Debi Mestre, Owner and Broker:

After many years of being an individual top producing agent, it was clear to me that it was time to expand. The challenge was finding competent people that had my same mission, enthusiasm, loyalty, customer service, and drive for satisfaction that I needed to make sure our clients are happy and receive the same quality of expertise and care as if they had worked with me.

After graduating from Birmingham Southern with a degree in Biology, Susan Dressler, my daughter, received her degree as a Nurse Practitioner from Vanderbilt University. She was struggling trying to balance administrative duties and hours with daycare hours. I encouraged her to join me and for nearly two years we worked together on all our transactions. She is now a stellar agent who allows me to put my head on the pillow at night knowing that she has attended to her clients’ needs in a timely, competent, and service oriented manner. She brings an element to the table that I am a tad removed from – that is, because she has school age children, she stays current with things for children to do.

As Susan’s star rose, I started my own Real Estate company, MD Realty. M for Mestre, D for Dressler. We chose to do a play on MD because we serve so many in the medical community – all by word of mouth! Together our practice grew, and yet again, I knew I needed to bring someone on board. But again, I had the same concerns for client service, expertise and satisfaction. I had been trying for years to bring my son, Adam, into the business, but having gotten his law degree from the University of Alabama, he wanted to practice law, or so he thought. After 5 years he decided he had had all the fun he could stand and joined us. Again, he went through the same training process as had Susan. He has evolved into one of the brightest and most adept young Real Estate Agents in Metro Birmingham. In addition to assisting me, he has developed his own ardent client base. He is our resident expert on all things Birmingham – attractions, food, bars, breweries, what’s happening, etc. His wit makes a sometimes stressful time, a fun time! 

Together, we make up the Debi Mestre Team. We have successfully mastered maintaining a personal level of service, while we continue to grow. While much of the Team’s business is from prior clients, we continue to attract new business, not because we advertise or buy leads, but because our clients spread the word about us. Our business is 100% referral based. Each year we welcome many medical residents, fellows and faculty to our real estate family as they join UAB, but our client base is diverse in that we service all price points and walks of life. Our clients become lifelong friends. Give us a call. We will arm you with the tools you need to have the best real estate transaction.
