Always striving to be the best Realtor® Birmingham has to offer, and backed by RealtySouth, the top real estate company in Birmingham, which controls the inventory and the home sales market, you may rest assured that these forces make a powerful team to get your home sold.
Anyone can place your home in the MLS, put out a sign, and hold an open house, but I can offer the most effective marketing strategy of all – High Visibility Internet Marketing. I am consistently on the first page of Google’s search results for the most searched phrases pertaining to my market, and my website gets thousands of visitors each month.
Did you know that according to the National Association of Realtors 94% of ALL residential transactions begin online? What should be abundantly clear then, is that the higher the rank of the website for the specific phrases that are actually being searched, the more chance that your property will be exposed to the right buyer. This website is a top ranked real estate website for the over the mountain market, and growing each month. On just this one site think of how many more times your listing could be viewed. In addition, RealtySouth.com is the top corporate website in this market.
When listing with me I will:
- Take numerous photos of your home and present them with the artistic eye of a former interior decorator. Also a $200,000 home will be treated with the same care as a $600,000 home. (Special luxury properties will have professional services and tours.)
- Place your listing on numerous highly rated websites.
- Place your home on Social Networking sites.
- Prominently feature your home on my personal websites, including greathomesalabama.com, with page 1 rankings for many of the most searched phrases.
- Allow you to benefit from the hundreds of hours of time, money and research that I have personally put into my sites in order to get these top search engine rankings.
- Provide PERSONAL ATTENTION to your home’s presentation, because I believe that a REAL UNDERSTANDING of the internet marketing process makes me ahead of the curve.
- Be able to design the best possible marketing strategy for your home based on the current market conditions, and have the knowledge and flexibility to change it at any time should the need arise.
The following is a list of websites on which your listing will appear should you list with me:
As an added bonus for listing with RealtySouth, a complimentary AHS Home Warranty is provided for each home during the listing period. This gives homeowners peace of mind concerning most repairs that might occur while marketing their home. Please see an example below of the latest letter of thanks for offering this service, and what it meant to my listing clients:
Hi Shannon,
Just to let you know- the warranty people scheduled us for a service call. They showed up on time, and rectified the issue. Granted, it was nothing like losing an HVAC, but we are VERY pleased with how this was handled. You should be proud to offer this special warranty to your clients.
Sincerely,
Cheryl B.
With RealtySouth, our home sales volume leads our next twenty competitors combined! Exposure is the key to getting your home sold if you are selling in Birmingham, Hoover, Vestavia Hills, Homewood, Mountain Brook, Inverness and the Highway 280 Corridor to Chelsea.

In May of 2008 Money Magazine named Birmingham, Alabama to the #3 spot on its list of “10 Fastest Growing Real Estate Markets”. For those moving to Birmingham, the lowest property taxes in the nation (according to The Land Report 10/27/08), and the amenities and lifestyle offered versus what you get for the money in many other markets, may come as a very pleasant surprise.
On January 9, 2009, Forbes named Birmingham one of the “25 Strongest Housing Markets”. In the November 2008 issue of SmartMoney magazine, Birmingham’s real estate market was listed in the #2 spot of the top 25 cities “ready to rebound”. To buy a home now, in what is one of the nation’s more stable markets, could be a real opportunity.
Individually, the suburbs of Birmingham continue to draw national attention by making several of the “best places to live“ and “best places to retire” lists. Hoover, Helena, and Vestavia Hills, Alabama have all been named. Most recently, Vestavia Hills was named to Relocate-America’s Top 100 List for 2009.
From Aldridge Gardens to the Birmingham Zoo, the Birmingham area literally offers every amenity from A to Z. Investors and homebuyers should take notice of all the recent buzz about the Birmingham Real Estate Market.
According to the Alabama Center for Real Estate monthly report, residential home sales have gone up significantly. The Center’s latest report stated that the Alabama Housing Affordability Index was at its highest level in years.
Birmingham, Alabama was named eighth out of the top ten real estate markets nationally for having the shortest supply of homes available in April of 2012. We are now beginning to see multiple offers on properties priced competively.
There is pent up demand for houses as the public perception has been to wait for lower prices, and still lower interest rates. Rental rates are up, and in most markets it is still cheaper to buy than rent. However, home affordability has increased significantly, and has made many rethink trying to predict the “bottom” of the market. With these factors in place, buying a home now may be a sound decision.
Birmingham, Alabama and its many suburbs currently have wonderful inventory from which to choose. For those who have managed their credit well, great opportunities exist. Whether investing, “moving up”, or purchasing a first home, the ”cost to own” is down, and the chance to get that “dream home” may be more within reach than ever before.

Recently TV’s Craig Ferguson performed at The Comedy Club in Hoover, a large suburb of Birmingham, Alabama. “I have NEVER seen a place more MISREPRESENTED in my LIFE “ , he said. “It’s all MODERN and everything. The people are SO FRIENDLY, and I had the BEST Philly cheesesteak sandwich I have EVER had in my life! I’M MOVING HERE!” , he exclaimed.
As I sat in that Saturday night audience enjoying his show, I wondered how many others HAD NO IDEA what WORLD CLASS AMENITIES Birmingham, and its outlying areas, have to offer. From Renaissance Ross Bridge Golf Resort and Spa to the five star Highlands Bar and Grill Restaurant; from the boutiques of Homewood and the Villages of Mountain Brook, to the fabulous shopping of The Summit, Riverchase Galleria, and Brookwood Mall; from SOUTHERN LIVING and SOUTHERN ACCENTS magazines toPepper Place design center; Birmingham Jefferson Civic Center to Regions Park; from the incredible estates of Mountain Brook to the explosion of new home communities , such as Greystone, along the 280 corridor; from top doctors to UAB Medical Center, Birmingham is one of the nation’s best kept secrets for amenities versus affordability.
More good news for the Birmingham real estate market is that Birmingham, Alabama now ranks #4 on the nation’s list of places for a home price rebound, according to the Birmingham Business Journal.
Birmingham was just named #46 on the list of the country’s largest metropolitan areas for quality of life, based on “well-rounded markets with healthy economies, moderate costs of living, light traffic, impressive housing stocks and high-powered educational systems” ( Birmingham ranks No. 46 for quality of life – Birmingham Business Journal).
Birmingham, and its surrounding communities have it all: great homes, fine dining and entertainment, incomparable sports, amazing shopping, terrific schools, world-renowned medical facilities, breathtaking scenery, and unbelievable weather, in a city that mixes trendy with traditional.
Friendly and sophisticated, Birmingham has all the amenities of Atlanta or LA , without the never-ending traffic congestion, or exorbitant cost of living. Whether your style is “English Cottage“, or “Tudor Castle”, you will find that Birmingham truly is a “Magic City”.
