When Alicia and Chris moved to Northwest Arkansas in the 1980’s they knew right away they were home. It just felt right and they fit in. Great schools, a vibrant economy, and terrific social and recreational choices give Northwest Arkansas big city amenities with a small town feel. Her love of the area spills over into her career as a real estate professional. She is anxious to show you the things that make Northwest Arkansas the greatest place to live. The Demarest’s love getting out and enjoying what the area has to offer. Whether it’s water sports at Beaver Lake, Razorback Athletics, camping at one of the many area State parks, attending functions at the Walton Art Center or Arts Center of the Ozarks, or enjoying a great night out at one of the fabulous local restaurants, Northwest Arkansas can satisfy most tastes in entertainment and recreation. Alicia and Chris have four children ages 7 to 16. As you can imagine they are genuinely concerned about the community and the schools. The Northwest Arkansas area offers some of the best schools in the state. Local schools consistently receive national recognition for their programs. Facilities are constantly being updated and most offer the latest in technological advances. Springdale completed this year a renovation of the public library, and built a state of the art aquatic park which complements the city park and youth center in the heart of downtown. The Bernice Jones Center for Families includes an ice skating rink, indoor aquatic center, basketball court, theater, numerous meeting rooms and is free to the public. Whether it’s spending time with her family, working on the PTA fundraiser, helping out at the Chamber of Commerce, or working on her career as a leading real estate professional, Alicia likes to have fun. “If you can’t enjoy what you’re doing, and do it with a smile then don’t do it”. Alicia says. “ I think one of the most important things in life are the relationships you develop with the people you meet.” “I love meeting new people”, and helping them find a new home or sell their current home is a great way to meet them. Alicia’s training as a customer service manager has helped her to develop a new and unique system to make your real estate experience enjoyable. Alicia enjoys keeping you informed of the details of your transaction. This enables you to continue to enjoy your busy life and handle your schedule while she handles the technicalities with professional ease. Opportunity abounds here in Northwest Arkansas.
