Why You Should Think About Listing Prices Like an Auction’s Reserve Price
For generations, the homebuying process never really changed. The seller would try to estimate the market value of the home and tack on a little extra to give themselves some negotiating room.

Jeremy is a rock star as usual. I've had the pleasure of closing on two investment properties with him. As an out of state investor, it is always a little nerve wrecking buying. But Jeremy gives me his honest thoughts, detailed photos and videos, and even market insights. I recommend Jeremy to all I know who want to buy or sell in Birmingham and look forward to working together on more transactions. - zuser20160611071425921My fiancé and I have worked closely with Jeremy and his team the last several months as they guided us through both the buying and selling process. Jeremy was professional, knowledgeable, and punctual throughout both the buying and selling process. If he didn’t know the answer to one of our questions he would find the answer and communicate it with us in a timely manner. In a fast paced market, a responsive agent is a valuable asset to have on your side. Once we decided on a house, Jeremy helped structure and submit an offer within hours... on a weekend! It was also reassuring to have someone we could call or text and get a response back quickly nearly any time of day. The rest of the office team were also just as responsive/knowledgeable as Jeremy. This team makes the sell or purchase of a home a pleasure. If you want an agent/team that works for you, give Jeremy and Southern State Realty Partners a call.
- jennifer118dJeremy was a fantastic resource for us while we worked through the process of buying our first home. He was knowledgeable about the areas we were looking, and extremely responsive to questions and requests to look at houses throughout the entire time we worked together. The entire buying process from looking at homes to signing the final paperwork was very smooth and I felt well informed during every step of the way. Couldn't be happier that we worked with Jeremy to get our first house - highly recommend!
