As a home buyer or seller, it’s important to work with a real estate agent who knows the area well.
That’s why Terry Crutchfield, owner of Crutchfield & Co. that operates under the RE/MAX umbrella, is “recommended for a reason.”
Terry is a Birmingham resident of more than 30 years. She is one of the top resale agents in Shelby County and in her neighborhood. She specializes in selling homes along the U.S. 280 corridor.
She attributes her success in amassing referrals to her readiness to intentionally connect with clients on a personal level and exceed expectations with a passion for helping people through stressful and exciting times. Terry is passionate about giving back to her community, from holding coat drives and neighborhood events to raising funds for the Shelby County Humane Society or Alabama Childhood Food Solutions.
She didn’t always plan on becoming a real estate agent, though. But her mom was a broker in their hometown and had her own real estate agency. Originally, Terry was a part owner of a court reporting firm.
At Crutchfield & Co. of RE/MAX Southern Homes, when working with buyers, Terry and her teammates work diligently to find exactly what the buyer is requesting — many times finding off-the-market properties. They work within their clients’ requested price range and search for homes until they find exactly what the clients want.
With sellers, Crutchfield & Co. agents offer staging and contractor services if needed. They utilize all forms of marketing to gain maximum exposure and top dollar in the shortest amount of time.
Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions a person makes in their lifetime, and Terry has been a part of her fair share of emotional moments.
“I once represented a seller who was selling her family home where she had raised her children,” she said. “Her son, who lived out of state, surprised her at the closing to be there for her. She and her son were both in tears. She had no idea he would fly in for the closing.”
She’s learned a lot along the way, but one of the biggest lessons she’s learned is to always be flexible — and that’s true whether you’re an agent or the client.
“Be open to change,” she said. “Buyers often change direction in what they are looking for such as location, price point or style.”
Terry chose team members who care about people first. They work on behalf of buyers and sellers for the best results possible.
