PH Realty Team Welcomes New Agent Matt Rouse to the Team

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 18:24:14 GMT

PH Realty Team is proud to announce the newest addition to its growing team, Matt Rouse, who brings more than 15 years of experience in the housing and remodeling industry to his new role as a real estate agent.

For over a decade, Matt worked in the flooring industry, helping families and businesses select materials that transformed houses into homes. Through this work, he developed a sharp eye for detail, a deep understanding of construction quality, and, most importantly, a passion for helping people create spaces where they feel comfortable and proud.

“Flooring may have been where I started, but it opened my eyes to what truly makes a house a home,” Matt shared. “Now, I’m honored to help people take the next step—whether that’s buying their very first home, selling the one they’ve loved for years, or investing in property here in Texarkana.”

A Natural Transition into Real Estate

Matt’s move into real estate is an extension of the values he has always prioritized in his career: honesty, communication, and dedication. His clients can expect transparency at every step of the process, along with clear explanations and dependable guidance.

“Buying or selling a home can feel overwhelming,” Matt said. “My role is to simplify the process, keep my clients informed, and help them feel confident and excited about their decisions—not pressured or confused.”

Local Roots, Personal Dedication

Born and raised in Texarkana, Matt knows the area, its neighborhoods, and the local community inside and out. He and his wife are raising their young son here, and his personal experience gives him a unique perspective when advising clients about schools, parks, and family-friendly neighborhoods.

Outside of real estate, Matt is passionate about health and fitness, bringing the same discipline and energy from the gym into his professional life. Clients describe him as approachable, patient, and dependable—qualities that often turn professional relationships into lasting friendships.

A Valuable Addition to PH Realty Team

“ Matt’s background in flooring and remodeling gives him an incredible advantage as an agent,” said Lauren Callaway. “He knows homes from the inside out, understands how construction impacts value, and is committed to helping clients make smart, confident decisions. We’re excited to welcome him to the PH Realty family.”

Back‑to‑School 2025: Smart Savings Amid Rising Prices & How Our Teacher Cart Giveaway Helps

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 12:38:26 GMT

As families gear up for the 2025 school year, back‑to‑school is becoming the second-biggest retail moment after the holidays . But mixed in with the excitement is growing concern: new tariffs on imported school supplies and apparel could push prices up across the board.

Stationery and school supplies have already climbed about 30% over the past five years.
Key essentials like backpacks, pens, calculators, and shoes are expected to rise 12–15% this season as imported components become costlier.
Many parents are reacting by shopping earlier—67% had started buying supplies by in July to avoid higher prices.

Why It Matters to PH Realty & Our Community

Tariff-fueled inflation means fewer discounts, thinner bundles, and less room in family budgets—especially for parents and teachers who often help shoulder supply costs. That’s why PH Realty Team is stepping in with our $500+ Teacher Cart Giveaway:

A fully stocked cart featuring gift cards, paper, markers, glue, laminator, pens, sticky notes, and more—all the little extras that classrooms rely on but don’t always make every family shopping list.

What the Numbers Reveal

Smart shoppers are seizing early deals: Families are locking in prices and taking advantage of events like Prime Day.
Budget-conscious families are shifting habits : Nearly 40% are switching brands or stores to cope—and 25% plan to buy fewer supplies this year.
Classroom support is shrinking: Parents may have less to contribute, leaving teachers to fill the gap.

Our giveaway offers a practical boost at precisely the moment when help matters most.

Smart Ways to Save & Support This Season

Shop Early, Save More – Lock in lower prices before tariffs push them higher. Early birds get the best bundles and avoid last-minute markups !

Texarkana vs. Texas: How Our Local Housing Market Stacked Up in 2024

Thu, 10 Apr 2025 15:25:09 GMT

The 2024 Texas Real Estate Year in Review report released by Texas REALTORS® last month reveals that while the Texas housing market remained steady statewide, Texarkana emerged as a standout with stronger price appreciation and increased housing inventory, signaling a healthy shift toward market balance.

Statewide, Texas saw small but stable growth with home sales increasing by 0.7% and median prices rising by 1.2%, bringing the statewide median home price to $339,000. The number of active listings and days on market rose significantly, providing more choices for buyers across many regions.

