It is not uncommon for homes in Green Valley Subdivision to be purchased or inherited by family members, or for parents to live in the same neighborhood as their grown children. From local news anchors to city council members, this neighborhood is a popular area for the movers and shakers of Hoover. Green Valley Drugs, with its old fashion lunch counter and pharmacy, is immediately adjacent to the area, and is the gathering spot for home cooking and gossip.

CLICK FOR DETAILS OF 3325 BROOK HIGHLAND CIRCLE BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA 35242
One of my fondest memories of the beautiful Brook Highland Subdivision off of Highway 280 was working with a very large and lovely family with seven children. Supervising everything from paint colors to furniture and accessory placement, I was able to turn their house into a home. We became great friends, and periodically, I was asked to help with little updates to their home because of my Interior Design background. When a job transfer occurred a few years later, they were forced to sell their much loved Brook Highland home in a slow winter selling season during an economic downturn. With the advantage of professional home staging, their home sold in only 47 days.
Beautiful, livable homes are just one of the things that draw residents to real estate in Brook Highland Subdivision.
As a neighborhood, Brook Highland has wonderful amenities that give this area great appeal:
Directions: From I-459 North towards Atlanta/Gasden via Exit 250, merge right onto U.S. Highway 280 East towards Childersburg. Turn left onto Highway 119 / Cahaba Valley Road and travel 0.5 miles. Enter the subdivision by taking the second left onto Brook Highland Parkway.

What makes a neighborhood a great place to buy? As a REALTOR®, I cannot stress enough the number one rule for home buying – location, location, location! Though this is excellent advice, there are also several other important things to consider when choosing the right home for you in a great neighborhood. Because all homes eventually get sold, it is important to keep in mind these factors that will affect resale:
- Schools
- Short Work and Shopping Commutes
- Curb Appeal
- Number of Bedrooms and Bathrooms
- General Appearance of the Area
- Extra Amenities that Make this Neighborhood Stand Out
- How Fast Homes Are Selling in this Neighborhood
- Price that You Can Afford
Perhaps you do not have children, have no plans to have children, or your children are grown. If you think that good schools will not affect your property, guess again. People will sacrifice almost anything to give their children the finest education, so when resale time comes it will be very important to be in a desirable school district.
Distance to work and shopping can make life convenient and pleasant, or add hours of stress, time, and gasoline costs to your day. Buying in an area with quick and easy access to businesses, shopping, entertainment, and schools will increase your enjoyment of your new home, and likely make your home more appealing when it is time to sell.
Always try to buy the home with the most curb appeal on the block. A charming facade will make you smile every time you pull into the driveway, and will be sure to attract home buyers at resale.
Once you are inside the home, be sure it has the right number of bedrooms and bathrooms for the area. Most people agree that a home needs at least 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms to live comfortably.
The drive into your neighborhood should have a pleasing appearance of neatly kept homes. How well your neighbors maintain their homes will definitely affect the value of your home now, and in the future.
A great neighborhood will often offer extra amenities such as a swimming pool, tennis courts, clubhouse, golf club, walking trails, and community parks. The universal appeal of these “extras” will make a home with great amenities more fun to own.
A good sign that your neighborhood is a great one is how quickly and consistently homes sell in your area. Check recent home sales before you buy. Even in an economic downturn, homes in a great neighborhood will sell if priced competitively.
After location, the most important factor to consider when making a home purchase is how comfortably you can afford the price. If every month is a struggle to make your house payment, you will never be able to truly enjoy your home, so never buy more house than you can afford. Job changes and temporary times of unemployment are sometimes a fact of life, so plan ahead to keep your mortgage payment reasonable enough to allow for savings for a rainy day.
Follow these guidelines to home buying, and you will find the right house for you in a great neighborhood!

A buyer agency agreement is a contract between a Broker/REALTOR® and YOU, as the buyer, which says that when negotiating a purchase, the Broker/REALTOR® will represent YOUR best interests, and will provide you with ADVICE and KNOWLEDGE that will help you make the BEST decision when it is time to make an offer. Without this contract, the REALTOR® always represents the seller. I choose to always work in your best interest. Do not worry. There is no fee for this until we get to closing. A nominal fee of $100 for homes selling up to $100,000, and $250 for homes over $100,000 will be charged by RealtySouth. This will be part of the closing costs, and I will ask that the SELLER pay this for you. Depending on the type of loan that you get, this fee may not apply at all. If I do not find you a home, there also will be no charge.
Another aspect of the buyer agency agreement is how the buyer is responsible to the agent. The terms of the contract are negotiable at the time that the agreement is signed. If you feel that you have chosen the right agent, then a period of 6 months to 1 year would be a reasonable time frame to agree to work with me to allow plenty of time to find the perfect home, and get the loan closed. If you are still a little uncertain, make it for less time, or for one specific property only.
ALABAMA LAW REQUIRES THAT ALL BUYERS KNOW HOW THEY ARE BEING REPRESENTED IN EACH REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION.
Loyalty to me as your agent for a specified amount of time will make my job much more effective and efficient for YOU. If you feel that you have good chemistry with me as your agent, then give me your loyalty, and I will work diligently to meet your home buying needs. This is my profession, and I want to always negotiate the BEST PRICE and BEST TERMS that I am able for YOU. Only as your BUYER AGENT will I be able to do so. My goal is to give my buyer clients the most positive experience they can have because referrals are the heart and soul of my business.
Time is running out for this once in a lifetime opportunity – low interest rates and low home prices.

Jim Caple of ESPN has placed the Iron Bowl at #38 on his list of 101 THINGS ALL SPORTS FANS MUST EXPERIENCE BEFORE THEY DIE.
