RealtySouth has the great honor to have won the award in the Real Estate and Development category for “Birmingham’s Most Admired Company” in the Birmingham Business Journal for 2012.
From a survey of prominent executives, business leaders and public officials, RealtySouth won the award based on the way it conducts business, the high level of unique and special services through Family of Services, domination of the Birmingham, Alabama real estate market on both the listing and selling side, and professionalism and longevity in the community.
Agent Shannon Holmes of RealtySouth agrees with CEO Ty Dodge that the best Real Estate experience occurs when the resources to list, buy a home, and close transactions are all under one roof, and RealtySouth Family of Services makes this possible. With the connected services of TitleSouth, InsuranceSouth, HomeServicesLending, and RealtySouth, great service can be provided to the consumer. Always at the top of the real estate sales market, it is no wonder that RealtySouth would win the “Most Admired Birmingham Real Estate Company” award.

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.

Mountain Brook, Alabama is at its most beautiful in Springtime, with the beauty of flowering dogwood and azaleas sprinkling the wooded setting. Realtor Shannon Holmes of RealtySouth recently took a walking tour of one of her favorite Mountain Brook areas, snapping pictures of beautiful homes and scenery from Jemison Park along Mountain Brook Parkway, and up Overhill Road to Guilford, Hastings, Sussex, and Balmoral Roads. Notice the different architectural styles of the city.
Lovely French Norman in Mountain Brook
Mountain Brook Colonial
This Mountain Brook Colonial is a well known former Birmingham Symphony Decorator Showhouse situated along Mountain Brook Parkway next to Jemison Park. Sidewalks lead past this beautiful home as part of the walking trails in the city.
The Mill is another familiar site across from Jemison Park. Built in the 1920′s as a replacement for the original grist mill burned during the American Civil War, this replica is now a charming private home.

Birmingham, Alabama Real Estate Expert Shannon Holmes of RealtySouth was recently interviewed about Mountain Brook, Alabama by New York Times reporter Venessa Wong for Bloomberg BusinessWeek. Interested in information on “America’s Most Expensive Blocks”, Realtor Shannon Holmes was asked to discuss the Mountain Brook, Alabama area, where the per capita income is one of the nation’s highest.
Part of the discussion centered on the charm of the city, and the beautiful iconic architecture from the 1920′s to the 1940′s. The homes along and above Mountain Brook Parkway, in the section which includes Overhill, Guilford, Southwood, Hastings, and Balmoral Roads contain nearly every style of home considered to be most desirable for the wealthy. These include Tudor and French castles, Mediterranean villas, Georgian mansions, and Greek Revival homes set in park-like settings. Many of these homes have been lovingly restored, updated, and increased in size to accommodate the modern family. Although some may disagree, this was the area chosen as most indicative of Old Mountain Brook.
Also discussed, were the long boulevards of high end housing along Cherokee Road and Old Overton Road, as well as the areas around Birmingham Country Club and Mountain Brook Club.
When discussing newer homes built in the last 20 to 25 years, Shook Hill Parkway was mentioned.
With street names such as “Memory Lane” and “Easy Street”, the lovely homes of Mountain Brook carry a charm and cache’ all their own.

I believe that it is very important for home sellers to understand the buyer’s market that we are now experiencing by giving those who wish to list their homes my very best advice. As a real estate expert in the Birmingham, Alabama areas of Mountain Brook, Homewood, Vestavia Hills, Hoover, Inverness, and the Highway 280 Corridor to Chelsea, I believe that it is a huge mistake to list your home at a price above what the current market will bear.
Price is currently driving the market, and everyone wants a bargain. To be competitive and have serious traffic through your home, the listing price must be what the current market reflects, regardless of what homes sold for in your neighborhood several months ago.
Remember, when you want to buy your next home you will get the same great prices from the other side of the transaction. Try to be realistic if you must sell your home now. We cannot control the market, but we can control the price!
