Sally Adams

Sally Adams’ story is inseparable from Lake Hamilton. In 1962, her family relocated from Texas to Hot Springs, Arkansas, a move that introduced her to a way of life that would ultimately shape her career. Her father, a retired American Airlines pilot, founded what is now known as Hot Springs Marina on Lakeland Drive, placing Sally at the center of one of the lake’s earliest boating communities. Summers spent among outboards, pontoon boats, and shoreline explorations built a lifelong connection to the water and a deep understanding of the lake’s evolution.

By 1970, her father expanded into development with Twin Points Condominiums, one of the first HPR developments on Lake Hamilton. While Sally was in college, she watched rustic lakeside living transform into modern waterfront communities. It was during this time her father offered advice that would prove pivotal: “Get your real estate license.”

Sally’s professional path has been diverse and distinguished. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Professional Aviation from Louisiana Tech University, piloted in the final official Powder Puff Derby, and later flew corporate aircraft for GTE. She also spent more than a decade as Lab Director and Flavor Chemist for Grapette International, blending science, leadership, and precision.

In 2009, Sally returned to real estate, eventually narrowing her focus to lakefront properties and vacation rentals after gaining valuable experience in the auction business. Today, she serves as Executive Broker for the Lake Homes Realty Hot Springs office.

With firsthand knowledge of Lake Hamilton’s past and present, Sally offers clients unmatched insight and guidance. She believes Hot Springs is in the midst of an exciting boom and that there has never been a better time to become a lake homeowner. Of all her careers, helping people find their place on the water is the most rewarding, and she remains grateful to call Lake Hamilton home.
