About

Andrew Elmore

Director of Sales, REALTOR®

With over five years of experience in the Tuscaloosa real estate market, I bring a strong understanding of local trends and a commitment to helping my clients reach their real estate goals—whether buying, selling, or investing. Before real estate, I spent six years in sales serving clients across Alabama, giving me a statewide perspective and a client-first mindset. Having lived in Gordo, Birmingham, Fosters, and now Northport, I know firsthand what makes Alabama such a great place to call home. I'm proud to serve this community while raising my growing family—my wife Cheryl and I recently welcomed our son, Lincoln, and we share our home with two beloved dogs. I believe in providing exceptional service, clear communication, and a stress-free experience from start to finish. Real estate is about more than just property—it's about people, and I'm here to guide you every step of the way.
