How My Approach To Buying A Home Is Different
Some of the best opportunities in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach never hit the MLS.
I use my local relationships, past-client network, direct outreach, and industry connections to uncover off-market opportunities you may not find anywhere else.
This exclusive service is available to buyers who complete my Buyer Profile and choose to work with me under a buyer agency agreement. Your profile helps me know exactly what you’re looking for-so I can start opening doors before they ever hit the market.

A Few Things To Keep In Mind
Finding the home is only part of my job. Negotiating the right deal is where experience really matters. I negotiate the terms that can make a big difference to your
bottom line—including price, closing costs, repairs, contingencies, concessions, commission, inclusions, and closing dates.
Great representation has value and poor representation can cost you far more than a commission. When you hire me, you get an experienced, full-time agent who knows this market and knows how to negotiate for you.
Meet Kristie
I’m Kristie Wheeles, Broker/Owner of Wheeles Realty and a Gulf Shores native. I’ve been licensed since 2009 and have helped hundreds of buyers and sellers throughout the Alabama Gulf Coast.
My background goes beyond traditional real estate. I also have experience in condo association management and vacation rentals, giving me a unique perspective when helping buyers evaluate condos, investment properties, rental potential, HOA considerations, and the ins and outs of owning property along the coast.
I specialize in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach and the surrounding Baldwin County market, with experience in waterfront homes, condos, investment properties, relocation, luxury real estate, and first-time buyers.
But at the end of the day, my job is pretty simple: help you find the right property, protect your interests, negotiate a great deal, and make the process as easy as possible.
