ABOUT GENNY WILLIAMS
A mentor to many. A guide to all. Over the last 22+ years, I have helped hundreds of people just like you buy new homes, sell their own, purchase land to build their dreams and reap the rewards of years of investing. There is no doubt that Real Estate is my calling. I also own my own Real Estate Marketing company, and I've helped thousands of agents across the United States build businesses at scales they never thought possible. In fact, I've personally coached many of the Top Producers across the Birmingham area. My two children, Gentry and Jacob, and my homebuilder husband, Jay, are the centers of my universe, and I'm so blessed to have such a loving and supportive family. Most of all, I love helping people get to the next step. Whether it's downsizing, moving up, moving away or getting closer to the ones they love, there's no better feeling than helping a family or individual homeowner enjoy the fruits of their labor, reaching their destination.
In 2019, I was named an eXp Realty ICON Agent after closing over $10 million in sales in my first year back in Real Estate full-time in over 11 years. This is our company's highest honor, and I became only the 5th agent in the state of Alabama to accomplish this goal. Referrals, experience and a strong commitment to achieving my goals helped me earn this honor, and I intend to win this award again in 2020. By hiring me, you are hiring an agent that is fiercely committed to helping you reach your next destination, as helping you also helps me become a better agent and a better representative of our growing company. Choose an agent with more experience, better resources and a bigger commitment to helping you sell your home for more money in less time on the market!
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Genny is an incredible agent with invaluable industry knowledge and an endless network. Not to mention, she is an endless ball of energy and will literally work night and day to get the job done. The number one thing I love about Genny is her communication skills. She is proactive in her communication and made sure I was aware of what was going on every single day our house was on the market. She was relentless at following up on leads. She tapped into her network to get the word out and to generate leads. If you are looking for someone to get your house sold, don’t wait any longer as you have found the right agent. Brandon Ponds, Vestavia Hills seller I've known Genny for years and there are not many people like her. Genny is an amazing mix of ambitious, smart and humble. She goes above and beyond and is a great person to have in your corner. Kelly Atchison, Marketing Manager - Two Men and a Truck I came to know Genny one Saturday afternoon recently after we moved in to our new home. She had noticed the listing on our home showed up in the MLS as Expired rather than Sold. So like any incredible realtor who is diligently working their business, she stopped by to introduce herself to the homeowners. When we met and it was apparent that the house was indeed sold we enjoyed a wonderful conversation. I was grateful to meet her and when I shared the amazing experience we had with our agent she had the kindest things to say about her. Genny is a kind soul and a true professional. She has an incredible work ethic and has the knowledge and skill to guide you with your home buying and selling needs. Melanie Sanders, Chelsea AL Business Owner I have worked with Genny Williams for the past 8 years and have always found her to be an excellent resource to those she is working for. She is an expert in knowing what it takes to list and sell your home. Genny is a master at marketing and utilizes that knowledge and skill to sell your home for the highest price in the shortest amount of time. I highly recommend Genny!

REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE SERVICES DISCLOSURE Alabama law requires you, the consumer, be informed about the types of services which real estate licensees may perform. The purpose of this disclosure is to give you a summary of these services. A Single Agent is a licensee who represents only one party in a sale. That is, a single agent represents his or her client. The client may be either the seller or the buyer. A single agent must be completely loyal and faithful to the client. A Sub-Agent is another agent/licensee who also represents only one party in a sale. A sub-agent helps the agent represent the same client. The client may be either the seller or the buyer. A sub-agent must be completely faithful to the client. A Limited Consensual Dual Agent is a licensee for both the buyer and the seller. This may only be done with the written, informed consent of all parties. This type of agent must also be loyal and faithful to the client, except where the duties owed to the clients conflict with one another. A Transaction Broker assists one or more parties in a sale. A transaction broker is not an agent and does not have the same obligations as an agent. The transaction broker and licensees working with him or her perform the services set out in their contract. Alabama law imposes the following obligations on all real estate licensees to all parties, no matter what their relationship: 1. To provide services honestly and in good faith; 2. To exercise reasonable care and skill; 3. To keep confidential any information gained in confidence, unless disclosure is required by law or duty to a client, the information becomes public knowledge, or disclosure is authorized in writing; 4. To present all written offer promptly to the seller; 5. To answer your questions completely and accurately. 6. 7. Further, even if you are working with a licensee who is not your agent, there are many things that the licensee may do to assist you. Some examples are: 8. Provide information about the properties; 9. Show properties; 10. Assist in making a written offer; 11. Provide information on financing. 12. 13.You should choose which type of service you want from the licensee and sign a brokerage service agreement. If you do not sign an agreement, by law, the licensee working with you is a transaction broker. 14. 15.The licensee's broker is required by law to have an office policy on file describing the company's brokerage services. You should feel free to ask any question you have. 16. 17.The Alabama Real Estate Commission requires the real estate licensee to sign, date and provide you a copy of this form. Your signature is not required by law or rule, but would be appreciated.

MY PROMISE TO YOU EXPECT THAT I WILL: 1. Email you every Monday to give you updates, even if there is nothing to report. 2. Send you a weekly report on all online activity of your house. 3. Hire a professional photographer to take photographs. 4. Forward any feedback that we get from other agents or feedback forms left in the home. 5. Be available by text message when you need me or have questions. 6. Answer any questions as quickly as possible, even if I’m with another client. 7. Spend my time, energy and money on effective marketing that will produce a buyer. 8. Keep working until you have a sold sign in your yard.
WHAT I EXPECT FROM YOU: 1. Keep your home clean and in showing condition at all times. 2. Make your home available to show at any time. Buyers do not normally reschedule if a homeowner does not make the property available the first time. 3. Put your pets in a kennel during showings. Even pet lovers don't like the smell of pets when touring a new home. Plus, I don't want your pets to dart out of the house. 4. Do not speak to buyers or the buyer's agent if you cannot leave the house for a showing. Please be kind and go for a walk. Buyers get uncomfortable if the owner is home. This situation can cost you money! We want you to sell as high as possible! 5. Let me assist you in your home search if you are interested in other properties. Remember, we need to get your home under contract before looking at new homes. 6. If you don't get an offer within 14 days, you will agree to a price reduction. The longer a home sits on the market due to price, the lower it will ultimately sell for. 7. Pay a commission of 6% in the first 30 days on the market. If an offer is produced during the first 30 days of the listing period and turns into a finalized agreement at any time, the listing commission is 6%. Commission is reduced to 5% on day 31 through 180. Cancel anytime for a $500 cancellation fee for a fraction of expense reimbursement.
