We are from Florida and were looking to purchase land in Alabama, and we could not have asked for a better realtor! John Havard truly went above and beyond for us throughout the entire process.

We looked at 50+ acre properties and probably asked him to see more properties than we can remember, but he never once got frustrated or made us feel like we were asking too much. He was always willing to jump in the car or side by side and show us another property.

Anytime we had questions about floodplains, wetlands, or anything else concerning the properties, he took the time to do the research and dig into the details for us. He also sent us properties that he thought might be a good fit.

And even after closing, when we ran into some car trouble, he went above and beyond to help us out. That really says a lot about the kind of person he is—not just the kind of realtor he is.

We are so grateful we found him and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in Alabama. He is knowledgeable, patient, responsive, and genuinely a great guy. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

He found us the farm of our dreams. Every single item on our wish list was there. He was always positive that we would find what we wanted and needed. We would and do recommend him to everyone!!!

Chris Padgett has been amazing to work with!

I had a tract of land that was oddly cut and not readily road accessible. I knew going in it would take time and the right buyer to get it sold, but it also took the right realtor.

Chris worked tirelessly to get my land advertised. He wasn't afraid to get out there in the muck and dirt to get good photos of my property or tour potential buyers around.

He has always been responsive when I've had questions or concerns and genuinely seems to enjoy his work. He gets down to business and will give you feedback about what's causing potential buyers to hesitate.

In the end he found me a great buyer, someone who fit exactly what we needed: a go-getter, willing to smooth out the rough edges of the property. We ended up closing early thanks to Chris's intuition about the buyer being our guy!

Chris will always be my go to recommendation for anyone looking to sell in north AL. Thank you for all your hard work and may God bless you!

Brett took the extra time to listen to our needs and found the perfect property for us. We used him multiple times to buy and sell timber property and purchase our farm. I highly recommend him for any real estate transactions.

Chris Padgett was great to work with. He helped me navigate the land buying process, was easy to reach, and communication was a breeze. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy property.

When it was time to sell a large family tract out of state from where our family currently lives we did some research and found Chris could be the one to help us. We knew we didn’t have a great access to our property and Chris quickly identified a small adjacent piece of land that might be available at a very good price and give us the better access off a paved road we needed. We secured the land, did our due diligence and listed our family tract at a much higher price than we first thought. We had an offer within a week and have recently officially sold it. Give Chris Padgett a call and talk your needs through with him.

When it was time to sell a family piece of land near Birmingham, I knew it was crucial to have an agent who understood the area inside out. A quick Google search led me to Chris, and after just one call, I felt confident he was the right person for the job! Chris Padgett walked the land with us the and gave us some great advice that helped us make an extra $200,000+ by assembling the property with a neighboring track to improve access. He is a skilled negotiator and knowledgeable with land, I would recommend!

I listed a piece of investment property with Chris Padgett, and he was great. Very responsive and knowledgeable; answered questions promptly and completely. Sold my property for an excellent price within a few weeks of my first contact with him. I highly recommend Chris!

– Sandy B. (March 10, 2026)

I had the pleasure of working with Chris Padgett to purchase my very first tract of land. His knowledge of all aspects of land is second to none. He walked the land and even allowed me to fish the creek to see what species were there and we caught several. He taught me a lot about my tract and land investment in general. I highly recommend Chris for both buying and selling land for any use.

– Trudie H. (February 16, 2026)

Chris Padgett did a great job handling the transaction. Very communicative, honest, and knowledgeable. Look forward to working with him again.

I want to thank Matt Behr for the hard work and patience for our new hunting property. It's amazing he made my dream come true. I highly recommend Matt if you're in need of land. Let him make your dream come true too!

I live in Virginia, but owned a secluded 60 acre wooded parcel with a lake north of Ozark, AL. I had followed the National Land Realty emails highlighting similar properties for years, and always thought they would be the best agent to list the property with, if I ever decided to sell the parcel. On a trip to Ozark, I contacted agent Averi Whitfield to look over the property and get her recommendations. I was immediately impressed with her assessment of the property, and her Jeep driving skills, boldly driving up washed out logging roads that required pushing down small pines to turn around. We quickly reached an agreement to list the property. She followed up with a great description and photos emphasizing unique and subtle features of the property. She presented a serious offer in less that a month from our initial meeting. There were some details with easements with a third party, which she navigated. The net result was the buyer bought both parcels and all three parties are very pleased. Averi handled everything professionally on her end, while keeping me informed. The entire transaction was closed in under 90 days from our initial meeting, without need for me to travel back to Ozark. Could not ask for more.

Chris Padgett was a pleasure to work with. He was thorough and efficient in the process of listing my property, as well as showing and selling it. His communication throughout the process was excellent. I always felt updated along the way. I will definitely use Chris in future listings.

Mrs. R.S Bell is simply a GEM! Not only is she extremely knowledgeable and have mastered this industry, but she truly goes above and beyond client expectations and not only ensures that I always get the very best deal for the space of my choosing, but she also explains the entire process, contract verbiage and the meticulous nuances of the industry with crystal clarity! This is now my second time working with R.S Bell and just like 3 years prior to now, she is absolutely PHENOMENAL! 10 out of 10! I am forever grateful and thankful!

I recently worked a land deal across the table from Robert McBride. Throughout the whole process, he was extremely professional and easy to communicate with. After working with him for only a few weeks, I can honestly say you’ll not only have a great experience but also gain a new friend. I’d be happy to work with Robert anytime.

– John D. (August 21, 2025)

I had the pleasure of being shown some land I was interested in purchasing by Chris Padgett. He drove me all over the open and wooded acreage. I have to say that he went above and beyond and is continuing to do so even after the purchase was complete. If I could give Chris Padgett more than 5 stars, I certainly would. I highly recommend using his services if you are in need of an agent.
