My name is Telicia Wade Perry, a real estate enthusiast with a lifelong love affair with the world of properties and homes. Born in 1974, my journey began in a crib nestled within the walls of a bustling real estate office, setting the stage for a lifetime passion in the industry. After school, my playground consisted of old blank contracts and checks, fostering a unique childhood where the foundation for my real estate career was laid. On days when I went out with my Dad, we would walk miles of properties planning where roads would be built and looking at possible building sites. We spent weekends spelunking in wild caves and sometimes mapping them. I spent the summers working in the office typing letters and sending out brochures. Graduating from Flippin in 1992, I set sail to Arkansas State University Jonesboro, diving into the world of International Business Studies. I am a real estate professional with a global perspective, holding an esteemed degree in International Business Studies from Arkansas State University in Jonesboro.
The corporate world beckoned, but my heart yearned for travel sans business suits. From the vast landscapes of the USA to the sandy beaches of Mexico, the cultural richness of Spain, the Down Under adventures in Australia, and the tropical allure of the Caribbean – I've explored them all. My love for travel led me to open my home to exchange students from around the globe, hosting ten in total. My heart finds solace in the seas, as cruising becomes both a hobby and a way to explore the world.
Family plays a significant role in my life, with two wonderful children. One is currently navigating the challenges of college life, while the other has embraced the workforce. This dynamic blend of personal and professional experiences shapes my understanding of diverse real estate needs. Animals hold a special place in my heart, and my menagerie boasts a diverse array – from dogs and cats to parrots, sugar gliders, bearded dragons, horses, goats, sheep, rabbits, geckos, hedgehogs, raccoons, possums, skunks, and more. If it needs a "mom," I'm there!
In 1999, I officially entered the world of real estate, joining my parents' office where I obtained my broker's license and handled rentals and the everyday issues that come with being an agent. I was the “go-to” to help fix things from property descriptions to owner financing options. In 2013, the path led me to ERA Doty Real Estate, a place where I've thrived and grown and began my property tours spanning the top third of Arkansas.
ERA Doty provided the tools and classes to feed my hunger for knowledge, allowing me to soar in the industry. I've had the privilege of working with incredible individuals, amassing awards such as Realtor of the Year 2021, Top 1% of Selling Brokers in the Nation for Units Sold, and consistent recognition in the top tiers of ERA's selling brokers since 2015. Locally I’ve been awarded volume awards every year since I’ve come to ERA Doty.
My dedication to the real estate industry has been recognized with multiple local MLS awards, a testament to my commitment and expertise. As a proud member of the Arkansas Realtors Association (ARA) and the National Association of Realtors (NAR), I actively contribute to the real estate community. In 2024, I was honored to be invited to attend the Graduate Realtor Leadership Academy (GRLA), marking a milestone in my commitment to professional development.
