Meet Doug Jacobs

Thank you for taking the time to meet me! In a similar manner, I hope to make your acquaintance in the near future. I am a true Alabama native. I was born in Birmingham, educated at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa and moved to Decatur after graduation. In 1998, my wife, Perri, and I moved to Gulf Shores Alabama. I have lived in North Alabama, Central Alabama and now South Alabama. My plans are to retire in this beautiful area. We have 3 children, all of whom are grown and 1 grandson.

I received my real estate license in 1985. I have been a full-time Realtor since 1988. I love purchasing, listing and selling real estate. I have achieved many educational and personal awards. They include the GRI (Graduate of the Real Estate Institute), the ABR (Accredited Buyer’s Representative) and the prestigious CRS (Certified Residential Specialist). I was president of the Morgan County Association of Realtors which was important to me because I was elected by my peers. I worked with RE/MAX of Decatur from 1990 to 1998 and moved to Gulf Shores where I worked with RE/MAX of Gulf Shores from 1998 to 2004. I was the 4th Realtor at RE/MAX of Gulf Shores to be inducted into the highly acclaimed RE/MAX Hall of Fame. In 2004, I opened my own real estate company. I chose the name Doug Jacobs Real Estate because I wanted clients to know who I was and I wanted my business to be personal. At this time, I have one other licensee and one unlicensed assistant. I do not want to be the biggest real estate company on the coast, just the best!

At this time, I sell lots, land, homes and condominiums. I specialize in happy people. If customers and clients aren’t happy, I don’t get referrals from their family and friends. If that doesn’t happen, I’m not happy. I make every effort to ensure that every transaction is a happy transaction.

Although selling real estate in this beautiful coastal region is my full-time job, it feels more like a relaxing hobby because I am fortunate in living where thousands vacation and relax. Find out for yourself why when our local utility providers send out bills to residents in 44 states and 5 foreign countries.

I look forward to meeting you and your family and helping you find your place in paradise!

Your future Realtor,

Doug Jacobs