In contrast, Texarkana experienced a 5.7% decrease in home sales, reflecting a measured cooldown in buyer activity following years of rapid market acceleration. However, the local market also saw a 7% increase in median home price, bringing the median in Texarkana to $200,000—well above the statewide appreciation rate. The price per square foot in Texarkana rose by 3.5%, compared to a 0.7% increase across Texas.

Texarkana also saw a notable 32.2% increase in active listings, slightly higher than the 30.5% increase seen statewide. The average days on market locally extended from 58 to 72, while months of inventory—a key measure of supply—rose from 2.9 to 5.1 months, indicating a shift toward a more balanced housing environment.

“We’re seeing a healthier, more sustainable market emerge here in Texarkana,” said Lauren Callaway , Team Leader of PH Realty Team . “The increase in inventory gives buyers more options and flexibility, while sellers are still benefiting from solid price growth. It’s a great moment for both sides of the market, as long as you’re working with professionals who know how to strategize in this evolving landscape.”

This market transition offers new opportunities for both buyers and sellers. Buyers benefit from reduced competition and increased selection, while sellers can still capitalize on rising home values—particularly with strategic pricing and expert representation.

How to Save on Property Taxes with the Homestead Exemption in Arkansas and Texas

Tue, 01 Apr 2025 14:08:45 GMT

As a homeowner, you deserve every opportunity to maximize your investment—and that includes taking advantage of available property tax savings. If you live in Arkansas or Texas , the Homestead Exemption is one of the simplest and most effective ways to reduce your annual property tax bill.

Here’s what you need to know, how it works in your state, and how to make sure you don’t miss the deadline.

What Is the Homestead Exemption?

The Homestead Exemption is a property tax benefit that reduces the taxable value of your primary residence. By lowering the assessed value used to calculate your property taxes, it helps you keep more money in your pocket—year after year.

Each state sets its own rules, exemption amounts, and eligibility requirements. In both Arkansas and Texas, the exemption can lead to significant annual savings, especially if you're a senior, veteran, or have a disability.

State-by-State Breakdown

Don’t Miss the Deadline: April 30, 2025

Whether you're in Arkansas or Texas , the deadline to file your Homestead Exemption for the 2025 tax year is April 30, 2025 . Filing is free, and the savings can be substantial—year after year.

Backpainted Glass: Where Style Meets Functionality

Wed, 15 Jan 2025 18:53:57 GMT

At the crossroads of elegance and practicality lies backpainted glass - a material that’s transforming modern design. With its clean lines, vibrant finishes, and incredible versatility, it’s no wonder that backpainted glass has become a favorite among architects, interior designers, and DIY enthusiasts alike.

In this post, we’re diving into all the ways backpainted glass can be used to elevate your spaces and how it’s become a star feature in our new PH Companies Headquarters.

What is Backpainted Glass?

Backpainted glass is created by coating one side of a glass panel with durable paint. This process allows the color or finish to shine through the glass, creating a sleek and polished aesthetic that feels both modern and timeless. Whether you prefer bold hues, neutral tones, or metallic finishes, backpainted glass can be customized to suit any design vision.

How Can You Use Backpainted Glass?

The versatility of backpainted glass is one of its greatest strengths. Here are some of the many ways you can incorporate it into your home or office:

Wall Panels: Use backpainted glass as wall cladding to create a smooth, high-gloss surface that reflects light beautifully. It’s perfect for feature walls, office spaces, and even kitchens, where it doubles as a durable and easy-to-clean backsplash.
Dry-Erase Boards: Upgrade your workspace with backpainted glass dry-erase boards. Unlike traditional whiteboards, they offer a sleek, professional appearance and are easy to maintain—just wipe clean for a fresh start.
Desks and Tabletops: Add a touch of sophistication to your furniture by using backpainted glass as a desk or tabletop surface. It’s resistant to stains, scratches, and moisture, making it a practical yet chic choice.
Door Fronts: For a contemporary twist, replace traditional door panels with backpainted glass. Whether for cabinets, closets, or sliding doors, this material adds an elegant finish that blends seamlessly with modern interiors.
Shower Walls: Give your bathroom a spa-like feel by installing backpainted glass shower walls. The smooth surface is not only stunning but also resistant to mold and mildew, making it a low-maintenance solution.
Signage and Branding: Backpainted glass is a popular choice for businesses looking to incorporate logos, brand colors, or custom designs into their office spaces. It’s a sleek way to make a bold statement.

