What AU Faculty Have Taught Me About Real Estate (Real Talk)
I’ve helped dozens of Auburn University faculty and staff relocate, and let me tell you—these are some of the most intentional and insightful home buyers I’ve ever worked with. As a real estate agent and Auburn alum who’s lived here since 1988, I thought I knew a lot about the home search process… until I started helping professors. Here’s what AU faculty have taught me about real estate—and why it’s made me a better REALTOR® and person.
🧠 Every Move Has a Backstory
Auburn faculty don’t move on a whim. These are calculated, well-researched decisions. They’ve already checked school zones, commute times, and Google Street View before they even call me. Their approach? Detailed and smart. It’s sharpened how I prepare for every client—because I know I need to bring my A-game.
🔍 Deeper Questions = Better Answers
Faculty buyers don’t settle for surface-level info. They want to know about zoning, builder reputation, drainage, HOA covenants—you name it. There’s no room for fluff or vague answers. This has made me a stronger communicator and researcher. I don’t just sell homes—I help clients truly understand them.
⏰ Their Schedules Are No Joke
Between lectures, research grants, and university meetings, AU faculty often have limited windows to view homes. I’ve adapted by offering flexible showing hours—early mornings, late evenings, and even 15-minute power walkthroughs. It’s taught me how to be efficient and respectful of busy lives.
❤️ It’s About More Than Square Footage
AU faculty care deeply about fit—not just features. I’ve helped clients find homes that align with their values: walkable to campus, space to host visiting scholars, quiet offices for writing, or proximity to Auburn’s arts and cultural events. Now, I ask better questions from day one.
🙌 Intelligence Isn’t Snobbery
One of the biggest blessings of working with AU faculty? They’re smart—but humble. They value professionalism, transparency, and kindness. It’s been a joy to serve them and learn from them. And I’m a better REALTOR® because of it.
