Hunter was very responsive to our needs and any questions we had. Very down to earth!!
We know the golden rule of real estate is “Location, Location, Location”, but we discovered the golden rule of realtors in David Coate: “Connections, Connections, Connections.” We had a fairly complex transaction buying an investment property in Gulf Shores. We needed funding as well as opening a 1031 exchange on multiple properties in another state. David knew exactly who to introduce us to for these essential services. Also, at the same time, we needed advice from someone with experience to find a short-term rental manager who would help us get our business started in Alabama. Once again, he had multiple contacts so that we could interview and make informed decisions. His many years of experience made an otherwise complicated transaction… seamless. All the people he introduced us to were equally experienced, giving us enormous confidence all along the way. This was our first, but not last, purchase in Gulf Shores and we will certainly seek out David Coate for our next project. He was just what we needed – personable, hardworking and trustworthy!
Chuck is a seasoned realtor who specializes in selling properties in the gulf Shores area. He was always available and moved timely on every detail!
The Bushaw Team help me in the acquisition of two residential properties in the Gulf Shores area. Kristy helped me in establishing the values of each property and the negotiations with the sellers. She is now assisting me with finding several commercial properties for potential acquisition. I would and have recommended the Bushaw Team to others in need of a great real estate agent.
Working with Heather was a great experience. She was very knowledgeable of the market which made making decisions very easy. Heather was always available when I called with questions. Will diffently use Heather again.
My wife and I come to the beach for the Winter. Just for fun we thought we would search Zillow for houses. We found one that looked interesting and punched the “find an agent” link. 15 minutes later we get a call and it’s Hunter. He meets us that evening. It wasn’t the right house for us, but it was the start of our search. We told Hunter what we thought we were after. He searched available listings and we were off on our quest. He took us on several tours, listened to our likes and dislikes and kept looking. We came back to Kentucky and he kept searching for us. We returned to GS in a month for a week to look at some more. We made a couple of offers but each time either the inspection or the counter wasn’t to our liking. We asked a thousand questions and each time he always found the answers. Finally, in April, we revisited one that we had looked at earlier and everything fell into place. The only problem was we were again back in Ky…but no worries, we had Hunter. He got the deal done for us, but that’s not the amazing part. He set up the closing and walked us thru everything we needed to do before and when we got back down there. He did the leg work to transfer the utilities into our name. He took care of setting up inspections…suggested insurance agents, etc. He even remedied the few concerns we had about the property so it was ready for us to move in when we got there. He definitely went above and beyond the call of duty. We couldn’t have done it without him…and he was professional, knowledgeable and gracious the whole time. The day after we moved in he came by to check on us and brought us a house warming gift. The next day we bought a couch and I called him to ask if he knew anyone who could help us move it. He did. He showed up with another guy from Remax and they moved it for us. Who does that? I wish he was family. No, he’s better, lol.
Rachel is incredibly responsive even to the craziest questions, exceptionally knowledgeable about the real estate market and every step of the buying process, and what truly sets her apart is how genuinely invested she is in her clients’ happiness. She doesn’t just help you find a home, she offers expert guidance at every turn and celebrates every win right alongside you, making you feel like her top priority from start to finish!
Hunter is extremely knowledgeable of the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area. He is a great communicator and understands the other agents he is working with in the sale of your home. He is extremely professional to his clients and the others he is working with during the sell. He always is willing to go that extra mile for you. He gets to know you and treats you like friends and/or family. His honesty is hard to find these days. This is the 2nd time we have used Hunter and would HIGHLY recommend him as both a selling agent and a buying agent. He works for his clients, and it shows!
We have used Chuck Norwood several times over the years in real estate transactions. We just used them to sell an investment property and they handled every detail perfectly. We have always been totally happy with their professionalism and attention to detail. I could not recommend them more!
From start to finish, Nicole was knowledgeable, responsive, and truly had our best interests in mind. Her attention to detail, market insight, and negotiation skills made all the difference. We always felt supported and well-informed. I highly recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell--you will be in good hands.
