The June issue of Arkansas Money & Politics is not taking a summer break — more like a summer boost.
Longtime central Arkansas real-estate developer Kris Upton and his wife, Karen, adorn the cover this month as we focus on real estate. Upton’s RPM Group is celebrating 70 years in business in 2025. Our commercial real estate coverage includes input from such iconic Arkansas firms as Moses Tucker Partners, Cushman Wakefield | Sage Partners, Colliers | Arkansas, Kelley Commercial Partners and more.
On the residential side, we speak with firms such as The Janet Jones Co., ESQ. Realty Group and Lindsey & Associates about how the market has evolved since the COVID-19 pandemic, and Metro Disaster Specialists provides some insight about how homeowners can weather the storm.
Other packages in the June issue include insurance. We will look at the big picture for various components of the industry in the state, feature Dennis Bost’s State Farm agency and J.T. Ferstl of Ferstl Valuation Services, as well as highlight some of the top women in the field.
We also have features on Summerwood Sports’ expansion plans in Saline County and Driftwood Farms’ organic offerings, which can be found on menus throughout the Little Rock area.
And, of course, June is Most Admired Month at AMP. This month, we feature readers’ preferences for “Most Admired Companies” in a host of categories, from bank to roofer.
As always, thanks for reading. Hit me up with any comments or story ideas at hbaker@armoneyandpolitics.com.
