Pulaski County Fan Pages: What prompted you to get into the Real Estate business?
Kay Popejoy: When Glen and I first moved to the area in 2001, I worked for the Daily Guide as an advertising representative. I went into a real estate office to service their account and the Broker asked me to consider coming to work there. I thought it sounded fun so I went to school in Springfield and got my license. In 2006 my husband Glen made the decision to become a Realtor when he retired from the Army.
PCFP: After your husband, and business partner, Glen, decided to retire from the U.S. Army, what made you decide to stay in Pulaski County and call this area home?
KP: It was an easy decision to make for many reasons. The people, the beautiful landscape and affordable living to name just a few. We love how this community embraces the service members and their families, that doesn't always happen in military towns.
PCFP: Nationwide, the Real Estate market has taken a beating, but that does not seem to hold true in Pulaski County. What do you attribute this to?
KP: We are fortunate to have Fort Leonard Wood here and that obviously helps keep the market fairly stable. The military is constantly changing and along with that comes relocating so it is not uncommon to list or sell the same home again and again.
PCFP: What sets you and Glen, and Cross Creek Realty, apart from other agents in the area?
KP: The Cross Creek Realty team is constantly working to be as informed as possible. The real estate market, the laws, the forms and contracts are always changing. It is quite a challenge to keep up with all that is going on, but one that we take very seriously. In addition to the education that the state requires, we complete 18 extra hours of continuing education a year. Glen and I feel that being educated, honest, professional, reliable and ethical enables us to provide our customers top quality service!
PCFP: What can someone who is looking to buy, or sell, property do to make the process smooth?
KP: The best way to insure a smooth real estate transaction is to contact an experienced, trust worthy professional such as ourselves.
PCFP: How have you used your Facebook fan page to work for you?
KP: Facebook allows us to reach many people with our listings and real estate updates. Keeping in contact with our customers and other people in the community is key to our business success.
PCFP: What is your favorite hidden gem of Pulaski County?
KP: The natural beauty of Pulaski County. Glen and I enjoy the outdoors , and this area has so much to offer.
PCFP: Is there anything else that you would like to add?
KP: Glen and I pride ourselves on the fact that many of the people that we work with have been referrals from past customers. We would like to say thank you to everyone that has chosen to do business with us and ask that you keep us in mind while talking to your friends & family about real estate.
