Team Pownall - Kirk & Sheila Pownall

Team Pownall -  Kirk & Sheila Pownall Helping buyers & sellers throughout the Birmingham area find the right home—and the right move | Real Broker, LLC Our story started in relocation.

We’ve been helping people make moves in the Birmingham area for more than 30 years. Sheila began working in the relocation industry in 1989 and became a real estate broker in 1994. Kirk, with a background in finance, joined her in the relocation business in 1993. Over the years, we’ve helped people moving to Birmingham with everything from finding apartments and rental homes to corporate relocation and, of course, buying and selling homes. Today, our focus is simple: helping buyers and sellers make good real estate decisions without pressure. We believe experience matters, communication matters, and sometimes good advice means telling you what you need to hear—not just what you want to hear. We live in Chelsea and help buyers and sellers throughout the Birmingham area. Kirk & Sheila Pownall | Team Pownall

Sometimes a move isn't planned — it just happens. ❤️

Retirement. A new baby. A move to the lake. Parents moving in, or moving to assisted living. Divorce. The loss of someone you love. These are the life changes that bring people to us.

We're Kirk and Sheila, a husband-and-wife team with 30 years in Birmingham real estate. We've been through some of these ourselves as empty nesters, and we've walked hundreds of clients through the rest.

We'll help with everything that comes with it, too — estate sales, selling furniture, and figuring out how to buy a bigger home while you're still selling the current one.

Two full-time agents, working for you instead of just one. 🏡

"What kind of loan should I use?" 🤔 It's the question we get asked most.

The honest answer: it depends on your situation. Here's a quick look at your options:

🏡 FHA — great for first-time buyers or lower credit
🏡 Conventional — higher credit or repeat buyers with equity
🏡 USDA — a rural loan, and yes, Chelsea, Wilsonville, and Columbiana still qualify!
🏡 VA — for active military and veterans
🏡 Bank statement — for self-employed buyers (start this one early!)

Not sure which one fits you? Call or text Sheila 205-222-3938 or Kirk 205-222-8966 and let's talk it through. 🏡 Real Broker

🏡 **SIX HOUSES. TWO REALTORS. TWO DIFFERENT FAVORITES!**

After showing six homes in the Birmingham area, we decided to have a little real estate discussion on the drive home.

If WE were the buyers, which house would we choose?

Kirk picked House #3 for its beautiful curb appeal, circular driveway, immaculate interior, and extra basement space.

Sheila picked House #5 for its attractive price per square foot, beautiful paint colors, and community pool within walking distance.

And here's something we always remind our buyers: **The right house isn't necessarily the same house for everyone.**

Some buyers prioritize extra living space. Others value neighborhood amenities, location, or having less maintenance.

Our job is to help you recognize what matters most to YOU and find a home that fits your lifestyle.

Now we're curious!

🏡 Would you choose the house with the extra basement space?

🏊 Or would you prefer the house with access to a community pool without the maintenance?

Watch our conversation and tell us which one YOU would pick!

And yes, there's a little unexpected Jeep humor at the end! 😂

Thinking about buying or selling in the Birmingham area? We'd love to help!
