Your #1 Trusted Real Estate Brokerage in Mobile, AL
Because 4% Matters
Any real estate brokerage can do the math for you: every 1% added to a listing fee adds thousands in costs. Think about it! 1% on $100,000 is $1,000, so the difference between a 4% listing fee and the most common 6% listing fee is $2,000 per $100,000 in home value.
-A $300,000 home costs an extra $6,000 in realtor fees at 6% versus 4%
-A $200,000 home costs an extra $4,000 in realtor fees at 6% versus 4%

Start to Finish: We Aren't Just Any Real Estate Brokerage
Other brokerages have little to offer beyond their experience as realtors. Southern Bay offers so much more with its partnership with Azalea City Tax & Accounting and Joe & Trenity Davis at The Mortgage Couple. We are a brokerage owned by three individuals: a realtor, a mortgage broker, and an accountant. As such, we are uniquely suited to understand and assist in all aspects of the buying and selling process.
Aside from the professional side of things, Southern Bay Realty maintains a close relationship with Surfside Services, 'The One Call That Books It All'. Having such an amazing repair company available who understands the special needs of real estate transactions, such as timely repair estimates on home inspections, is a tremendous value to our clients that we're very thankful for.
