Stitt Energy’s Best Practices/Projects In ProgressFor every home, Stitt offers our very best. That means you receive the best – before, during and after we have helped design &/or build your home. It is standard practice for us to do these things, not the exception. Can you say the same for your builder? If not, contact Stitt Energy Systems today. Best Practices Location and Management of the Building Site: Different climates will influence the design and orientation of your home. If your home will be in the northern part of the country, you should maximize the heating efficiency of the structure. If your home is in the far south, you should maximize the cooling efficiency of the home. Many homes utilize both heating and cooling systems and so are in “mixed climate” areas. Most of our homes are designed for and built in such mixed climate areas. The actual site of the home often controls many decisions you will make. Is the lot an infill lot with nearby neighbors or covenants to consider? If so, be sure you are aware of any property owner association requirements before you begin the design and planning process. Is the site rural with multiple possible locations? If this is the case, then you have much more flexibility in siting your new home. Stitt Energy’s Pre-Design Site Visit: During the design process, all these factors are considered when creating the floor plan that works best for you and your family and sits well on the site. Stitt Energy’s Construction Prep: Stitt Energy - After Construction: Best Practices Stitt Energy Tests Your Home: Stitt Energy Exceeds Standards: Stitt Energy is Available for You: Best Practices Designing a Home: Stitt Energy’s Design Brainstorm Meeting: At this very first meeting, we discuss the different structural and material options and how they will help you achieve a very energy efficient home. This aspect of the design is not an afterthought but rather an integral of our approach to giving you the home of your dreams. The Design Team then takes your ideas, clippings and the very important information taken from the pre-design site visit to the drawing board. Drawings are created taking into consideration everything that was said at the brainstorm meeting and all the energy and green features that are our trademark. Stitt Energy’s Preliminary Drawings: Sometimes a second or third meeting is required before the floor plan is finalized. It is much easier to make changes on paper than to a structure, so we encourage careful thought about what the house will look like and how it will function.

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.
Read more about Oakbrooke here & be sure the visit their website @ www.OakbrookeNWA.com & "LIKE" our Facebook Page @ www.Facebook.com/Oakbrooke
For more information regarding homes for sale in Oakbrooke, or if you are interested in discussing building a home in Oakbrooke - email me... or call/text Nicky Dou @ 479.236.3457
& a big thanks to the Extreme Makeover Home Edition for helping out so many families in Joplin and across the United States! What a blessing you have been to so many.
Painting is a hobby of mine that I do late at night when all my Real Estate obligations have been met. I began painting about 6 years ago after my husband and I opened up a small boutique real estate company and began furnishing it with ART. I decided - after purchasing a few paintings that "I could do that". I have always been pretty creative and love color, design, and all things "beautiful". So I began my journey of "becoming an "ARTIST".
In 2011 I entered my first Art Contest. IO Metro which is an awesome furniture and art store based out of Northwest Arkansas had a LOCAL ART CONTEST via their facebook page. Over 2000 artists entered the contest and 25 works of art were chosen. I WON! My ART will be featured in all of IO METRO's stores across the United States and online. You can view and purchase my artwork for sale @ IO METRO HERE
I have since then been commissioned to paint some original paintings - both Abstract and "kid-art" (vintage looking baseballs, footballs and rockets). I really enjoy painting and it has been fun to be able to do both real estate and become an artist at the same time! I live in Bentonville, Arkansas and if you are not aware - Bentonville just became one of the hottest places for American Art in the world! Check out Crystal Bridges Art Museum.
Below is a little slideshow of some of my artwork. If you are interested in a "Nicky Dou original piece of art" please contact me via email @ nicky@nickydou.com
