Guitar Playing, Drumming, Realtor – Meet John Chism

Guitar Playing, Drumming, Realtor – Meet John Chism
 
Everyone – please give a warm welcome to the newest member of the Global Homes Group team – John Chism!

 
John joins the team with a ton of local knowledge and experience. You see, he grew up on Bone Camp Road and lived there his entire life until college. So if you’re considering Tuscaloosa as a home, or a home in Tuscaloosa – talk to John because this area is truly his home.
 
He had an amazing childhood, has a best friend brother, 2 amazing parents, and a ton of talents in things like playing the guitar and the drums. In fact he was on the drum line in high school. Plenty of real estate agents struggle with multiple projects, contracts, and elements to the business. That isn’t a problem for John seeing as how he can plan an instrument while moving with a band going on around him. Managing inspections, counter-offers, and closings is quite literally a walk in the park.

From Alabaster, Loves Tuscaloosa – Meet Abby Hamrick

From Alabaster, Loves Tuscaloosa – Meet Abby Hamrick
 
Everyone – please give a warm welcome to another new member to the Global Homes Group team – Abby Hamrick!

 
Abby comes to Global Homes Group by way of transition from a successful career in the service industry. She’s already using your talents at helping and serving others to work, helping bring properties to market and close transactions – with just a couple of weeks into her real estate career.
 
But let’s start at the beginning, back in Alabaster where she attended Thompson High School. She played volleyball there after excelling in softball and volleyball growing up (the 2 sports conflicted in high school).
 
Speaking of – she’s been at a ballpark most of her life since her dad is the Thompson HS baseball coach. Imagine being the coach’s daughter at a 7A high school like Thompson! It was interesting to say the least.
 
But she’s g1 ...

Your 5 Reasons Local Realtors Help More

Check out this story where we helped a local homeowner - you’ll see exactly why using a Local Realtor is important for you, your family, your goals, and your home/property. 

Nicole Free just joined Global Homes Group in January 2022 after being an independent agent with Keller Williams, Tuscaloosa for about 2 years. (Full introductory post coming soon but this story where she helped a Tuscaloosa client has to be told right now) 


This client came to Global Homes Group and Nicole after using a family member who is a real estate agent in Birmingham to list a home. Their thinking was - it didn’t matter where the listing realtor lived because this market is selling homes so fast.

(they were losing money with it not selling)

Devin Jones Joins Global Homes Group

Every once in a while you meet someone with a story you just can’t quite believe. But you believe them because you trust them, it’s just their story so unheard of you can’t believe it happened to someone - and that someone is Devin Jones. ??


Devin grew up in the St. Augustine, FL area, made great grades, played sports, had a lot of fun with friends. This isn’t the part of his story that sticks out so much because that story sounds like what a lot of folks experience. ??

When Devin was finishing high school and applying to colleges he knew he definitely wanted to attend an SEC school. You see, his father played football for the Georgia Bulldogs (yes, those Georgia Bulldogs) so you’d think he’d naturally go there. Most people would think he’d be a UGA legacy. ?? ?

Or maybe, since he lived in Florida (remember those great grades?), the University of Florida would be a great option (yes, these Florida Gators). The weather would be the sa; ...
