ZillowVERIFIED Gusty is a true Birmingham native, and his local knowledge is unmatched. When helping clients search for the right property, he provides insights that simply cant be found online or in any book. His professionalism and attention to detail stand out, especially in identifying potential issues early in the process. Thanks to his deep roots in the area, he also connects clients with reliable, trustworthy handymen and contractors. A top-tier real estate agent with exceptional local expertise.

ZillowVERIFIED Gusty and his team were fantastic from start to finish. His guidance and leadership throughout the process made it stress free as the seller and communication on the process was clear and frequent. He secured contractors for needed repairs/painting and kept them on target to reach a fast closing date. The support team made the listing details and required paperwork easy to lineup for going to market quickly as well. Give Gusty a call and you will not be disappointed!

ZillowVERIFIED This group is a well-oiled machine and they truly know what they are doing! Best home selling experience of my life and that is saying something because I am 70. Everyone in the process from Gusty on down could not have been nicer or more responsive. I will miss this house but I feel great knowing that I got the best deal I could have . This group obtained my contract in a record time of only 9 days: and the coveted full asking price and a cash buyer! Very happy camper!

ZillowVERIFIED Gusty was great to work with as a first time home buyer. He was knowledgeable about the process and great at communicating about it. When I changed my mind on a couple of my search requirements, Gusty was so kind and flexible with it. You can tell he genuinely cares that you are happy with your purchase and I never felt pressured into committing to something just for the sake of it.

ZillowVERIFIED I had used Gusty in the past to buy and sell homes. So I knew who to call when we needed to sell my parents home. Gusty helped my sister and me sell our parents home, and from the very beginning he understood how emotional the situation was. He guided us every step of the way with professionalism, empathy, and confidence, which made a difficult process so much easier. Gusty is like Nick SabanaEUR"trust his process, because it works. His knowledge, strategy, and attention to detail were impressive, and his entire team was incredibly helpful and responsive. We actually had multiple offers before the house officially went on the market. From start to finish, the communication was outstanding. We always felt informed, supported, and confident in the decisions being made. I would highly recommend Gusty and the Gusty Gulas Group to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

ZillowVERIFIED This is to thank Nicole, our real estate agent with The Gusty Gulas Group of Birmingham, AL for her excellent results listing and selling our house in Leeds, AL. Nicole came to our house to meet us, see our house, and explain The Gusty Gulas Group marketing system. She explained how she would list our house and all the steps the other Gusty Gulas team members would take get us aEURoetop dollaraEUR? in the sale. We liked Nicole and felt very comfortable listing with The Gusty Gulas Group. Nicole made the listing process easy for us, and we were tremendously impressed with the high quality of our listing web page and marketing brochures. Our first (and only) open house brought us two qualified buyers. Thanks to Nicole, both buyers made offers higher than our asking price! With excellent guidance from Nicole, we ended up selling to the second buyer. Laura, our Closing Coordinator, was always available for questions as she prepared us for the closing appointment. Closing went smoothly, and in less than 2 months from our decision to move, The Gusty Gulas Group in Birmingham, AL had sold our house! I recommend Nicole and The Gusty Gulas Group to anyone. They are Five Star real estate professionals!

ZillowVERIFIED When me and my girlfriend started looking at houses we didnt even think about a realtor. Then we met Nicole. I could see at first that Nicole was a go getter and you definitely want a realtor that works for you no matter what time or day it is. Nicole and her group made the process so easy. Especially this being the first house that we bought I thought it was going to be a nightmare. But thank you Nicole and the Gusty Gulas Group for working hard and being dedicated from the very beginning. We love our new home!

