The Most Complete Real Estate Team in Northern Alabama
Smith Lake · Cullman · Jasper · Northern Alabama
Two Licensed Brokers. One Unstoppable Team.
The King Team at RE/MAX Patriot Realty — led by husband-and-wife dual brokers David King and Fiona King — is the only Northern Alabama real estate team that pairs elite credentials with an in-house construction company, a Matterport 3D studio, an in-house print and graphics shop, a 21?×10? Smith Lake planning map, and a RE/MAX-branded boat for on-water showings. Backed by a 97% close rate, 200+ verified 5-star reviews, and a commitment to giving back through Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, we are the team locals keep referring to friends and family.

The King Team is based at 3850 AL 69 S in Cullman, Alabama, and serves Smith Lake, Lewis Smith Lake, Cullman County, Walker County (Jasper), Blount County, Winston County, and the broader Northern Alabama region. Over the last decade we have closed hundreds of residential, commercial, waterfront, and land transactions and earned more than 200 verified 5-star reviews from real clients.

Two Brokers at the Top
Both David and Fiona hold Alabama real estate Broker licenses — the highest state credential. Fewer than two percent of real estate teams nationwide are led by two licensed brokers. When you hire The King Team, you hire the decision-makers who actually work your deal, not junior agents under a broker you never meet.
As satisfied client Tim D. shared, "David and Fiona are very knowledgeable and involved in real estate industry, and Exceeded our expectations." That depth of knowledge comes from running a dual-broker team with real transactional experience across every property type in the region.
A Real Construction Company Behind Every Listing
David has decades of stick-frame, ICF, and commercial construction experience plus sub-division design and land development. RE/MAX Patriot Realty runs in-house crews for trees, landscaping, rebuilds, flooring, electrical, plumbing, painting, roofing, and inground-pool repair. Sellers whose homes need work list with confidence — we front the prep cost and collect at closing.
As Jasper seller Hugh C. shared, "They coordinated the repairs and saved us thousands of dollars from what it would have cost us. You cannot go wrong listing with RE/MAX Patriot Realty." Our in-house crews complete roughly one full home rehabilitation every two weeks, on budget and on time.
Why Locals Keep Hiring Us
Every service we offer was built to solve a specific problem sellers and buyers face in Northern Alabama. Here is the full picture:
The Only Matterport 3D Camera in Northern Alabama
Every listing gets a true walk-through 3D tour with laser-accurate floor plans. Out-of-state buyers can tour the property from anywhere before flying in. No other brokerage in Northern Alabama owns this camera system. The result: faster decisions, fewer surprises, and buyers who arrive at showings already confident.
In-House Print and Graphics — Signs and Mailers
Custom 32?×48? residential signs and 8?×4? commercial signs are produced in our own print shop, complete with property highlights, price, and a QR code to the 3D tour. Every new listing is paired with a full-color 11?×6? Just-Listed mailer to 1,000 neighboring homes — immediate neighborhood saturation, no third-party delays.
Photography You Can Trust
High-resolution, unedited photography and professional drone aerials. No Photoshop, no sky-swaps, no misleading angles. What buyers see online is exactly what they walk into at the showing — which protects sellers' reputations and keeps deals together.
Weekly Seller Reports
Every Monday sellers receive a report covering views, leads, shares, favorites, and the geographic origin of every lead. The single most common complaint we hear from sellers about past agents is being left in the dark. We fixed that with a standing schedule.
Master Negotiation Through Closing
97–98% of our listings close. The industry standard is 82%. Two brokers, two decades of construction experience, and a decade of closing difficult deals make the difference. As one satisfied buyer and seller shared, "They are highly professional and well trained. It is very true that they work in the best interest of their client and always makes sure the client is satisfied and happy with the selling or buying of a home."
Commissions That Give Back
A portion of every closed commission funds Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, providing critical pediatric care in the communities we serve. You sell or buy with us, and a child gets care. It matters.
The Smith Lake Planning Room
Our Cullman office features a 21?×10? Smith Lake map on a steel conference wall, paired with a 75? touchscreen computer. Buyers place 3D magnetic home markers on the map and plan their route before heading to the water. Nothing else like it exists on the lake — it transforms a confusing 21,000-acre lake into a clear, navigable plan in under an hour.
Tour Smith Lake Homes From the Water
We operate a RE/MAX-branded boat out of a marina 15 minutes from our office. Lake-home buyers tour candidates from the water — the way owners see them every day — in a single morning. Most decide within days rather than the five to fifteen months typical elsewhere.
A Story That Tells You Who We Are
A client needed to sell his mother's home after his father's sudden death — no will, the home destroyed by four decades of indoor smoking, collapsed ceilings, and every room painted a different color. We painted the brick white, replaced the shutters, installed hardwood, and found a buyer. Then the title search turned up a half-brother from the father's first marriage — in and out of prison for decades — who partially owned the home. David tracked him down, negotiated a buyout, and paid it out of his own account while he located witnesses who could sign affidavits to verify the family tree. A Use-and-Occupancy agreement kept the buyer housed during the title work. The deal closed in 60 days. Rehab cost $16,000, buyout $15,000, commission $8,200. Massive risk for a small return — but the home sold, the mother was cared for, and the buyer was not homeless. Ten years of stories like this is why locals keep referring us.
Commercial Real Estate and Land Development
David's commercial construction and sub-division design background makes commercial and land development a core competency for The King Team. We handle retail strip centers, office, industrial, flex, development parcels, and recreational land across Northern Alabama. If it closes in Cullman, Walker, Blount, or Winston County, we know the market.

