Hi, Im Melvin Upchurch!!
I am a U.S. Air Force Veteran that used my GI Bill benefits to pay my way through college ( Millsaps Jackson, MS). I began my career as a CPA with KPMG & worked my way up the corporate ladder to become the CFO of a local bank and the President of a regional mortgage company. I left the corporate world to pursue my passion for real estate in 1997.
My real estate career has included being a Realtor since 1998, obtaining a home builders license, building custom homes, flipping hundreds of homes, creating a large residential real estate rental portfolio which I managed for over 20 years, and assisting hundreds of buyers and sellers in buying and selling homes.
I am originally from Mississippi, but I have lived in the Birmingham area for over 30 years. I have 2 adult children, Ali and Zac, and a grandson, Fitz. My wife of 20 years, Jill, is a Pittsburgh native that played tennis for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. She came to Birmingham to be the tennis pro at The Country Club of Birmingham. Jill and I have a 12-year-old son, Bram, who is a competitive golfer. Our lives revolve around our Church and Brams golf tournaments. Family time is our favorite time. I am a health enthusiast and a big believer in personal growth & having a growth mindset.
I have over 250 verified 5-star Zillow reviews from very appreciative clients. In this tough market, I have been very successful in helping my buyers win the bidding wars! I also co-own and am the Broker for LIST Birmingham a full service/flat fee brokerage. My average seller saved over 9,000 dollars in commission in 2021.
If you are interested in being professionally represented in the purchase of a home or, it is time to sell your home, Id greatly appreciate the opportunity to speak with you.
All the best, Melvin Upchurch
