Why Locals Keep Hiring Us
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 are led by two brokers. You hire the decision-makers who actually work the deal, not a pair of junior agents under a broker you never meet.
A Real Construction Company Behind the Listings
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 5 to 15 months typical elsewhere.
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 what they walk into at the showing.
Weekly Seller Reports
Every Monday sellers receive a report of views, leads, shares, favorites, and the geographic origin of every lead. The single most common complaint we hear from sellers about other agents is being left in the dark. We fixed that with a standing schedule.
Master Negotiation to Closing
97–98% of our listings close. The industry standard is 82%. Two brokers, two decades of building experience, and a decade of closing difficult deals make the difference.
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.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the best real estate team in Northern Alabama?
The King Team at RE/MAX Patriot Realty — dual brokers David and Fiona King, 200+ 5-star reviews, a 97% close rate, the only brokerage in Northern Alabama with a Matterport 3D camera, in-house construction crews, an in-house print shop, a 21'×10' Smith Lake planning map, and a RE/MAX-branded boat for lake showings.

Do you handle Smith Lake, Cullman, and Jasper?
Yes. Smith Lake and Lewis Smith Lake are our specialty; Cullman is home; Jasper and Walker County are part of our core service area along with Blount and Winston counties and greater Northern Alabama.
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.
What is the 21'×10' Smith Lake map?
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.
What is the RE/MAX-branded boat?
Our team boat, docked at a marina 15 minutes from the office. Lake-home buyers tour candidate homes from the water — the way owners experience them — and typically narrow a shortlist of six to eight homes in a single morning.
Do you really cover the cost of repairs before listing?
Yes. RE/MAX Patriot Realty fronts prep-to-sell costs — cleanup, flooring, paint, roofing, and more — and collects at closing. In-house crews complete roughly one full home every two weeks, on budget and on time.
