How We Help
A realtor for how you actually want to live here
Our job is to help you balance your wants and needs against what's on the market — so you make the right move, not just the first one you see.
New Construction
From inland Gulf Shores and Foley to the Eastern Shore, we'll help you navigate builders, timelines, and contracts so a new build goes smoothly.
Single-Family Homes
Beyond the condos people picture, the coast has real neighborhoods. We focus on single-family homes that fit how you actually want to live here.
Second Homes
A place to gather, slow down, and eventually spend more time. We help you weigh location, resale, and the real costs of coastal ownership.
Relocation
Moving from out of state? We guide you through beach-vs-bayfront-vs-inland trade-offs, Baldwin County schools, and commutes to Mobile or Pensacola.

Gulf Shores Realtor FAQs
Absolutely — a large share of Gulf Coast buyers come from out of state, and we do this every season. We can tour homes on your behalf, walk you through the market remotely, and coordinate the details so a long-distance purchase or sale stays low-stress.
It helps a lot. Coastal buying involves flood zones, insurance, new-construction contracts, and big differences between communities that are easy to miss from out of town. A local agent helps you balance your priorities against what’s actually available — and in most transactions the seller pays the buyer’s agent commission, so representation typically costs you nothing directly.
Look for an agent who actually works Baldwin County day to day, knows the difference between beach, bayfront, and inland markets, and will give you an honest read rather than a sales pitch. Jess & Co. Real Estate, partnered with Wellhouse Real Estate, works the whole coast from our office at The Wharf in Orange Beach, and our 111+ five-star reviews reflect that hands-on approach.
Yes. On a coastal purchase, having your own agent means someone represents your interests — not the seller’s or the builder’s. It matters here because insurance, elevation, flood zones, HOA rules, and construction details all affect the decision. Jess & Co. helps you evaluate those on any Gulf Coast home, whether it’s a resale, new construction, or a condo. Bring us along to a showing, or let us set one up.
Yes. Jess & Co. serves both markets, which makes a St. Louis to Gulf Coast move simpler to coordinate. The same team can help you sell in North County or St. Charles County and buy in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, or Fort Morgan, aligning both closings so you are not carrying two properties longer than needed.
Yes. Jess & Co. works with new construction across Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and Fort Morgan. The team can represent you with builders, review the contract and finish schedule, and make sure your interests are protected on price, timeline, and inspections rather than relying on the builder’s in-house agent.
Yes. Coastal condos are common in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, and many buyers choose them as a second home or a low-maintenance way to own near the water. Jess & Co. helps you review the building’s rules, HOA and insurance costs, and how each community is managed before you make an offer. If you’d prefer a single-family home, Fort Morgan and the inland Baldwin County communities offer that too — we’ll help you compare.
Yes. Second homes are a core focus for Jess & Co. on the Alabama Gulf Coast. The team helps buyers in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and Fort Morgan compare single-family homes, waterfront properties, and coastal condos, and weigh carrying costs, insurance, and location against how you plan to use the home. Whether it’s a getaway now or a future primary residence, we help you make the call that fits your goals. Reach the Gulf Coast market at (251) 923-7160.