Our Love Affair with Backpainted Glass

At PH Design Firm, we’re so captivated by the beauty and functionality of backpainted glass that we’ve made it a centerpiece of our new headquarters. Our conference room will feature sepia bronze backpainted glass walls, adding a warm, reflective quality to the space that complements our modern ‘70s-inspired office design.

Why Choose Backpainted Glass?

Backpainted glass isn’t just about looks - it’s about practicality, too. Its smooth surface is resistant to stains, scratches, and bacteria, making it a durable choice for high-traffic areas. Plus, its ability to reflect light can make spaces feel larger and more open.

Get Inspired

Whether you’re renovating your home or designing a commercial project, this material offers endless possibilities.

Design Tip of the Quarter: Embrace Biophilic Design for a Serene and Inviting Space

Wed, 25 Sep 2024 18:40:01 GMT

We believe every season offers a fresh opportunity to elevate your space with thoughtful design. This season, we're excited to see a resurgence of one of our favorite design trends—biophilic design. Rooted in the idea that humans have an innate connection to nature, biophilic design incorporates natural elements into our indoor environments, promoting well-being and tranquility.

So, how can you embrace this nature-inspired design philosophy in your home or business? Here are a few simple yet transformative ways to refresh your space with biophilic design principles:

1. Bring the Outdoors In with Plants

Plants are one of the easiest and most impactful ways to introduce biophilic design into your space. Whether it’s a large indoor tree or a collection of smaller potted plants, greenery adds a vibrant, calming energy. Not only do plants boost air quality, but they also create a visual connection to nature that can make a room feel more alive and dynamic.

2. Maximize Natural Light

Nothing beats the warmth and uplifting effect of natural sunlight. To make the most of it, consider opening up your windows, opting for lighter, sheer curtains, or even adding strategically placed mirrors to reflect light around the room. If natural light is limited, artificial lighting can still mimic daylight with soft, warm tones, keeping the space bright and inviting.

3. Incorporate Organic Textures and Materials

Biophilic design isn’t just about what you can see—it’s also about how your space feels. Incorporating organic textures like natural wood, stone, or woven fabrics adds a tactile element that enhances the sense of being connected to nature. Think rattan furniture, a stone accent wall, or cozy wool throws that bring warmth and comfort to your interiors.

Why Biophilic Design Matters

The power of biophilic design goes beyond aesthetics. Studies show that environments filled with natural elements can reduce stress, boost creativity, and even improve productivity. Whether you're redesigning your living room, office, or commercial space, incorporating these principles can make a significant impact on how people experience your environment.

Let Us Help Bring Your Vision to Life

Feeling inspired to refresh your space? At pH Design Firm, our talented design team is ready to help turn your vision into a reality. Whether you want to fully embrace biophilic design or simply add a few natural touches to your home or business, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s create a space that feels as serene as it is stylish.

PH Design Firm Completes the Woodman Residence Renovation: A Perfect Blend of Retro Style and Modern Living

Wed, 25 Sep 2024 17:16:10 GMT

PH Design Firm is excited to announce the completion of the Woodman Residence renovation, a project that skillfully balances vintage charm with modern updates.

Callaway and Patterson carefully restored key elements such as original fixtures, cabinetry, and wallpaper, celebrating the home’s mid-century character. These details were seamlessly integrated into a fresh, modern design that respects the past while creating a vibrant space for the future.

“This was such an inspiring project,” says Danielle Patterson. “The house had a voice of its own. It felt like it knew exactly what it needed, and I was just helping bring that vision to life.” Patterson's approach embraced the home’s existing personality, blending classic elements with new design features. One of the home’s most distinctive pieces is a custom painting of Jerry Garcia in the entryway, adding a playful retro touch that reflects the homeowners' personal style.

