  You Actually Get a Say: Baldwin County's Draft Master Plan 2026

  Aug 8, 20266 min

  Baldwin County is one of the fastest-growing counties in Alabama — and right now there's a document on the county website that shapes land use, roads, infrastructure, and open space for years, open for public comment before the fall votes. In this episode I break down what the Draft Master Plan 2026 actually is, why a land-use plan touches your street more directly than it sounds, and how a handful of residents who speak up carry outsized weight. I also point you toward a free community program, 'Building Baldwin County: Balancing Real Estate, Growth and Community,' on Aug. 13 at the USA by the Bay Auditorium in downtown Fairhope with Dr. Grayson Glaze of the University of South Alabama. Whether you're planted here for good or researching a move to the Gulf Coast, this is the quiet stuff that shapes the rest. Questions about buying or selling as the county grows?

  Reading Foley: Why the Small Stuff Downtown Tells You More Than the Big News

  Aug 3, 20267 min

  Foley, Alabama is growing, and most people are watching the biggest projects on the board — the indoor aquatic center, the Wolf Creek Park boardwalk, the 99-acre Magnolia Walk development. Katie has covered each of those in earlier content, so this episode goes the other direction. She walks through the quieter changes that actually shape daily life: the new 40,000-square-foot public library opening August 4 on East Orange Avenue, Half Shell Oyster House opening in the historic Foley Bakery building downtown, and Foley Main Street's new Friends of Downtown Foley giving program. Along the way, she shares the framework she uses with relocating clients for reading whether a growing town is becoming a place you'd actually want to stay — not just a place spending money. If you're considering a move to Foley or anywhere along the Alabama and Florida Gulf Coast, this is the honest version of what growth looks like. Questions or want to talk through a move? Call or text Katie at 256-366-6974.

  Why I Wasn't Ready at 25 — And Why That's the Point

  Apr 6, 202614 min

  Katie gets personal in this episode — talking about what exotic animal training, a decade of massage therapy, a wrist injury, a boot and crutches, and a colleague's well-timed nudge all had to do with her becoming a real estate agent at 40. This one is specifically for two people: someone considering real estate as a second (or third) career, and someone early in their agent journey who's already starting to feel the burn. The through-line: as your expertise grows, your income should not shrink.
