About Washington County, AR

If you did not see the Joplin Extreme Makeover edition of Extreme Makeover Home Edition - be sure to visit their WEBSITE.

I am a top Realtor in Northwest Arkansas and when these tornadoes hit in Joplin, which is so close to home, our community was extremely saddened by Joplin's loss. In fact, many in our Northwest Arkansas community went to help out our neighbors in need. I was so excited when I heard that Extreme Makeover Home Edition was going to help families re-build their homes and their lives. I watched the show last week and I have to say I had tears in my eyes. What an amazing show!

Here are pictures of the finished homes.

The people in Joplin's lives have forever been changed but what an amazing story - so many people and communities surrounding Joplin pitching in to help...

Since Extreme Makeover Joplin aired on TV, I have been asked by Northwest Arkansas buyers where they could find homes built in NWA, similar to those that the wonderful builders of the Joplin's "Seven in Seven Days". Well - crazy enough I happen to represent a community in Fayetteville, AR where the homes very similar to those I saw in the show.

The Paradigm Companies in Fayetteville, AR is building a community of new, authentic, craftsman-style homes for sale called Oakbrooke. Oakbrooke is a true "community"; complete with old world charm and character... The homes of Oakbrooke, however, were not built in 7 days... Each home is designed by Paradigm staff architect and designers. Each home is thoughtfully planned and designed for each individual lot. The homes of Oakbrooke are of the highest quality construction and are the most energy efficient available on the market. And, no two homes will be the same – no “cookie cutter” houses.

Best police excuse…

I heard this from a pastor so I’ll take it to be true. As the story goes an officer was working the late shift when he observed a vehicle approaching a stop light. With his experience he knew the vehicle was not going to be able to stop. Yep there it went right through the light. When he stopped the vehicle a petite young lady was driving. He immediately saw she was not intoxicated. So he asked her for the drivers’ license, registration and insurance. Then the important question actually two. Young lady did you see that the light was red and if so why did you run it.

Are you ready for the answer?

OK here we go. She told him she had just got her brakes replaced and they had cost a small fortune and she did not want to wear them out……J

I’m a “litterateur” I bet you are to.

Yes I’m proud to say I’m one of these. However, I bet ya you are one to. How do I know this well for one thing I just know? Can’t give away why just now but I do bring things to you every day that I hope you enjoy. The meaning of (lit’er a tur’) is a literary man; man of letters. We know letters and letters like in an alphabet are selected to form words and words form Wordsmith. If you make a comment on a post or write a blog you to are litterateurs. Aren’t words wonderful? What say you?

I’ve met a “skellum” have you?

Yes sir I’ll be the first to admit I have met one of these. I tried to do the deed but I couldn’t get it done. There is another meaning to this word and sometimes we are face to face with this person. I’m curious on how you deal with this personality. The meaning of (skel’em) is one deserving to die (my guy) second meaning a rascal; rouge; scamp. So have you met a rascal or scamp? What say you?

Have you ever had the opportunity to meet a “bedlamite” person?

Why did I say have you ever had the opportunity to meet one of these people? If you have you know what to look for and avoid them if they are on the street. Now don’t go getting up in arms against me I’m not saying all of these peoples are violent. Do we need to keep them locked up well it depends on the individual doesn’t it. The meaning of (-it’) an insane person; madman. Some would say that being in this business we are bedlamite and sometimes I would agree. Now what say you?
