“Amazing work! Ashley and her team absolutely killed it. Great communication and met all expectations. This is the third home I’ve sold, and I couldn’t have asked for an easier team to work with. She had someone to assist with any and all issues that arose, including getting help with a last-minute move. Thank you so much for all your help.”

“I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional service provided by Ashley and her team. As someone new to the area, I was uncertain about which real estate professional to choose, but the support I received exceeded all expectations. Ashley and her team consistently went above and beyond, demonstrating a remarkable level of dedication and responsiveness. Their commitment to their clients is evident in how they treat everyone like family, and I am truly grateful for their assistance. I will certainly refer Ashley and her team to anyone seeking premier real estate services in Arkansas. I highly recommend Ashley and her team if you want top dollar for your home and peace of mind.”

“Ashley and the rest of her team are phenomenal! My husband and I could not be happier with the services that we received while looking for a new home to fit our needs over a period of about a year. Ashley and her fellow realtors defy expectations with their patience, friendliness, integrity, commitment, generosity, and communication. They worked with our schedule and helped us through many steps in our new-home journey. We highly recommend them!”

“Ashley was the seller’s realtor on the house we purchased, but it felt like she was ours as well! Her communication throughout the entire process was top notch—the best I have experienced with a realtor. She was not only quick to respond to every question, text, or call, but was always so kind. We could tell she truly cares about her clients and making the process as easy and flawless as possible. The amazing service and communication did not stop at closing. Zero complaints, and we would work with Ashley again in a heartbeat!”

“Ashley helped us sell my mom’s house while we were going through probate, and she was nothing short of exceptional. We had an offer within two weeks of listing the house in November, which was such a surprise and blessing. She is patient, walks you through every step of the way, and gives realistic expectations. I knew we were in good hands with her, which was such a relief given the circumstances. She even knows the right people who can help with repairs before selling. I highly recommend her!”

“Ashley was absolutely wonderful to work with as my agent. She was able to sell my home quickly and made purchasing my new home extremely easy. She answered all of my questions and always made me feel like a priority as a client. I would highly recommend using her for all of your real estate needs!”

★★★★★

“We’ve had the pleasure of working with Ashley Cifreo four times—twice as our buyer’s agent and twice as our listing agent—and we wouldn’t trust anyone else with our real estate needs. Ashley is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly goes above and beyond for her clients. Most recently, she helped us sell our home, and we had a solid contract in just eight days. She guided us through every detail of the process, making what could have been a stressful experience feel organized and manageable. Whether buying or selling, Ashley is always professional, honest, and an incredible advocate. Her communication is excellent, and she genuinely cares about getting the best outcome for her clients. We can’t recommend Ashley and The Target Group enough.”

“I had a great experience working with Ashley and her team. As a real estate photographer, I really appreciate working with agents who are professional, communicative, friendly, and creative — and Ashley was all of those things. She made the entire process easy from start to finish and clearly cares about showing her listings in the best possible way. I really enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and thoughtful realtor!”

“Our experience with Ashley as our realtor was top notch and she was very professional. If a 6th star was available, we would post that. Being new to the area, it was nice and comforting to hear from the home inspection service to one of her colleagues that we chose the best realtor around.”

“Ashley is the best realtor we've worked with so far. My husband is military, and we were only able to come down for a weekend to look at houses. Ashley spent the entire weekend with us until we found a house we liked. She's very knowledgeable and really goes above and beyond.”

Pricing with context. Market-wide medians can be useful, but the right asking price depends on location, condition, recent comparable sales, and competing inventory.

Local differences. Searcy, Cabot, Beebe, and the Little Rock metro can behave differently—even in the same month.

Data changes. For newer figures, check the sources below and talk with the team about a specific neighborhood or property.
