repairs. We enjoy their company an...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

As first-time home buyers, we knew nothing about the process. Jeff guided us through everything. He took time to get to know our likes and dislike, and what we wanted in a home. He showed us only the houses that fit our list of "must haves" and didn't waste our time on homes that we would never consider. When we decided on our home, Jeff directed us to local businesses that could assist with the renovati...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Jeff and Paulia have been fantastic with keeping me posted on the status of my father's house by way of weekly reports; I live in Tennessee. It's great to know what the stats are in the area and how many people are looking at the house. They have been very professional and very nice in all the interactions I've had with them. List with them or buy with them, they will treat you right!

True professionals. Do yourself a favor and call them to list or buy. Bought 2 homes through them and will do the 3rd as well. Contacted them initially because they are top producers in the area. Very knowledgeable. Avoid Realtor® “friends” “family” and part-timers. Go with Jeff and Paulia. Go with the pros!
