Guides worth printing.

Three plain-spoken guides drawn from real transactions on the Alabama Gulf Coast — no signup, no catch. Download them, mark them up, and bring your questions to the conversation.

For Buyers

Open House Etiquette

What to bring, what to ask, and what to skip — plus the coastal questions most buyers forget to ask before they fall in love with a house.

  • The five-minute street scan that tells you more than the listing
  • Questions worth asking the listing agent — and the ones to keep to yourself
  • How to read a house past the staging: smell, sound, storage

For Sellers

Prepping Your Home for Sale

A six-week, room-by-room plan that gets your home photographed and shown at its best — with the honest list of what to spend on and what to skip.

  • The order that works: declutter, repair, paint, then landscape
  • Coast-specific checks — docks, screens, pool water, elevation certificates
  • Photo-day preparation that costs almost nothing and changes everything

For Buyers & Sellers

What Happens After the Contract

The thirty to forty-five days between an accepted offer and the closing table, mapped week by week, so nothing arrives as a surprise.

  • Inspections, appraisal, title and insurance — in the order they actually happen
  • Which repair requests are worth making and which cost you goodwill
  • The one wiring-fraud rule every buyer and seller should memorise
