I have over 25 years experience building new homes as well as renovating award-winning historic homes in the greater Mobile area and the Eastern Shore. After 14 years of volunteering in the community with the Junior League and the Historic Mobile Preservation Society, I began a career in sales, winning several awards along the way such as the Triple Crown Award with Edward Jones as a financial advisor and one of the top four sales representatives in the Southeast for Waste Pro. During this time, I served 7 years as an appointee to the Mobile Historic Development Commission, with 3 years on the executive board as Vice President (over the Banner & Shield Program) and Publicity Chairman. I specialize in selling historic homes in Midtown and Downtown, as well as the greater Mobile and Baldwin county area. I'm excited to join forces with a locally-owned company such as Bellator Real Estate. With renovations featured in Mobile Bay Monthly, as well as two homes featured in the Mobile Press Register's "Cool Spaces", my husband and I have built homes in West Mobile and Fairhope for themselves and family members, renovated homes in DeTonti Square, Oakleigh Garden District, Old Dauphinway Historic District, as well as the Midtown area around Murphy High School. I have an in depth knowledge of the Mobile area market, particularly historic homes or homes in need of some type of renovation, that many realtors don't have. For years, people kept coming to me for pricing advice about Mobile real estate so I decided it's probably time to get paid for it. I'm a full time agent, I love real estate and my clients. I like that I'm allowed by Bellator to be a full service agent, not a transaction broker. I want to help families achieve their dreams, big or small, buying or selling. ANY house can sell if it's priced at market value. I aim to make buying and selling a less stressful experience and understand that it needs to be at YOUR convenience, not mine. My goal is to "sell with soul" and change the industry perception. It's not about the commission check for me; it's about relationships. In addition, I'm not your average realtor and I really believe in education. Presently, I have my ABR certification (Accredited Buyer Representative), GRI (Graduate of the Realtor Institute), PSA (Pricing Strategy Advisor), and ATHD (At Home with Diversity). I am originally from Ocean Springs, Mississippi and graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi with a degree in education. I live in the Midtown Mobile area with my husband of 31 years, Allan Gustin, who heads up the Mobile office of an industrial construction company, Dunn Building Company. We have four children: Tripp, Shelby, Win, and Elizabeth.
