Show properties before dark. If you are going to be working after hours, advise your associate or first-line supervisor of your schedule. If you must show a property after dark, turn on all lights and open shades prior to going inside with your client.

Stay Alert. Stay Secure. Stay Safe.

🚗 Don’t leave the garage out of the tour.

This week’s Market Minute Marketing Move: Include garage photos in your listing.

Buyers aren’t only looking at kitchens and living rooms. Garages can answer important questions about parking, storage, workspace, and everyday functionality before they ever schedule a showing.

📸 If it’s a selling feature, show it!

Alabama’s summer housing market continues to move. 📈

July marked the sixth consecutive month of increased home sales, reaching the state’s highest benchmark in nearly four years. Sales rose 19.8% year over year, while active listings reached a new post-pandemic high.

The member takeaway: sellers continue to benefit from equity growth, while buyers have more homes to consider. Use the statewide momentum to begin the conversation—then bring it home with your local market knowledge.

Are you seeing similar activity across North Alabama?

Your listing doesn’t stop at the back door. 🌿🏡

This week’s **Market Minute Marketing Move:** Showcase the outdoor living spaces.

Patios, porches, decks, and backyards can be just as important to buyers as what’s inside. Make sure your listing photos help them picture morning coffee on the porch, dinner on the patio, or a Saturday afternoon in the backyard.

📸 **Take another look at your active listings:** Are you giving the outdoor spaces their moment?

**One tip. One minute. Every Tuesday.**
