hen Hank and Debbie Bowman drove into The Preserve for the first time, they fell in love with the architecture. “There is no other neighborhood like this,” says Debbie. “All the porches lining the sidewalks are so welcoming.”

The couple was impressed with the community enough to build a home there and to hold their wedding at Town Hall. “We were one of the first weddings in The Preserve,” says Hank.

For more information on The Preserve, visit www.hooverpreserve.com or call the on-site sales and information center at (205) 822-9348.

A special memory for Debbie is the spontaneous breakfast they hosted with neighbors one winter when it snowed. “We played outside and then decided to gather and make a family-style breakfast. We’ve made it a tradition to do a breakfast every year since, whether or not it snows!”

Merry Leach, a RealtySouth agent who handles onsite sales for The Preserve, believes the location near I-65 and I-459 at the heart of Hoover’s shopping and restaurant scene contributes to the In the eight years they’ve lived in their classic unique lifestyle. “We’re not stuck in traffic. southern cottage, the Bowman family has grown to include daughters Sophie and Paige. “We live We’re close to everything, but tucked away in the across the street from a pond,” says Debbie. “The trees, surrounded by a nature preserve.” girls love to feed the fish or geese.

Designed to capture the spirit of great turn-of-thecentury neighborhoods, The Preserve’s traditional architecture features front porches for receiving guests and providing areas for quiet family time.

Based on classic American home towns, a variety of styles and sizes are offered to meet the desires of all types of families – from magnificent estate homes to classic cottages; from early Colonial and Federal to Greek Revival, Italianate and Victorian influences. Each unique home is built in a historical southern style.

In keeping with The Preserve’s respect for the environment, each home is encouraged to adhere to strict standards for maximum energy conservation and savings. From young professionals in their first homes and those with growing families, to downsizing empty-nesters, retirees and seniors, there truly is a housing style and size to fit almost every individual and family need.

While Birmingham is a vibrant city with hundreds of entertainment opportunities, The Preserve hosts an exciting calendar of events that have become annual traditions for residents – right in their own backyard. Taking advantage of our long warmweather seasons, our outdoor festivities include an enormous Easter Egg Hunt on the Village Green every spring; a covered dish feast for the Fourth of July; a blockbuster Halloween Parade; an annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony; and a “Mingle with Kringle” breakfast with Santa Claus. Throughout the year, there are neighborhood gatherings, like “Mom’s Night Out,” and a number of 5K charity runs. The community is known throughout the region for hosting some of the best art and music festivals.

Hoover's Best Neighborhood is home to 2013 Best Restaurant The Boot, and opening Soon: Vecchia, a new Italian eatery by well known chef Benard Tamburello.

ARC Realty leads state in Industry Growth

S

ince launching ARC Realty a little more than a year ago, founding partners Tommy Brigham, Beau Bevis, Mechelle Wilder and Dale McIntyre have watched their company grow rapidly, attracting 90 of Central Alabama’s top REALTORS with a 2013 sales volume totaling close to $160 million, making them the fastest growing brokerage in the state.

According to Chairman Tommy Brigham, ARC’s success is due to their professional approach in attracting top talent, providing superior relocation services and being involved in community leadership. “Our agents are our true customers,” says Brigham. “By providing them the best technologies and professional resources, we’ve been able to attract top talent, which, in turn, allows us to take great care of our customers.”

ARC Realty customers Jeremy and Bridget Roop with son Rush. “We shopped online for our first home,” says Jeremy. “We emailed Michael Murphree our questions. He got back with us instantly, and guided us through the process.”

Vice President of Corporate and Relocation Services Marie Lawrence, CRP (Certified Relocation Professional) is adept at connecting the needs and desires of transferees, whether moving in or out of Birmingham. “By serving Birmingham’s top corporations and institutions, ARC Realty’s Relocation Services accounted for more than $20 million in sales last year,” says Lawrence, who helped relocate families by placing and receiving referrals from Alaska to Florida. “Our experience in national and international relocations ensures the highest level of customer satisfaction.”

ARC Chairman Tommy Brigham was recently featured in two local magazines: as a “Ground Breaker” in Birmingham Magazine; and as “The Face of Real Estate” in B-Metro. He serves on the Board of the Birmingham Business Alliance, a catalyst to economic development in the seven county metro area. ARC actively assists in the region’s employment growth and job creation through Relocation Services.

Partner and Associate Broker Mechelle Wilder says, “Since day one, ARC Realty has promoted Birmingham. We’re involved in this business community and civic organizations, through churches, neighborhood associations and schools.

That keeps us connected to the special qualities that make our city unique, which gives us a distinct advantage matching buyers with homes, sellers and agents.”

According to President and Qualifying Broker Beau Bevis, the Birmingham market, which experienced 10.3% in sales growth in 2013, should continue to improve in 2014 as inventories shrink. “We have enthusiastic buyers again,” says Bevis. “The eight month supply we saw in December is a significant improvement, considering three years ago we had a 14-month supply.”

The company has two offices in Birmingham: a corporate headquarters in Cahaba Heights and a satellite office on Valleydale Road. For information on buying or selling a home or becoming an ARC agent, visit us online at www.arcrealtyco.com.

ARC Realty agents have extensive experience in national and international sales, relocation services and representing home builders. The home above on Euclid Avenue in Crestline Village is one of two projects ARC is partnering to bring to market. The agent team (below) produced record growth in 2013.
