“Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world.” - Franklin D. Roosevelt, U.S. President.
Welcome to Alabama Real Estate, Local and Personal
I’m Ashley Stedham Mitchell, a proud Calhoun County native and Jacksonville State University graduate with a background in marketing and communications. Growing up here in East Alabama, I’ve seen firsthand the charm of our communities—from the tree-lined streets of Jacksonville to the historic homes in Anniston and the family-friendly neighborhoods of Oxford and surrounding areas in Central Alabama.
Why Alabama is a Great Place to Call Home
Alabama offers the perfect blend of affordability, charm, and opportunity. With a cost of living well below the national average, buyers can enjoy more home for their money—whether that’s a historic property in a small-town square, a lakefront retreat, or new construction in a growing neighborhood. The state’s welcoming Southern hospitality, beautiful landscapes, and year-round outdoor recreation create a lifestyle that’s both relaxed and vibrant. Steady market growth, low property taxes, and strong investment potential make Alabama appealing for first-time buyers, seasoned homeowners, and investors alike. Add in its central location—with easy access to major cities, mountains, and Gulf Coast beaches—and it’s easy to see why so many people are proud to call Alabama home.