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Walker Gantt from the Gusty Gulas Group was a great experience. It was never difficult to get in contact with him, easy to talk too but also very professional. He helped answer whatever question I had or would find the answer in an efficient manner. Whatever tasks needed to be done, got done in a timely fashion. Lastly he went above and beyond to help with whatever was needed, no matter how small or big. If looking to find anything in the real estate whether it is a home or investment, Walker and Gusty Gulas is highly recommended

I didnt deal with Gusty, I worked with Garrett Messer. After all the hype, I was disappointed with Garretts attitude and the fact that I only saw him face to face one time prior to closing. I didnt see where he was showing the house but he made it a point to tell me I needed to clean the house really well every chance he got. If he was never in the house, how did he know how it looked? Yes, this was hurtful as well as being reminded that the house needed lots of work in his opinion. Never once did Garrett say, you have a nice home. If I were selling someones home, I would say something nice to them. When he came out to meet us, I told him it wasnt ready to show. It still needed work so it was expected not to be ready. He was pushing and pushing to meet so I finally said ok. When you get cold calls from someone for months and finally agree to meet with the understanding that its not ready, then its NOT ready. Instead, it was on the market that day. I didnt mind signing a contract but I didnt know that meant on the market. Thats not an issue. I had decided to go with Gusty Gulas when I sold several years ago. Garrett was just the most aggressive at the moment which seemed good. He did keep people looking and told me his marketing was working but my house was just not worth the $$. Its really a shame because I had a solid offer in October, 2021 for 275 with no commission involved. That offer was from someone who knows the market and was making a low offer. The couple are very familiar with the property and felt they were coming in about 30 low. I dont know what the house appraised for, it would be interesting to know, the appraiser was very nice. I was also very uncomfortable at the closing with the discussion of the purchasers personal information regarding what they had to do to qualify for the loan. I believe its very embarrassing for those things to be discussed with others present. If it were me, I would be mortified. Its the first time Ive been in a joint closing and I must say I hope its the last. Garrett did come help for a couple of hours the day of closing when we were trying to finish getting out of the house. I asked Garrett on Tuesday with closing on Thursday to contact the purchasers and let them know that we needed until Friday to finish cleaning out. He flat refused. I asked him again Wednesday to contact the purchasers and let them know we needed until Friday, again he flat refused. Thursday am Garrett showed up and helped for a couple of hours and said were going to have to give them something for being late in a very snotty tone like I was a 2 year old. Since I had been trying to get him to work something out with them for 2 days I was quite aggravated and told him that this wasnt my first time selling a house and I wasnt am idiot. He basically stomped out and I didnt hear anything else. When I got to closing, I was TOLD I was paying for a hotel and a maid to clean the house. Again, with my nasty house. I said, excuse me, where did this come from? Garrett and the other realtor gave me an aEUR~eat shit and die look and went back to their chat. The other realtor asked Garrett about him getting a dumpster out to the house, I said, I did. After all, I signed the contract and set up payment which is what initiated the dumpster coming out and I called for it to be picked up. Garrett proceeded to tell her all about how many favors he called in to get the dumpster out there. Lol. I happen to have 30 years running construction offices and know the owners of a couple of dumpster companies too. Its not that big of a deal. We left the house to go to the dump and eat Thursday evening and Garrett was blowing up my phone wanting to know where we were. I was ready to go off on him and gave the phone to my son after texting, aEUR~are we not allowed to eat? I dont know what the conversation was but when we got back to the house after dinner the new owner said lets call it a night and finish tomorrow. Between the new owners and ourselves, we determined that the biggest problem we were having was that realtors. Things were much better when we dealt with each other without Garrett and his counterpart.

ZillowVERIFIED Lauren Emery was the absolute best realtor. She went above and beyond for us to make sure the sale of our home went smoothly. She answered all of our questions, and explained the whole process step by step. There arent words to express how thankful we are for her and we will always recommend her and The Gusty Gulas Group.

ZillowVERIFIED As a divorce agreement I had to sell my Vestavia home after the HS graduation of my youngest son. I had also to find a new home for my family and I not to mention we loved our Vestavia house. In the middle of such emotional process we found Ashley Carlson from Gusty Gulas Group. Her hard work made possible the selling of a house that it is quite unique in the area and required a buyer with a taste for different. And there was then to find a home for me, which we did. She guided me, supported me and was always there for answering my questions and doubts. She was always ahead taking all steps giving no room for failures. Thank you Ashley.

