“Working with Ashley was an exceptional experience from start to finish. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process — I always felt informed and supported. What truly set her apart was her negotiation skills. She was able to secure a significantly higher offer than our original listing price. She consistently went to bat for me and made the entire experience feel less stressful and more successful. ASHLEY is the clear winner.”

“Ashley Stedham Mitchell from ERA King Real Estate. Ashley was amazing! She was very patient and understanding of my situation. She communicated with me daily and kept me updated through the whole process.”
Amy and Lance
Existing Realtor.com review
“We cannot say enough good things about our agent in Anniston! From the moment I found her on social media, I knew she was special — her personality just jumped off the screen. She is everything you hope to find in a southern agent — all the hospitality, energy, and spunk you could ask for. She's quick to respond, never leaves you wondering, and somehow kept both sides of our deal happy. She handled everything with grace, humor, and plenty of good old-fashioned southern charm. If you want an agent who's more than just a sign in the yard — someone who brings joy, personality, and top-notch professionalism to the table — she's the one!”

Your move, with local perspective
Why people move here.
These are some of the things we talk about when I help East Alabama buyers, sellers, and investors. What matters most is what fits your own plans.
A more approachable home search
East Alabama home prices are often more approachable than in larger metros. I’ll help you look at current homes that fit your plans; prices change.
An I-20 connection
Anniston and Oxford sit on I-20 between Birmingham and Atlanta. I’ll help you think through the location of a home and your own day-to-day travel.
Work and school nearby
Jacksonville State University is in Jacksonville, and Anniston Army Depot is a major Calhoun County employer. Your work or school routine is part of our conversation.
Land, outdoors, and lakes
Logan Martin, Weiss, Neely Henry, and Lake Wedowee are part of the local picture, along with Chief Ladiga Trail, Coldwater Mountain, and Cheaha. I help with homes, land, and lake property.
A neighborly pace
Serving my community is part of who I am. My community work, including United Way of East Central Alabama, is one way I stay connected to life here.
Practical help before you move
Homestead exemption is not automatic: apply with the county. My guide also covers vehicle tags and VIN checks, property taxes, and the WIR or termite letter.
Life between the moves
This is my East Alabama.
Lakes, local shops, barns, and back roads. I’ll help you think about the everyday life around a home—not just the home itself.
A little local context
Fun Facts.
Cheaha’s high place
Cheaha Mountain is Alabama’s highest natural point, at about 2,407 feet, in Cheaha State Park in the Talladega National Forest near Heflin. Its name is often explained as a Muskogee/Creek word for a ‘high place.’

A trail that connects towns
Chief Ladiga Trail runs about 39.5 miles from Anniston through Weaver, Jacksonville, and Piedmont to the Georgia line, where it meets Silver Comet Trail. Together, they form a paved path of about 105 miles toward the Atlanta area. Piedmont began the project in 1990 by acquiring the unused rail corridor.

Getting to know the area is part of finding your place. I’ll help you connect that local picture to your home search.

Your next chapter starts with a plan.
I’ll help you look at pricing, preparation, and how to present your home. Let’s start with a conversation about what comes next for you.
Let’s talk about sellingFrequently asked questions
A few questions before your next move.
Buying, selling, moving, or renting? I’m here to help you find your next step.
Buying
How do I get started buying a home?
I’ll start by listening to what matters to you. If you’re financing, I suggest talking with a lender before we begin touring so we know what feels comfortable.
Where can I search for Alabama homes?
I’ll point you to Live in Alabama to browse homes, then help you narrow your search around your plans, budget, and must-haves.
Can you help me with my first home purchase?
Yes. I’ll help you compare homes, ask questions, and understand the next steps—from making an offer to coordinating inspections and closing details.
Selling
How do you help me decide on a listing price?
I’ll look at comparable homes, current competition, your home’s condition, and your timeline. Then I’ll talk through a pricing plan with you, beyond an online estimate.
What should I do before listing my home?
I’ll help you decide what to tidy, rearrange, or address before photos and showings. My preparation and marketing plan will be built around your home.
Can you help me sell and buy my next home?
Yes. I’ll talk through how the timing fits together and help you plan your sale alongside your next home search.
Relocating
Can you help me choose where to live in East Alabama?
I’ll help you compare communities, commutes, and local amenities around your priorities. My goal is to help you understand everyday life as well as the homes.
Where can I learn about the area before moving?
My East Alabama relocation guide is a good place to start. I share local information about communities, lakes, parks, and everyday life, and I’d love to hear your questions.
Renting
Where can I find local rentals?
I’ll point you to King Property Management for local rentals. It’s a sister service to ERA King; my own work focuses on helping you buy and sell homes.
Can you help me buy a home after renting?
Yes. I’ll listen to your plans and help you work through your next home search one step at a time. If you’re financing, I suggest starting with a lender conversation.
