About Melvin Upchurch

Hi, I’m Melvin Upchurch!! I am a U.S. Air Force Veteran that used my GI Bill benefits to pay my way through college ( Millsaps – Jackson, MS). I began my career as a CPA with KPMG & worked my way up the corporate ladder to become the CFO of a local bank and the President of a regional mortgage company. I left the corporate world to pursue my passion for real estate in 1997. My real estate career has included being a Realtor since 1998, acquiring a home builder’s license, building custom homes, flipping hundreds of homes, creating a large residential real estate rental portfolio which I managed for over 20 years, and assisting hundreds of buyers and sellers in buying and selling homes. I am originally from Mississippi, but I have lived in the Birmingham area for over 30 years. I have 2 adult children, Ali & Zac, and a grandson, Fitz. My wife of 23 years, Jill, is a Pittsburgh native that played tennis for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. She came to Birmingham to be the tennis pro at The Country Club of Birmingham. We have a 15-year-old son, Bram, who is a competitive golfer. Our lives revolve around our Church and Bram’s golf tournaments. Family time is our favorite time. I am a health enthusiast and a big believer in personal growth & having a growth mindset. I have over 250 verified 5-star Zillow reviews from very appreciative clients. In this tough market, I have been very successful in helping my buyers win the bidding wars! I also co-own and I am the Broker for LIST Birmingham a full service/flat fee brokerage. My average seller saved over $10,000 in commission in 2023. If you are interested in being professionally represented in the purchase of a home or, it is time to sell your home, I’d greatly appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. All the best, Melvin Upchurch

Testimonials

Melvin is a rockstar among realtors! The entire experience, from initial call to closing, was top notch. Melvin made sure I was updated regularly about next steps as well as current situations. He was able to provide several referral sources that I used (contractor, insurance agent, etc) - all of whom were also fantastic. Melvin went out of his way to make this a seamless process and I cannot recommend him enough!

We interviewed three different realtors before deciding to work with Melvin. Great choice! Melvin's understanding of the market helped us price our home correctly. He provided the guidance needed to make the home ready - including a list of affordable contractors for repairs. The house listed on a Tuesday and by Thursday morning we had two contacts. We sold the home 20k over asking price and saved over 10k by working with List Birmingham. The communication was amazing. In person and face to face when needed. Simple clear email instructions. Easy document signing. Never overbearing or demanding. Never absent or hard to reach.

I have used Melvin to help me and my family many times, both to buy and sale homes. He was so patient especially with the last one which was an investment home that I thought was a good one, but wasn't. There were many challenges with this empty house. The break-ins, homeless sleeping on the pouch and trash, neighbors calling him to complain. No other agent would have spent so much time and effort on this three year listing. He was so patient with me. Communicating and advising me along the way with this challenge. Other agents would have given up but not Melvin. I love that his business model is a flat fee which has saved me, my family and so many of my friends thousands of dollars. We closed on my property yesterday and I'm sure he was glad to cross this on off his list but you'd never k...

Melvin was absolutely great to work with. We trusted his expertise and got 2 offers in 2 days. The process was so smooth and we loved Melvin’s flat fee approach. Would use him again - no question!

Working with Melvin was an incredible experience. His knowledge of the market was second-to-none and made my wife and I confident moving forward with a complicated purchase of our home. Working with Melvin was incredibly valuable and I would absolutely recommend anybody I know to work with Melvin when buying or selling their house! I can't say enough great things about the process.

We’ve used Melvin to both sell and buy homes, and honestly, he’s been amazing. He was so patient with us and really helped us figure out what was best for us. He knows the local market inside and out, which helped us get great results on both sides. Anytime we had questions about staging, repairs, or what to do next, he always had great resources and advice. We truly couldn’t have done it all so smoothly without him and would recommend him to anyone.

I cannot say enough good things about Melvin. He listed and sold my 77 year old mother’s home. I have been in real estate professionally for 23 years, and this was hands down one of the most difficult transactions I have ever been a part of. Throughout the entire process, Melvin remained incredibly patient, kind, and consistently professional. No matter what challenge came up, and there were many, he handled it calmly and confidently, always knowing the right resource or professional to bring in at the right time. His experience, problem-solving skills, and steady leadership made a very complex closing get to the finish line. I have worked with many agents over the years, and Melvin truly stands out. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and ex...
