Why texting first makes sense
Not everyone wants to jump straight into a phone call with someone they haven't met. A text lets you share the basics on your own schedule, think through your questions, and get a sense of who you're working with before committing to a longer conversation. Courtney Hunt set up this process specifically so sellers in Northwest Arkansas have that lower-pressure option.
What to include in your first text
A short message is fine. Helpful details include:
- The property address or general area (Bentonville, Springdale, Pinnacle Hills, or elsewhere in the region)
- Why you're thinking about selling and your rough timeline
- Whether you've already had the home valued or are starting from scratch
- The best times for a follow-up call
You don't need to have everything figured out. The point of the text is to open the door, not to cover every detail.
What happens after you text
Once Courtney Hunt receives your message, she reviews it and reaches out to schedule a call herself. This isn't handed off to an assistant or a call center. Courtney prefers to talk with sellers directly before any appointment goes on the calendar, so the first real conversation is with the person who will actually be working on your sale.
What the call usually covers
When you do connect, expect a conversation about:
- Your goals for the sale, including timing and any constraints
- A general look at how homes in your area have been moving, based on current data Courtney can pull at that time
- What preparing and listing the home would involve
- Next steps, whether that's a home visit, a market analysis, or simply more time to think
Courtney doesn't use a single number or quick estimate to answer pricing questions over text. Local values shift based on recent activity, condition, and location, so that discussion happens once Courtney has looked at current comparable data for your specific property.
Selling in Bentonville, Springdale, or Pinnacle Hills
Each of these areas has its own draw for buyers right now:
- Bentonville has seen significant change with Walmart's new 350-acre home office campus, which opened in early 2025 and connects directly into the regional trail network. That kind of development tends to keep buyer interest active in surrounding neighborhoods.
- Springdale recently reopened the redesigned 14-acre Luther George Park as a downtown trailhead on the Razorback Greenway, adding to the city's appeal for buyers who want walkable, trail-connected living.
- Pinnacle Hills, in the Rogers area, has direct access to the Razorback Regional Greenway along with an expanding bike-lane network, which continues to attract buyers looking for that lifestyle.
Courtney Hunt works across all three of these markets and can speak to how these local features tend to factor into buyer interest when your home goes live.
No pressure, no automatic booking
Texting Courtney Hunt does not put you into an automatic booking system. There's no confirmation email locking you into a time slot before you've spoken with anyone. Courtney reads the text, follows up personally, and schedules the call based on an actual conversation about what you need.