For Lauren Callaway, the project also felt like a natural fit. “The retro vibe is one of my favorites,” she says. “It was so rewarding to incorporate that energy into this home while maintaining its original charm. We’re also designing the interiors for PH Companies ’ new headquarters, which will have a similar retro feel.”

The Woodman Residence now stands as a true reflection of PH Design Firm’s commitment to blending eras, creating homes that are as functional as they are visually compelling. The renovation harmonizes the vintage and the contemporary, creating a home that feels both familiar and new. From room to room, the design achieves a seamless flow, where nostalgic elements coexist beautifully with modern comforts.

PH Design Firm’s work on the Woodman Residence highlights the firm’s talent for creating personalized, thoughtfully crafted spaces. Through the collaborative efforts of Lauren Callaway and Danielle Patterson, this home now radiates warmth, style, and a perfect balance between past and present.

Embracing Diversity and Promoting Equality: Fair Housing Month 2024

Mon, 01 Apr 2024 23:04:23 GMT

April marks an important time for reflection and action in the real estate industry as we observe Fair Housing Month. This annual commemoration serves as a reminder of the pivotal Fair Housing Act of 1968 and the ongoing battle against housing discrimination and segregation. As REALTORS®, it's not only our responsibility but also our privilege to champion equitable opportunities and foster inclusive communities.

The Fair Housing Act, passed over five decades ago, was a landmark piece of legislation aimed at ending discriminatory practices in housing. It sought to ensure that everyone, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin, or disability, had equal access to housing opportunities. While significant progress has been made since its enactment, challenges persist, and the need for vigilance remains as pertinent as ever.

As community leaders, real estate professionals play a crucial role in shaping the landscape of housing and promoting fairness and inclusivity. We have the power to influence change, challenge biases, and create environments where everyone feels welcome and valued. By embracing diversity and promoting equality in our practices, we not only uphold the principles of the Fair Housing Act but also contribute to the betterment of society as a whole.

Fair Housing Month serves as a call to action—a reminder of the work that still needs to be done to ensure that every individual has a fair chance at housing. It's a time to reaffirm our commitment to advancing equitable opportunities and expanding homeownership for all. By actively engaging with our communities and advocating for policies that promote inclusivity, we can help break down barriers and build a future where housing is truly accessible to everyone.

In the spirit of Fair Housing Month, let us come together and redouble our efforts to create inclusive communities where everyone can thrive. Let us celebrate diversity, challenge discrimination, and work towards a future where housing is a fundamental right, not a privilege. April is more than just a month—it's a reminder of our collective responsibility to ensure fairness and equality in housing for generations to come.

Join us this April in commemorating Fair Housing Month and let's stand united in our commitment to building a more just and equitable society. Together, we can make a difference and create a world where everyone has a place to call home.

Winter Is Here: Steps You Can Still Take to Protect Your Home

Thu, 04 Jan 2024 06:07:48 GMT

It’s already feeling pretty wintery, but if you haven’t yet prepared for the season, don’t despair. You can still take steps to protect your home.

Check Electrical Plates for Cold Air

Even though they are small, light switches and electrical outlets may be letting in drafts. Because they are placed throughout your home, if they let in just a bit of cold air, you may have dozens of cold spots. That’s why it is smart to choose a cold day to go around your house and hold your hand close to the switch plate or outlet for a few moments. If it feels colder than the surrounding air, you should insulate it. Insulating switches and outlets is a quick and easy process. Check local hardware stores. They should have a variety of inexpensive insulated plates and insulation kits for switch and outlet plates to solve this issue.

Run Ceiling Fans in Reverse

If you have ceiling fans, you can use them to help you circulate winter warmth more effectively. While most people associate ceiling fans with the cooling breezes of summer, most ceiling units allow you to reverse the direction of the blades. Heat rises, and by running your fans clockwise, you’ll enable them to push heat down from the ceiling back into the living space. Some estimates say this simple procedure can reduce your home heating bill by up to 10%.

