One Year Anniversary Thoughts

Thank you central Arkansas!

In the movie Meet Joe Black, Anthony Hopkins’ character refers to the passage of time at his big birthday celebration by saying, “Doesn’t it go by in a blink?” That’s exactly how our team at Capital Sotheby’s International feels about our first year as part of the world’s most successful luxury real estate company—Sotheby’s International Realty.

It was a dream come to true to have successfully attracted Sotheby’s International Realty to Central Arkansas just over a year ago. Our overarching mission to facilitate the delivery of the highest level of professionalism, expertise, and outcomes to buyers and sellers in our marketplace led us down a remarkable path of mutual discovery between this extraordinary and iconic global brand and our already established, locally owned boutique agency. Affiliating with Sotheby’s International Realty enables us to provide unmatched, true global reach and best of class professional marketing to our marketplace.

With our October 2020 launch of Capital Sotheby’s International Realty, a new era of residential real estate facilitation excellence and reach arrived in Central Arkansas. Despite launching in the midst of the most restrictive period of the global pandemic, the outpouring of welcome and support from our collective clients, industry, community, and press was immediate and extensive. From day one, we began assisting local residents with properties around the country and the world—from 30A to Aspen to Madrid—as everyone began to reassess their live, work, and play lifestyle options. We did this while continuing to shepherd the clients we have served for decades with all of their local buying and selling needs.

It has been a profound pleasure for us to hand deliver to each and every client the unparalleled exposure, materials, expertise, and experiences that can only occur with Sotheby’s International Realty. At Capital Sotheby’s International Realty, we deliver luxury at every price point. We are devoted to delivering extraordinary experiences and skilled expertise while exceeding every expectation. In 2022, we look forward to opening doors for you everywhere in the world and in our own backyard. We are here for you every day—down the block and around the world.

Thank you for your wonderful welcome and for providing us our greatest privilege every day! Pop by our office and let’s have a chat. The cappuccinos and bubbly await you!

Arkansas Business: Susan Desselle Sees Stellar Market for Home Sellers

In Local News and Features

In March, Susan sat down with Arkansas Business to discuss how 2020 changed the real estate market, what to expect this year, and other market trends. Below is the article with the link to the feature on Arkansas Business.

2020 turned out to be a big year for residential real estate. Did that surprise you?

It was indeed a record-breaking year for the real estate industry — and definitely for our agency. In 2020, our agency volume was up 48% over 2019 with exactly the same number of agents. Going into 2020, we forecasted a 25% increase based on the sustained low interest rates, the strong economy and forecasts from Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the National Association of Realtors.

When the COVID-19 pandemic began in the United States, we couldn’t tell what was going to happen for the first 30-45 days. By early May, however, it was clear that the market was responding very aggressively. A diminished selling inventory began to shrink even more.

We found that about 1 out of every 4 of our homeowners wanted to buy a different home to better accommodate their family for at-home life, work, school and play. That was a game changer in every way possible.

Through the Doors of Capital Sotheby’s International Realty

In 5020 Kavanaugh

On the southeastern corner of Kavanaugh and Club Road in the heart of the historic Heights neighborhood, the agents of Capital Sotheby’s International Realty (Capital SIR) have found their new home. The stunning, open space that shares a roof with Heights Corner Market, now finds itself home to 13 new faces.

Below the midnight blue awning and through the French front door, you will find yourself in a room decorated in hues of blues, creams, golds, and bright whites. The space is inviting and crisp and clean—and likely buzzing with conversation. This is a space that wasn’t designed simply to house the agents who occupy it—rather, with the skilled and talented eye of designer Jonathan Parkey, of J. Parkey, at the helm, this is a peaceful and inspiring space designed for a community of clients, friends, neighbors, agency team members, and art appreciators. The vision behind the space is one that drives the agency in everything it does: connection.
