Birmingham. Trust me on this one.
I promise.
You are here for a reason.
A growing family. A house that no longer fits. A plan that looks different than it did a year ago. Whatever brought you here, Birmingham is a great place to figure out what comes next. You just need someone who listens, knows this city like the back of their hand, and will help, guide, and be honest with you every step of the way.
I am ready when you are.

HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
Every good relationship starts with a real conversation. Before strategy and timelines, we talk through where you are in the process, what matters most to you, and what the right outcome looks like for your specific needs.
From there we build a plan that fits you specifically. I bring the market knowledge, the strategy, and the experience. You bring the goals and the timeline. Together we find the path to the right outcome.
My job throughout is to keep things clear, steady, and honest. You will always know where things stand and what comes next.
WHAT MATTERS MOST
What you can always count on from me...
- You will always know where you stand and what comes next.
- Deep knowledge of this market: the numbers, the neighborhoods, and the nuance.
- Someone working for the right outcome, not just the easy one.
- Honest communication, even when it is hard to hear.
Buying a Home
Buying a home involves far more than finding the right property. As a Birmingham resident of nearly three decades, I guide you through neighborhoods, pricing, competition, and timing so your decisions are clear and informed from the beginning. I am with you from the first search to the closing table and beyond, for whatever real estate needs come next.
Selling a Home
Selling a home requires clear facts, strong positioning, and thoughtful decision-making. I guide you through market conditions, pricing strategy, and buyer trends throughout home preparation and staging, marketing, offers, and negotiations. We will work together through every step of the process and walk away from the closing table with a clear plan for your next chapter in real estate.
Real Estate Guidance
Not every real estate decision comes with a clear next step. Whether you are figuring out timing, weighing options, or just trying to understand what the market means for your situation, I help you think it through. We work through the numbers together, clarify what matters most, and build a path forward that makes sense for where you are right now and where you want to be.
What clients say
Built on relationships, not cold calls. These are real people whose lives changed with a single great decision.

“BEST Realtor ever!! She was so patient with me throughout the entire process of selling my father's home. She had wonderful ideas for staging and an excellent marketing strategy! She got me multiple offers and an amazing deal within days of the listing going live. Absolutely delightful and fun to work with. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!”

“I do not have the words to say how amazing it is to work with Mary Reed. She listed and sold the house in under 30 days. She priced the home perfectly and in less than a week handed me a full price offer. She made the process very easy and I cannot be more grateful for her help. She knows the market and set the expectations perfectly. I will definitely use her again to sell and buy future homes.”
Kathleen McLaughlin
Seller
“Mary Reed is an exceptional realtor. She handled the sale of my home with professionalism, warmth, and unwavering support. From coordinating with multiple parties to ensuring the home was market-ready (even down to her husband helping with the deck!) she truly went above and beyond. Her communication was clear and consistent throughout, and thanks to her expertise, the house sold quickly and for above asking price. I'm incredibly grateful to have had Mary Reed in my corner during a challenging time. I can't recommend her enough.”
