Eddie and Ashley are loud, opinionated, high-energy personalities who rarely see things the same way. Eddie is a former MMA fighter with a competitive streak that shows up in every decision he makes. Ashley is a former rodeo barrel racer who still owns horses and holds tightly to that part of her life...even as they prepare for a major move to the coast!
Being by the water has always been a dream, just one they thought would come later. After their oldest daughter graduated, they decided they were done waiting. Now they’re making the move from Georgia to Gulf Shores, drawn by a strong school district for their son and the chance to finally live the beach lifestyle they’ve always talked about.
What they want looks very different depending on who you ask. After years in a 7,000-square-foot home, Eddie is ready to downsize dramatically . He jokes he’d be happy with a tent if it’s on the sand. Ashley wants the opposite. She wants “wide open spaces,” character, and something with real presence. No cookie cutter homes, or “glorified apartment” vibes. She’s dreaming of something with charm and personality .
The biggest debate is Ashley’s horses. She insists that the home they choose must have enough space for them, allowing her and her daughter to live an equestrian coastal lifestyle. Eddie, on the other hand, believes that having extensive land for horses defeats the purpose of a beachside home. Plus, where will they find a home near the water with enough space for horses at an affordable price? It’s no easy task, and neither Eddie nor Ashley is willing to back down until they find the perfect home.
The Agent - Maggie Spence - Gulf Shores, AL
Despite being a newer agent Maggie has already closed over $2 million in sales, a clear reflection of the drive and urgency she brings to everything she does. A single mom to three boys, she rebuilt her life and career after losing her husband three years ago, channeling resilience, discipline, and a relentless work ethic into real estate.
As a competitive bodybuilder, Maggie approaches the Gulf Coast market like a competitor, focused, strategic, and always playing to win. She’s not scared to show up to muscle beach, she’s earned it. But her real advantage isn’t just effort, it’s access. She knows people everywhere, contractors, homeowners, other agents, and most importantly, she hears about opportunities long before they ever hit the market. Deals often come to her through conversations, not listing alerts. Her process is fast, direct, and highly intuitive. She doesn’t wait for perfect conditions, she creates momentum, pushing deals forward, solving problems quickly, and making sure nothing lingers too long to lose. Working with Maggie means having someone fully invested in the outcome, deeply connected in the local network, and relentless about execution, making sure every detail is handled and no opportunity slips through the cracks!
