Meet the Realtors 🌟

Katherine Littrell

Before beginning her career in real estate, Katherine Littrell was a stay-at-home-mom-turned-entrepreneur. She and her business partner launched Tastebuds, an enrichment program for preschool children that used STEM concepts and a curriculum centered around cooking, gardening and crafting.

After the pandemic, she and her business partner made the hard decision to shut down Tastebuds. Despite that difficult choice, she knew it was the perfect opportunity to move into real estate and begin working directly with people while they make decisions on their homes.

“I absolutely love interacting with and helping people. As a real estate agent, I am allowed the flexibility to be the wife and mother I have been, and I get to work with lots of wonderful people—not only in my office but with my clients. It’s truly the best home/work life I could ask for. I never regret that decision—it is so rewarding.”

Mary Harmon Muir-Taylor

Mary Harmon’s career included public accounting and campus recruiting in the professional services industry before she moved into a career in real estate.

“Between my experience with accounting and recruiting, I realized that my draw to the responsible decision-making process mirrors what happens in home buying. This was a natural next step for me.

I always had the itch for real estate but confirmed my interest when I went through the home buying process myself. I saw how important it was to have a good agent. The relationship and service side of real estate was what made the industry most appealing.”

Frances Richardson

Frances knew a career in real estate was in her future—so much so that she minored in it at The University of Alabama! Through her work with a top Tuscaloosa Realtor and internship with a commercial real estate firm in Manhattan, she became even more passionate about the industry.

“I fell in love with the spontaneity every day held. Whether the day consisted of touring a beautiful home, meeting with new clients, or perfecting marketing tactics, I was excited for each new adventure.”