ZillowVERIFIED I am a single disabled female over 50, who had not purchased a home in over 25 years. I decided to take a leap of faith and use my new found post divorce freedom, to look into relocating from Virginia to Alabama to be closer to my daughter & new grand baby. I knew the home buying process would likely feel intimidating and overwhelming, and I wasnt sure if I could even make it happen. That is, till I was contacted by Ashley with Gusty Gulas Group. She and her team (including Jason Cook with Brik Mortgage) seemed determined to do whatever it took to make my dream of home ownership a reality. And thats exactly what they did! Ashley took the time to understand exactly what my needs were, and helped me to find just the right house to meet those needs. I'm so thankful we found each other and for her helping me start this next chapter of my life as a homeowner. Now that Ill be living closer to family I'm looking forward to making all the memories a new grandmothers house (and heart) can hold.

ZillowVERIFIED I have met very few people who work as hard as Bailey Tolbert. Bailey was on top of her game every step of the way! My husband and I were in a transitional and very stressful stage of our lives, and Bailey took away all of the stress of selling a home. She told us how to get top dollar and even found people to make necessary repairs on our house. When we couldnt be home, Bailey would be at our house while work was being done. We listed our house on a Thursday, and by Sunday we had several offers all over listing price. None of this would have happened without Bailey and the Gusty Gulas team. If you want top dollar for your house and a reliable hardworker, you have to work with Bailey!!

ZillowVERIFIED I worked with graham for over 6 months. He was patient and dedicated as he showed me over 30+ homes, went through 6 offers, and eventually landed on the perfect house. He was knowledgeable about the area, the current market climate, and had the best contacts for lenders, contractors, and inspections etc. If you have any real estate needs in the Birmingham AL and surrounding area, Graham is your guy!

ZillowVERIFIED My transaction with Susie was a bit unique as I was out of state for the purchase. She was extremely friendly and prompt as we started the search but as time went on she became more focused on getting the transaction completed rather than helping us find the perfect home.Ultimately we are glad we purchased the home we did but there are a lot of things we would do differently. Especially during the negotiation phase of the purchase. It seemed like everything we felt we should push back on she was basically running interference for the seller. The inspection was probably the catalyst though that made us sure we wouldnt work with her again. We were researching inspectors in the area when she came to us with aEURoeher guyaEUR? who she vouched for as the absolute best. Obviously, this was an important step for us and her being the local expert we deferred to her judgement. Lets just say her inspector was far from an expert. There were a ton of things missed during the inspection. The frustrating thing is we had two other inspectors with amazing reviews we were looking at before she recommended hers. Come to find out after the fact that her inspector has a 2-3 star review on most sites. Overall, she was not a champion for the buyer. I dont know how she is as a sellers agent, but I would advise others to steer clear if you are looking for a buyers advocate.

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Jon Riddle was the best choice I've made in a long time. He went above and beyond for me. I knew absolutely nothing about selling my home, and he took me step by step through the process. Never minded when I called with what was probably a foolish question. Always pleasant, competent and goal oriented. It took only two days of open house to sell, and I got a very good price. He was there for the closing and honestly, if he hadn't helped me, I don't know what I would have done. Thanks and many blessings to all involved at Gusty Gulas Group!

ZillowVERIFIED After having no success selling our house with an independent agent, we contacted the Gusty Gulas Group. They paired us with an amazing real-estate agent, John Micheal Brannon. John Micheal poured his time and energy into our family. He sold our house and helped us find the perfect new home. The Gusty Gulas Group made the entire process seemless from start to finish. The Gusty Gulas Group goes over and beyond for their clients, that is why we did not hesitate to contact John Micheal when we found out we were relocating out of state. Once again, he went above and beyond for our family and sold our house quickly and effortlessly. We highly recommend John Micheal Brannon and the Gusty Gulas Group if you are looking to buy or sell a house.

ZillowVERIFIED We choose Justin with Gusty Group because of their expertise in the Real estate business. Justin sent us a list of homes for sale based on what we wanted and could afford and we looked at 3 houses and the 3rd house was the one. The process from that day forward was seamless and the service provided by Justin and his team was phenomenal. 30 days later we are in our new home and love it. I would highly recommend Justin and the Gusty Group to everyone needing to purchase a home.
