Jeff Kennedy, CRS, GRI, ABR, ASR, SRES, RSPS, CLHMS, EcoBroker - the leader of the team and a Sales Advisor with buyers and sellers.
Originally from Memphis, Tennessee, Jeff discovered at an early age that Hot Springs, Arkansas was the best place to live. After his first trip to Hot Springs in 1970, Jeff continued to visit Hot Springs frequently, and fell in love with the natural beauty of the city. Several years later, Jeff and his wife, Paulia, decided to make a dream a reality and moved to Hot Springs. Jeff has since distinguished himself as one of Hot Springs' leading Realtors. He has more than twenty years experience selling resort and luxury homes in some of the most exclusive neighborhoods in Arkansas. Recognized as a leader in the industry, Jeff earned Million Dollar Guild status with the Institute of Luxury Home Marketing. He understands the unique needs of affluent buyers and sellers, and recognizes the importance of being discreet. The most rewarding part of the job for Jeff is standing alongside people and families during a huge purchase or sale. Fully understanding the magnitude of such a transaction, Jeff says serving as their advisor is truly an honor, aiming to be a pillar of knowledge and striving to absorb some of the tension during what is typically a stressful time for the individuals involved.
