As licensed Alabama REALTORS®, we can show you any property for sale anywhere in the state—no matter which company has the sign in the yard. That includes residential homes, condos, townhomes, new construction communities, land, acreage, investment properties, off-market opportunities, and even For Sale By Owner listings.
If you see something online or notice a property while driving through a neighborhood, just reach out to us first. We’ll schedule the showing, gather the details, handle the communication, and guide you through every step. With us, you always have one trusted team working for you.

When you meet with us for your Home Buyer Meeting, we’ll walk you through how compensation works and agree on those details together so everything is clear from the very beginning. You never pay anything upfront — we are only compensated at closing.
Because of this structure, communication and commitment are important. When we start this journey with you, we invest our time, expertise, and guidance into helping your family find the right home. In return, we ask for that same commitment so we can fully advocate for you, protect your best interests, and confidently guide you through each step of the buying process.
Our goal is simple: to give your family a transparent, supportive, and stress-free experience as you make your move to Alabama.

If your family needs temporary housing before buying, we can guide you through rental options as well. Most rental properties do not offer agent compensation, but we still help coal families with this step because we know how important it is to get settled quickly and safely. We’ll share rental resources, areas to consider, commute times to the mine, and what to expect in the local market.
Your move matters to us — and we’re here to support your family at every stage.

Our family made the same move from Southwest Virginia to Alabama almost 10 years ago, so we understand the emotions, logistics, uncertainty, and excitement that come with relocating for the mining industry. We’ve walked the same road you’re walking now. That’s why we built AlabamaCoal.com — to help coal families feel informed, supported, and confident every step of the way.
