Relationships Are More Important Than Transactions
You may have noticed that many real estate agents take a transactional approach to sales—identifying clients, closing the deal, and then moving on to the next one. I choose not to work that way because I believe you deserve more from the professional you decide to work with. That is why I work by referral.
Since my primary source of new business is referrals from people who know and trust me, I
don’t have to spend precious time prospecting and promoting myself. I can dedicate myself fully to the activities that benefit you most, and always deliver truly exceptional service.
When you come across an opportunity, I appreciate you referring me to great people like yourself, who would benefit from the excellent service and personal attention I provide.
I devote myself to serving the needs of my clients before, during and after each sale.
I hope you will turn to me for help with any of your real-estate-related needs because it is such a privilege to work exclusively with people like you who I admire and respect, and who value the service I provide.

Karen’s hard work and dedication to finding us a home really separates her from other realtors. This was our first home purchase, and we had 100 questions every other day, and Karen was always there to make sure we knew what was ahead for us. She’s diligent, smart, and one of the hardest working people I’ve ever met, and I’m glad we were able to do business together!

Karen Hammonds is by far the very best realtor/broker there could ever be. Very professional yet personable. She went over and above what I could have possibly expected. I can’t thank her and her husband for all their support during this critical time in my life. I would not only recommend her services but feel like I have a friend for life. She is welcome at my home anytime. Can’t wait for her to come visit. Thanks again for keeping me calm thru it all. Miss you already.

So you wanna know about Karen Hammonds aye? Well, let's just say she's patient. Like super super patient. She stuck by me through all the ups and downs until I got my new home. And trust me, dealing with my lender wasn't easy by no means. She would even show me homes at 830 at night if needed. She's the most amazing realtor I have ever dealt with. I 100% recommend her to anyone that is in need of a home. She's the most amazing, nicest person ever.

Karen and her husband are a great team. They took beautiful photos of my house and their knowledge of construction is vast.
My home is in one of the top school districts in Arkansas in which a family with children would be quite comfortable sending their children to.
Karen was especially patient with me when I didn't understand certain aspects of selling my home, sometimes I repeated questions.
She is professional and hard working. A pleasure to work with!

Michael Golden recommends Karen Hammonds

Karen did an amazing job. First and foremost, she was extremely patient. We looked at dozens of houses over six month or so, possibly longer, helping us wait to find the perfect house, and helped us navigate the confusing world of purchasing a home. She was professional, but also relocatable, and didn't pressure us to buy something we did not want, which she easily could have as we were first time buyers. She made herself available at almost all times, including weekends which we were not expecting. Overall an amazing lady and i highly recommend her.

Reginald Coles recommends Karen Hammonds

Karen started off this transaction with a transparent and "can do" attitude. She told me up front about her history and experiences, particularly in regard to my specific property. That impressed me. She did the most important thing though- She gave me regular updates on my property, regardless of whether I had offer or none. She just made sure I know that she had not abandoned me after signing the listing agreement. She rightfully charges top dollar but she is earning it. That's why she and her team are still working for me now. I strongly recommend her.

Brad & Alice McKinnon recommends Karen Hammonds

Karen and her team are amazing! From start to finish, they made the home buying process as easy and efficient as possible. The NextHome team was available to answer any questions or concerns we had, no matter the time or day.

I was living in Minnesota and then was transferred down here to Texarkana for work. Instead of having to go through a lot of struggle trying to find a new home, I was lucky enough to have Karen as my realtor. If you are looking for someone that will do any and everything to make buying a new home as easy as possible, she is the realtor you need! She went above and beyond to make my families home search end successfully. 5 stars is to low for her in my opinion. I highly recommend her to anyone that wants the best around.
