Wayne Camp of CENTURY 21 LeMac Realty

Personal Profile

As a graduate and native of this area, my wife and I have enjoyed its beauty and serenity with the fresh air, 3 major rivers, and 2 large lakes and rolling hills with their everchanging beauty, of the timber, during our 4 seasons.

Upon obtaining my education degree from ASU, I taught in the Mountain Home Public school, as well as becoming director and instructor of the Veterans farm program. During this period, I obtained a real estate license and shortly thereafter began my own Real Estate Company. The following, 50 + years, saw the inclusion of rural land sub-diving and financing, along with the development of Camp Real Estate School.

The school was State wide in offerings of real estate education to licensees, both privately as well as to banks, Colleges, and many years for the Arkansas Real Estate Commission (AREC) and Arkansas Realtors® Association (ARA).

The Camp Real Estate school obtained great success, offering both classroom and distance education. The distance education offerings excelled under the management of my nephew Kyle Camp, who now serves as an Executive Broker and Branch Manager within this C21 firm. During the 40+ years of the school, further educational professional designations were obtained. I was able to obtain the professional industry designations of: G.R.I., C.R.S., C.R.B., and NAR Professional Standards Instructor.

Realtor® involvement included serving in all officer positions of the local board, State Association as President, and the National Association of Realtors® as a member of the board of directors, executive committee member and Regional Vice-President. I was humbled by receiving during my career the honor of being named one year, by the Arkansas Realtors® Association, as the "Realtor of the Year" for the state of Arkansas. During the year as ARA President in 1986, I was able to introduce "Arkansas Special Olympics" into the Arkansas Realtors® community support program. it stills continues to provide both hands on volunteerism, as well as fund raising. It is now reported to be over 3 Million dollars which Arkansas Realtors® have raised up to the present. I was blessed to have served on its board of directors and be the summer games announcer for the Arkansas Special Olympics, in excess of 20 years.

Likewise, I have, and I continue to support the Mountain Home Christian Academy (MHCA). I am pleased to have served on its Board of Directors for 17 years, serving a majority of time as the Chairman, until recently when I personally decided to voluntarily step down from the Board.

I attribute my leadership skills to having been developed early in life by my involvement in FFA public speaking and an encouraging teacher. Likewise, my parents encouraging my involvement in Church, and Church leadership activities, as well as many others who gave me an opportunity to advance the necessary skills.

Of my many blessings, the second greatest blessing in my life is my wife Carolyn of 56+ years and our children. My wife has always been, and continues to be, my greatest daily supporter and encourager in life. However, in first place, being the greatest blessing of all, is having God as my Father and the salvation made available through his Son, Jesus. My wife and I attend the Mountain Home Church of Christ. I have been privileged to have served in multiple leadership capacities within the Church over the years. Working with a mission effort in Haiti for the past several years has seen the caring for several orphans, needy Christians and the drilling of fresh water wells in the rural areas, to prevent the continued diseases of drinking from the polluted steams. Over 35 wells have been drilled to this point with the support from Christians in our area.

I would hope that all I have been, or will involved in, will be recognized as a blessing from God and may He receive the glory and thanks in all things.
