Homewood welcomes: Charlie, Anna and GregWeaver (and Timber)
Q: Why Homewood?
A: We’re Birmingham natives but always wanted to be closer to restaurants, parks, and entertainment venues in downtown Birmingham. When our son started at The Altamont School, it became a logistical necessity. We looked into many neighborhoods, but we were drawn to the walkability of Homewood. Plus, we already had lots of friends here!
Q: What has it been like?
A: We enjoy walking to restaurants and taking our dog, Timber, with us if there is outdoor seating. Our neighbors are all very friendly and we love the sense of community.
Q: What is your favorite feature?
A: Our brand new home was built by Willow Homes, and the quality of the materials and finishes is top-notch. We absolutely love the way the exterior turned out. We chose to do all hardwood floors with no carpeting, and they turned out so warm. Cleaning them is efficient and easy. Our family are avid readers, and we love our custom bookshelf, too!
Q: Were you happy with the buying and selling services from Art House?
A: Art House did a great job marketing and selling our previous home. The photographs and videos were outstanding, and really did a great job highlighting it features. Also, our realtor, Roxanne Hale, made everything from showing to our previous house to choosing an offer as simple as possible. Both closings were very organized and went smoothly as a result.

Q: How did you find Savannah Johnson and Art House?
A: I found Savannah on Instagram@savannahsellsbham. I wanted a realtor to show us areas of Birmingham, not just listings. When we first spoke, I was clear that we weren’t looking to buy a house yet. I assumed we would feel pressure from her to put an offer quickly due to the market. After meeting Savannah, it was obvious she wasn’t going to pressure us at all. Savannah was completely onboard to show us all around Birmingham and helping us find our Trussville home! Choosing Savannah was a no brainer! Art House was a bonus.
Q: Why did you choose your home?
A: You ever get that feeling that something is meant to be? That's the feeling we got when we walked into our home. It had the right space and layout we were looking for and just felt like home.
Q: What is your favorite feature of your home?
A: The curb appeal with our arch out front. I picture every first day of school and prom photos taken under that arch. I also love the grand, gold light fixture in our foyer.
Q: Did any speedbumps come up along the way?
A: We went into buying this home, contingent on the sale of our home in Pennsylvania. There was a potential delay on the sale that popped up 3 days before closing on our Trussville home. In the end it all worked out! The support from Savannah and the broker helped us close on time.
