Shelby Stricklin

Shelby Stricklin advises buyers to get pre-approved early, know their budget, and work with a REALTOR® who understands both the local market and their personal needs. She encourages buyers to be prepared to act quickly in competitive areas like Huntsville and Madison, while still taking the time to find the right fit for their lifestyle. With her guidance, buyers gain the confidence and strategy they need to make smart, informed decisions.

Shelby recommends that sellers focus on preparation and presentation. Homes that are priced right, staged effectively, and marketed strategically sell faster and for more money. She and her team use professional photography, targeted marketing, and local expertise to maximize each home’s value. Shelby’s advice: trust the process, follow proven guidance, and let her team’s systems go to work for you.

Shelby has worked with a wide range of clients, including first-time homebuyers, move-up buyers, downsizers, and investors. She is highly experienced with relocation clients moving to Huntsville for aerospace, tech, and military careers, as well as families building custom homes with Neely Custom Homes. Whether buying, selling, or building, Shelby tailors her approach to fit each client’s unique needs.

One of Shelby’s favorite recent transactions involved helping a relocating family from out of state find their perfect home in Madison. They were nervous about buying from a distance, but Shelby coordinated virtual tours, kept communication clear, and guided them through every step. By the time they arrived in Huntsville, their home was ready — and the family felt instantly at ease. Shelby says these kinds of moves are the most rewarding, because she gets to take a stressful situation and make it smooth and joyful.

Shelby began her real estate career over 20 years ago with a passion for helping people. She was drawn to the industry because it combined her love of working with others, her interest in homes and design, and her drive to build a career that made an impact in her community. What started as a job quickly grew into a calling, and today she leads The Shelby Stricklin Team at REMAX Alliance, consistently ranking among the area’s top REALTORS®.

Shelby has earned advanced recognition within REMAX, including Platinum and Chairman awards, and has been featured on REMAX University for her marketing and leadership expertise. She consistently invests in professional development, attends national real estate conferences, and partners closely with local builders like Neely Custom Homes to stay ahead of market trends. This ongoing training ensures her clients benefit from cutting-edge marketing, strong negotiation skills, and insider knowledge of the Huntsville and Madison real estate markets.
