Real estate magnate Harold Crye, co-founder and CEO of Crye-Leike Realtors the fifth largest real estate firm in the nation, sees big possibilities in Northwest Arkansas.

 

When the tall, confident businessman came to town in March 2007, he laid down a $10 million bet that he could be a major player in this highly competitive market.

 

Crye, an Oseola native, said anyone who thinks big, has to be in Northwest Arkansas. So he and partner Dick Leike expanded here as the firm already ranked No.1 in Little Rock and among the top firms in Memphis.

 

He said at the time he didn't expect to make a dime in this market for the first three years, but Wednesday (Jan. 30) Crye said the region's performance has more than exceeded his original expectations.

 

"We knew this was a competitive place to do business, but we committed to be here for the long term and it's paying off nicely," Crye sa...

More than 2,800 real estate agents from across Crye-Leike's nine-state southern region recently gathered at the company's annual kick-off meetings to celebrate the best sales Crye-Leike has seen in five years.

 

With the real estate market improving each month throughout the year, Crye-Leike finished 2012 strong with $4.5 billion in sales volume with agents companywide working hard to sell 28,065 properties.

 

"For the past few years prior to 2012, Crye-Leike had been holding steady along the 3 billion in sales mark and we couldn't meet our goal to break through and achieve 4 billion in sales," said Crye-Leike Cofounder and CEO Harold Crye.  "In 2012, we were pleased to far surpass the goals we set for the year with companywide sales up nearly $700 million ahead of 2011 figures."

 

Crye adds, "We were happy to celebrate wi...

Chattanooga, TN., - Crye-Leike Chattanooga Realtors Donna Darnes and L.D. Housley are teaming up with loan expert Becca Pool with Mortgage Investors Group to bring over 40 years of real estate knowledge together to help people prepare to participate in the great American dream of homeownership.

 

"We are excited to be hosting free and educational homebuyer's seminars to inform the public about the opportunities that are available for them to become a homeowner," said Crye-Leike Realtor Donna Darnes. "Many people think they cannot buy because of credit scores, previous bankruptcies, foreclosures or down payment requirements. So many people think they have to have 20% down, a 700 credit score, or wait 4 years after bankruptcy. These factors are not always the case and many people would be quite surprised at their options."

 

The free homebuyer seminars will be held on the fourth Thursday of every month at 6:30pm at the El Meson Mexica...

Hard hit by the economic downturn, Memphis is one of those places with just enough resilience to pull through no matter what. As evidence of this Tennessee's  biggest real estate player, Crye-Leike, has announced their best sales year in some time. Who says there's no money in real estate these days?

 

A story in Memphis's Commercial Appeal Monday revealed a Crye-Leike better than $700 million in sales ahead of where they were in 2011. Last year Crye-Leike agents sold some 28,065 units across several states to the tune of about $4.5 billion. So, co-founders Harold Crye and Dick Leike showing up at a gala at the Holiday Inn-University of Memphis ballroom (image above) was no hollow celebration. Sales awards flew, as did spirits, and the firm's spokespersons told us Crye-Leike Memphis Realtors sold $1.2 billion in 2012 selling 7,681 units (properties) which marked  a 22% increase in both volume and units over 2011 figures.
