When Hall & Hunter Realtors, the firm she has been associated with for several years, became part of The Agency just over a year ago – it was the perfect match.

“The Agency takes a collaborative approach to real estate,” Colburn said. “We associated with a global network while maintaining the feel of a family.”

The Agency is a boutique brokerage that takes a “white glove” approach to the practice of real estate sales, just as Colburn has always done. “The addition of outstanding marketing and cutting edge technology,” she said, “was just icing on the cake.” Colburn’s highest priority is to provide a remarkable service experience to her clients. She continues to impart this ideal to her team members, all of whom know that prioritizing the needs of the client is paramount.

Teamwork, with both her clients and colleagues, is a key aspect to Colburn's longterm success in the competitive real estate marketplace. Colburn began her career 30 years ago, joining her mother and mentor, Nanci J. Rands, in the industry.

Colburn’s current team – which includes Nanci – has grown into a collaboration of “incredibly capable and effective, professional women who I trust completely to do an impeccable job.”

Colburn prides herself on having assembled a group of likeminded, talented women who each have the utmost respect for one another as well as an unfaltering commitment to their clients’ best outcome. Colburn maintains a leadership role for team members Jessica Weisman, Adriane Dundon and Caroline Johnson – all of whom work tirelessly to provide clients with outstanding representation. The team is further enhanced by Brooke Goodstein, who seamlessly handles their daily operations.

“At this point in my career, nearly everything is relationship-driven,” Colburn said. “Our reputation for being effective, extremely responsive, and easy to work with gets transactions to the closing table. It's tremendously rewarding. Our clients benefit from the strength of my relationships throughout the industry – it's what elevates our business and truly sets us apart.”

Mark Webberly, a private wealth mortgage banker who has been with U.S. Bank for the last 10 years and in the mortgage business for 30, says there's no secret sauce to his success. It comes down to caring about his clients and believing in the wide range of products he represents.

“I want to deliver a product to my clients that I would use myself,” he said. “My team and I are client-focused, always listening, educating, and providing custom solutions tailored to the best interest of our clients. I am comfortable with a full range of customers. I can handle everything from a first-time homebuyer to a client going through life changes. I understand how to work with busy executives, lawyers and doctors.”

Webberly began his career on Wall Street, providing him a deep understanding of market movement, before moving on to the mortgage business. And while he writes mortgage loans for homes all over the country, his local roots extend back to high school, graduating from Seaholm High School. His father was a General Motors executive, with family moving around the world, and his mother a Realtor. He said that led him to have real estate in his blood. He continues to live in Birmingham with his wife.

His long history in the finance industry explains why he enjoys working with U.S. Bank, the fifth largest bank in the country with over $600 billion in assets. “We're a big bank that is very nimble and client-focused. I can offer my clients jumbo, construction, lot, conventional and government mortgage loans, all from a federally licensed national bank.”

He is licensed to write loans all across the country, for those moving, purchasing second homes, or helping their children buy their first home.

“If their parents trust me, so do their children – I'm here to help,” Webberly noted.
