City in Wiregrass Region with a history of progress
Enterprise earned the nickname “The City of Progress” in the early 1900s when it survived a boll weevil infestation by switching from farming cotton to farming peanuts, becoming the country’s largest peanut producer at the time. And while Enterprise is still a leading peanut manufacturer, the city is now a major hub of military aviation and home to a growing downtown with local shops, restaurants and a state-of-the-art recreation and aquatics center.

Hi I'm JoAnn and I'm all about my community, and real estate with my heart and soul. As a retail manager traveling wherever duty called for 28 years, I have lived all over Alabama. But my hometown is right here in Andalusia. Every visit home, I vowed to one day move back and pursue my dreams in real estate. After my two children graduated from college I was all too glad to leave the corporate world behind and finally settle back to my roots. Today, I have made real estate my passion and introducing families to their new home is my main purpose. Real estate is a relationship-based business, and I strive to create relationships built on trust and confidence. Buying and selling can be over whelming and stressful. To ensure a successful experience, I will utilize my talent for guiding people through unfamiliar and emotional processes, as well as my skill and experience in understanding and explaining contracts, negotiations, working with attorneys, and remaining calm under pressure. Homes.com is an excellent start and I encourage you to give me a call or email me.
