Meet Heather Mize

Rooted in the Gulf Coast. Passionate About Real Estate. Inspired by the Life I Love.

With 31 years of experience in real estate and more than 20 years calling Alabama's Gulf Coast home, I feel incredibly blessed to live and work in a place I love so much.

Real estate has always been more than a career to me. It's about relationships, helping people find where they belong, and sharing the beauty of the Gulf Coast with others.

Outside of real estate, my greatest joy is being a mom to my two children, Paul and Marigrace, and spending time with our beloved dog, Moomoo. My faith, family, and friendships are at the heart of everything I do.

You'll often find me enjoying the beach, boating, exploring other coastal destinations, shopping, spending time with friends, or cooking a favorite meal for the people I love. Church and my faith are an important part of my life, and I'm grateful for the wonderful community I've found here in Gulf Shores.

I believe a beautiful life is built around the people we love, the memories we make, and the places we call home.

It's that same philosophy I bring to real estate, helping others discover not just a property, but a place where their own stories can unfold.
