Ashley Watters helps families buy and sell homes across Central Arkansas. VA loan specialist, military relocation expert, and top-rated local REALTOR®.
Are You an eXp Agent Looking to Refer to Arkansas?
If you have a client relocating to Central Arkansas — whether for a military PCS to Little Rock Air Force Base, a job transfer, a retirement move, or a lifestyle change — you need a local expert who will take care of them the way you would. That’s what I do.
I’m Ashley Watters, an eXp Realty agent based in Central Arkansas (Little Rock metro). I’m a military spouse, a VA loan specialist, and a relocation expert who has helped dozens of out-of-state buyers find their perfect home in Central Arkansas. When you refer a client to me, they get:
- An agent who knows every community in the metro — schools, commute times, neighborhood character, price trends
- Deep VA loan expertise — I’ve closed many VA transactions and work with the best VA lenders in the state
- Military-specific knowledge — I understand PCS timelines, BAH calculations, on-base vs off-base decisions, and what military families need
- Professional, communicative service — your client will hear from me, and so will you
- An eXp agent honoring the referral agreement — I take referral relationships seriously
Who I Work With Best
Military PCS referrals: If your client has orders to Little Rock Air Force Base, this is my specialty. I know the base, the BAH rates, the top school districts (Cabot, Sherwood, Bryant), and the VA loan process cold. A military family coming to LRAFB is in the best possible hands with me.
Out-of-state civilian relocators: Clients moving from expensive markets (California, Texas, the Northeast, Florida) who are coming to Central Arkansas for cost-of-living reasons, remote work, family, or retirement. I can walk them through every community option, help them understand Arkansas’s real estate market, and get them into the right home.
VA loan buyers: Any veteran or active-duty buyer purchasing in Central Arkansas. VA loans are my most common transaction type. I understand minimum property requirements, VA appraisal timelines, funding fee exemptions for disabled vets, and how to position VA offers in a competitive market.
Remote/virtual buyers: Out-of-state clients who can’t visit before making an offer. I regularly do video walkthroughs, FaceTime tours, and handle the paperwork logistics for buyers who close without ever setting foot in Arkansas before moving day.
