Aarika was fabulous! She answered my every question and helped keep me calm during this entire process. No matter what time I reached or or what I asked to see she was in top of it. She made this experience less stressful and trust me, I was stressed. In the end we found the perfect home because of Aarika's professionalism, kindness and great attitude and work ethic. I would choose Aarika all over again!

I have dealt with numerous realtors over the years both buying and selling my houses but Aarika has proven by far to be the best I've ever worked with. She is very knowledgeable about the market and if she doesn't know the answer to my questions she is quick to find out and get back to me. This was an out of state buy for me and my first on my own she walked me through every aspect and held my hand when things were difficult for me. I feel I've made my first friend in a new state when I needed on the most. I would highly recommend Aarika Smith to anyone looking to buy or sell anything. She goes above and beyond.

Aarika Smith is the BEST realtor in MS!!!! Best realtor EVER! When I called this woman with my situation and what we had to work with, she IMMEDIATELY got on her job of finding my husband’s and I dream home! She put her ALL into it, even though she knew it wouldn’t be a BIG payday for her, because Aarika doesn’t do it for the money! This is her PASSION! Even through all of the rejections, she coached us through to the next home! We had no time to cry over a rejection because she was already onto something better! I highly recommend this woman to any and everyone looking for a home! Last, but definitely not least, her and her husband made us feel like family, not just another client! I love love love Mrs. Aarika!!

About Aarika Smith
My name is Aarika Smith. I specialize in residential real estate and have an Associate’s degree in Sociology, so people are my specialty. I have worked in the real estate industry for 4 years in mortgage. My husband is a native Mississippian and swept me away to his beautiful home state almost 8 years ago and I love living here! I live in Rankin County with my husband and two daughters. Born and raised in my beloved New Orleans, LA, my transition to Brandon - with its beautiful land, loving people, and tremendous opportunities - was an exciting venture for me and my family. As a proud member of the NextHome team, I provide class-A service to my clients and am committed to working hard for you and your family to work through the sometimes intimidating process of finding that special place to settle into. My customer-care approach involves working with my clients to develop goals, educating them with insights into the housing market and housing values, and proactively guiding them through the homebuying experience. My attention to detail is pretty intense; I am ready to use my fierce negotiating skills on your behalf. I combine my love for the real estate industry with my joy of helping people achieve their dreams for their family’s future. Having parents who used real estate to empower and help others, my passion for real estate grew as I quickly learned the power of homeownership as a pathway to achieving the dream of home ownership and to building generational wealth for families. I am a diehard Saints fan. I bleed black and gold and will happily engage in wisecracks with any who dare challenge the Who Dat Nation. I am a spiritual person, fun to be around and enjoy traveling, volunteering, exercising, hosting parties and events, and spending time with my family and close friends. I consider myself incredibly blessed to have the opportunity to work in the real estate industry with amazing clients achieving great things for families. Let me help you find a home that was made just for you! It's out there, you just haven't told me to find it yet!MLS® Disclaimer