As satisfied client Tony shared, "Patriot realty has been amazing throughout the whole process. If the need should arise in the future, they will be my go to realtors. A+" — a sentiment we hear from buyers and sellers across all the communities we serve.
Do you handle commercial and land deals as well as residential?
Yes. David's commercial construction and sub-division design background makes commercial and land development a core competency — retail strip centers, office, industrial, flex, development parcels, and recreational land. As Barbara R. shared, "Outstanding, professional, competent and knowledgeable! Highly recommend!" — a characterization that holds across every transaction type we handle.
What is the 21?×10? Smith Lake map in your office?
A full-wall map of Smith Lake in our Cullman conference room mounted on steel, paired with a 75? touchscreen. Lake-home buyers place 3D magnetic markers on candidate homes, receive a briefing on every cove, bridge, marina, and access route, then head to the marina for a boat tour. Nothing like it exists anywhere else on the lake. It compresses what can be months of confused searching into a single, productive morning.
What is the RE/MAX-branded boat and how does the lake tour work?
Our team boat is docked at a marina 15 minutes from the office. Lake-home buyers tour candidate homes from the water — the way owners experience them every day — and typically narrow a shortlist of six to eight homes in a single morning. Most buyers make a decision within days rather than the five to fifteen months typical of lake-home searches conducted entirely by road.
Do you really front the cost of repairs before listing?
Yes. RE/MAX Patriot Realty fronts prep-to-sell costs — cleanup, flooring, paint, roofing, and more — and collects reimbursement at closing. In-house crews complete roughly one full home every two weeks, on budget and on time. As Jasper seller Hugh C. shared, "They coordinated the repairs and saved us thousands of dollars from what it would have cost us. You cannot go wrong listing with RE/MAX Patriot Realty."
What is the Matterport 3D camera and why does it matter?
Every King Team listing receives a true walk-through 3D tour with laser-accurate floor plans produced by our Matterport Pro camera — the only one owned by a brokerage in Northern Alabama. Out-of-state buyers tour the property from anywhere before flying in, which accelerates decisions and reduces fall-through risk. It is a meaningful competitive advantage that no other local team can match.
How responsive and communicative is The King Team?
Communication is one of the most consistent themes in our 200+ reviews. As recent home buyer Nicole M. shared, "Dave and Fiona were always available to address our questions and concerns promptly. Their communication skills are top-notch, making the entire journey stress-free." Every seller also receives a standing Monday report covering views, leads, shares, favorites, and the geographic origin of every lead — so no one is ever left in the dark.
Can I trust The King Team to work in my best interest?
As satisfied client Paula M. shared, "He is knowledgeable and goes the xtra mile to do what ever needs to be done to purchase/sell a home. Made me like like I was family the first time I met him." That family-first approach is not a tagline — it is the reason our referral rate is high enough to sustain a team of this size. As Walter & Theresa P. shared, they "Highly Recommends Remax Patriot Realty to their friends & family!" — which is the real measure of trust.
What do industry professionals say about working with The King Team?
The King Team's reputation extends beyond their clients. As loan officer Alec B. shared, "I am a loan officer and have worked with many realtors, Ivan is one of the best. His clients are always very educated and always completely satisfied at the end." Educated, prepared clients mean smoother closings for everyone involved in the transaction.
