Termite bonds. Storm insurance. Homestead exemptions. Closing in Alabama works a little differently, and the buyers who know that going in have the smoothest purchases. This guide walks you through all of it, written by the local team that does it every day.
Free download. No cost, no obligation.
Founded by Kelli Salter, who grew up right here in North Mobile County and came home to build for the communities she knows best.
Of Marine Corps moves all over the world. We understand relocation from the inside, not from a brochure.
The guide is free, and so is the buyer consultation that comes with it. No pressure, no obligation, just a plan.
Every chapter answers the questions buyers actually ask, in plain English, with the Alabama specifics spelled out.
The buyer consultation: your goals, your timeline, your real monthly budget, and the areas that fit it. The smartest 30 minutes of your search.
Pre-approval versus pre-qualification, the loan types that may apply to you, and introductions to trusted local lenders when you need one.
Needs versus wants, reading a home honestly, and how offers, representation, and negotiation actually work in Alabama.
Termite reports, septic inspections, moisture and mold, and what to flag before you commit. The chapter most buyers thank us for.
Every fee explained line by line, including title insurance, so nothing on your closing statement is a surprise.
What happens at the table, when you get the keys, and the after-closing steps most new owners miss, like filing your homestead exemption.
If you are moving from another state, or even another part of Alabama, these are the things worth knowing before you buy, not after.
Alabama ranks among the most termite-active states in the country. The guide explains wood infestation reports, what a termite bond is, and what to ask about treatment history before you offer.
This is a storm-active region, and premiums vary widely by roof age, construction, and location. The guide shows you why quotes belong in your due diligence period, not after closing.
Your property tax break on a primary residence is not automatic in Alabama. The guide covers when and where to file after closing so you do not leave money on the table.
