About Melvin

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 24 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 16-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 300 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 2024.

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

Can't say enough about the fantastic job Melvin did for us. He made selling our house a breeze. Very professional and courteous!

Melvin assisted my wife and I with the purchase and sale of our home in 2011. When we decided to look for another home for our family in 2023, utilizing Melvin as our broker was an easy decision. Melvin did a fantastic job both times he assisted. His customer service and responsiveness are unparalleled. He answered the phone or responded to text immediately every time my wife or I contacted him through the process (which was often). You also will not find a more knowledgeable and professional broker. I would highly recommend Melvin to anyone looking for a home.
