Your next move is anything but common, so why should your real estate team be? When you work with Kevin and Elizabeth King, expect to get the royal treatment!
After 10 years of being CEO of my household, I jumped into real estate so I could spend more time with my husband and help establish our new company. With just over 7 million in volume in this last year, I am a full time consultant who loves what she does and feels privledged to be able to do what I do. I love this industry. Where else, could I share a desk with my husband, be able to make my own schedule, and make a living spending time with old friends and making new ones? More about my company at www.kingrealtygroup.net
I graduated from the University of Arkansas in 1995 with a degree in Retail Marketing. After co-managing my family's communications company, I began my new job as a stay-at-home mom. If anything in this world can prepare you for the role as a Realtor, and handling all the issues that come with it, being a mother does! I could teach a class in multi-tasking, I wrote the book on handling stubborn children, being "on-call" 24 hours a day, and don't even get me started on my negotiating skills. I am currently a member of the Council of Residential Specialists and have earned the ABR designation. My husband and I faithfully attend NAR covention each year, as well as our state convention.

"We recently relocated to the Ft. Smith area due to a job change and, due to circumstances, had to find quickly find a new home. Elizabeth and the King Realty Group were invaluable in helping us find our new home. She met with us on lunch hours, after hours, and whenever our work schedules freed up some time. Thanks to her help we were able to complete the move as seemlessly and stress-free as could be expected." Scott W
"We are happy, satisfied homeowners thanks to Kevin and Elizabeth King. They are professionals who deserve an "A" all the way, from attitude to appearance. The Kings went the extra mile to make sure we got the home we really wanted. They patiently and carefully helped us search the market until we found just the right house. Then, they were vital when it came to negotiations and making sure we could close the deal. Thanks again to King Realty Group!!" Natalie and Grant Boggs
"We have been so happy using King Realty Group for all of our real estate needs. They sold two properties for us (within one year of one another), one in Oklahoma and one in Arkansas. Both properties had contracts within 30 days of being on the market, and we closed on both properties in a timely stress free manner. They provided us with great marketing techniques, advertising, and potential buyers. King Realty Group has been the most professional Real Estate organization we have had the privilege of working with during our real estate experience, and any transaction we do in the River Valley in the future will include King Realty Group. Whether we buy or sell, they will be the first to know. We want to thank them for the hard work, and helping us take these steps in life." Adam and Jennah Kester
"My husband and I wanted to thank you both for helping us find our dream home. We were amazed at how quickly you both understood our needs and wants in a home and delivered it to us in ONE DAY!!!!! Even after buying the home we were so impressed with your willingness to help us with so many moving in needs that would not have been possible without your help. We thank you again and without reservation will recommend your services to anyone that is buying or selling a home as you both are a wonderful hardworking team. It was our good fortune to have met you both!" Varant and Aimee Arzoumanian
"Elizabeth kept her word from the day that we met her until the day we closed. She took care of everything from beginning to end. Buying this house didn't intrude on our lives because Elizabeth took care of everything on our schedule. The moving truck was awesome. It made transition from our old place to the new one affordable for our family." Butch and Michelle Seaton
