THE JEWELER’S TOUCH

A love of community and the desire to make quality jewelry are the forces that have driven Jay Harrison for several years in his roles as owner and jeweler at The Jeweler’s Touch in Heber Springs. “I love small-town people,” said Harrison, who opened his shop in Heber Springs after working and learning under the direction of Bobby Wilkerson, owner of Wilkerson’s jewelry store in Stuttgart. “I was a police officer and a jeweler,” Harrison said. “I worked both jobs.” Harrison carries a variety of watches, including Seiko and Pulsar. But Harrison boasts that he is the only dealer of Black Hills brand gold, saying it is “one of the things you aren’t going to find in the state of Arkansas.” But where Harrison really gets his customers involved is in jewelry design. “Everybody has their own ideas. I make lots of jewelry, and I try to keep everybody in mind with what they like,” Harrison said. It’s all part of Harrison’s main objective. “Making them happy,” Harrison said of his customers. “I like to see them smile.”
Realtor Megan Murray and Stuart Varvil, the owner and principal broker at Varvil Real Estate, hold customer service as their top priority.

Realtors at Varvil Real Estate take pride in providing clients with personalized, small-town service while also giving them access to all the same resources as big-name companies. “We want people to feel like part of our family as soon as they walk through the door,” said Realtor Megan Murray, daughter of the Principal Broker, Stuart Varvil. “We treat our clients with respect and honesty in all our dealings, just like we would treat our family.” Ensuring customer satisfaction is what drives the company to succeed in their small community. “Our main goal is for clients to have peace of mind once they have made the decision to use our services,” Murray said. “We want them to feel worry-free. Real estate transactions can be very stressful, and we do all we can to guide our clients through the process quickly and efficiently.” Meeting new people and forging personal connections, while helping those people obtain their goals of buying or selling a home, are what make the organization thrive. As Murray said, “We work in this business because it is fulfilling to foster community growth, one family at a time.”