Block Drafty Doors and Windows

As a homeowner, you know that drafty doors and windows can get chilly. But did you know that the U.S. Department of Energy estimates that the drafts from your doors and windows can waste 5 to 30 percent of your energy use? So, if you’re still feeling drafts from your doors or window, it might be time to start using draft snakes. These simple cloth tubes are filled with insulation or dried beans and are easy to buy or make yourself. Place them on window sashes or under doors to block chilly drafts.

Lower Your Water Heater Temperature

Small drops in water temperature can make a big difference in your energy bill. Some water heaters are set at 140 degrees by the manufacturer or installer. Lowering it to 120 degrees is recommended by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and 120 degrees is a safer temperature for homes with small children. Lowering the temperature to 120 degrees Fahrenheit (or lower) not only prevents scalding incidents but it can also reduce your water heating costs by up to 10 percent.

Quick, DIY Window Insulation

If you find your windows are drafty, you have a few quick and easy options. Try picking up an inexpensive window insulation kit. They use a big plastic sheet similar to plastic wrap that can stretch over the window. Once applied, you use a blow dryer to tighten up the seal, and the plastic becomes taut. When properly installed, window plastic reduces drafts and is almost invisible.

Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors

This one is easy to overlook but takes only a couple of seconds: hit the "test" button on your smoke/carbon monoxide detector. If the alarm sounds - you're good to go. If not, replace the batteries and test again. Replace your smoke detector if fresh batteries don’t result in a proper test.

Wrap or Empty the Pipes and Sprinkler

Make sure your pipes are properly protected. Disconnect your water hoses and make sure you drain any water out of them before freezing temperatures bust them open.

In the dynamic world of real estate, staying ahead of the curve is essential for success. Today, we're excited to share the remarkable journey of Lauren Callaway, a seasoned professional and Broker/Owner at PH Realty and PH Property Management, who recently achieved a significant milestone in her career – obtaining a broker license in a third state.

By acquiring a license in Oklahoma, Lauren has demonstrated a dedication to expanding her expertise beyond familiar territories. This diversification allows her to navigate the intricacies of different markets, offering clients a more comprehensive understanding of the real estate landscape.

Obtaining a broker license is no small feat. Lauren underwent an intensive process, meeting the rigorous standards of Oklahoma’s regulatory authorities. This process includes additional coursework, examinations, and practical experience to ensure that real estate professionals are well-equipped to navigate the specific nuances of the local market. Lauren's commitment to meeting and exceeding these standards is a testament to her dedication to providing top-notch service to clients.

The expansion into Oklahoma not only benefits Lauren but also enriches the services offered by PH Realty. Clients now have access to a broader range of real estate expertise, whether they are buying, selling, or investing in properties in Arkansas, Texas, or Oklahoma. The agency's commitment to delivering unparalleled service remains unwavering, and this expansion aligns with her mission to meet the evolving needs of her diverse clientele.

"Lauren is thrilled to share her thoughts on this achievement. 'Expanding into Oklahoma is a significant milestone for me. It's not just about obtaining a license; it's about the opportunity to connect with clients in new markets, understand their unique needs, and provide the level of service they deserve. I am excited about the possibilities this brings and grateful for the support of my agents, clients, and colleagues.'"

As Lauren embarks on this new chapter, we celebrate her dedication to professional growth and the positive impact this achievement will have on the real estate landscape. The journey to a third state license is not just a personal accomplishment; it's a testament to the commitment of real estate professionals to elevate their skills and better serve their clients in an ever-evolving industry.

Lauren Callaway Receives the Diamond Award of Excellence

Sat, 01 Apr 2023 21:10:43 GMT

In March, Lauren Callaway, Broker/Owner of PH Realty, took home the ultra-prestigious “Diamond Award of Excellence.” Over the last year, she sold over $16.92M of prime real estate, making her one of the area’s top agents.

When asked why she decided to go into real estate, she said:

“I just want to help people who’ve worked hard their entire lives find that little slice of luxury they’ve always dreamed of. I’m humbled to be a part of that process.”

As for the future, the well-respected real estate agent hopes to continue serving clients in a real estate market that — thanks to the pandemic — has seen an increase in home values, bidding wars that are increasing selling prices, and a severely limited inventory. Lauren’s connections, experience, and local knowledge give her an advantage in connecting home buyers with their dream properties.
