    Member Spotlight -- Ronald Ragon Realty

    Home ownership is the dream of many families, and these days that dream is more attainable than ever in Western Arkansas. Identical twin brothers Ronald and Ragon Clements have been real estate brokers and homebuilders since 1990, and in 2010 Ronald Regan Realty, Inc. started doing business in Van Buren and bringing its residents options for reasonably priced luxury homes. 

    “We take pride in being customer-oriented and offering the highest quality home for an affordable price,” says Ragon Clements.

    Currently, Ronald Regan builds approximately 75 homes per year in the River Valley and Northwest Arkansas. Twenty-five to thirty of these homes are being built right here in Van Buren in the Legacy Valley Neighborhood on Northridge Drive East. The homes range in price from $150,000 to 250,000, and options include several popular “Craftsman-style” homes that are unique to the area. With a new elementary school being built right next to this subdivision and the newest phase featuring 25 lots with larger backyards in an open country setting, it is ideal for growing families! In addition to these appealing features and its prime location, this is one of the few areas in Van Buren still eligible for No Money Down Rural Development Loans. Those interested can visit and tour the neighborhood’s model home, which is open to the public every day.

    In the River Valley, Ronald Ragon Realty, Inc. has editions in Van Buren, Fort Smith, Barling, and Greenwood. In Northwest Arkansas, developments can be found in Prairie Grove and Pea Ridge. In both regions, Ronald Ragon prides themselves on providing customer service from the start of the process all the way to the finish line. They begin by finding their buyers the best financing opportunities in the market. By the end, buyers take the keys to a custom-built home with all the luxury features typically found in more expensive homes, but at a much more comfortable price tag.

    Serving the customer in this way has been the key to Ronald Ragon’s success. It is also the driving force behind their choice to be a chamber member.

    “It has always been our philosophy to support local business and the citizens of our communities,” says Clements. “What better way to do that than through Chamber membership?”
