The LIST Birmingham Home Buyer Process
1
Step 1: Get Pre-Approved
A pre-approval helps you prove your ability to afford property, which strengthens your offer and negotiations.
2
Step 2: Your Buyer Consultation
We’ll develop your strategy and timeline. We also set up a daily email search based on your desired location & criteria.
3
Step 3: Tour properties
We’ll show you homes and help narrow houses to find the best home for you.
4
Step 4: Negotiate an offer
Our “decision point” tool gives you better context of the property’s true value. This removes the stress of unknowns and lets you move forward with confidence.
5
Step 5: Contract to close
Inspections and an appraisal will be done to make sure you’re not overpaying. We’ll identify any concerns in these reports and ask the seller to fix the problems.
6
Step 6: Closing Day
On your scheduled Closing Day, we will meet with an agent who will close your loan and finalize the purchase, allowing you to officially own your new home.
Get Started!
We’d love to help you find the perfect new home. Schedule a friendly, no-pressure call with someone from our team.
What Our Clients are Saying

“Brent is an excellent agent. He helped us buy our first house and then 13 years later he helped us sell it. Great deals both times. From painters to mortgage brokers, he leverages a network of the top local professionals. He works extremely hard. He is as honest as they come. His advice is reliable. All that, and yet he is the most affordable listing agent in town.”
— Jay & April
“Our family recently bought and sold homes through LIST Birmingham with Melvin Upchurch. We could not have had a better guide or mentor through this challenging process. Melvin desires that his clients be informed, not pushed. He was as quick to point out the negatives as well as the positives in the properties we were shown. Melvin studies his client’s desires and needs, as well as studying the properties shown.”

“Melvin went above and beyond to help us prepare our house and sell our house quickly! We had a tremendous amount of showings, highly successful open house, and multiple offers all thanks to his help. His knowledge of the housing market in Vestavia is unlike any other and I had a great appreciation for the amount of analysis he completed for us before listing our home. He is honest, reliable, and has a wealth of knowledge”
— Kelli
“We have used Brent to buy 2 homes and sell 2 homes in the past 5 years, most recently in 2020. You cannot beat his knowledge on Birmingham neighborhoods, house renovation / updating / inspection issues, buying/selling process, and just about anything else. We highly and frequently recommend Brent and List Birmingham to everyone we know looking to buy or sell.”
