Fairhope, You Did This With Us: Ashurst Niemeyer Ranks #1 in August Closed Sales Volume

A big August. A small local brokerage. And one very good reason to say thank you.

Some numbers you glance at and move on.

Others make you stop for a minute.

This is one of those numbers.

Ashurst Niemeyer Real Estate ranked #1 for closed sales volume in Fairhope during August 2026.

In plain English, for homes and properties that closed in Fairhope during August, Ashurst Niemeyer finished at the top of the brokerage rankings based on closed sales volume.

And while we are incredibly proud of that number, we know exactly what is behind it.

People.

People selling homes filled with memories. People buying their first home. People moving across town, moving closer to grandchildren, downsizing, upsizing, relocating to Fairhope or finally making that dream of living on the Eastern Shore happen.

So, before we celebrate anything else, we want to say this:

Fairhope, thank you.

Fairhope gave us something pretty special to celebrate

From August 1 through August 31, Ashurst Niemeyer ranked #1 for closed sales volume in Fairhope according to the Baldwin MLS firm ranking report.

That feels especially meaningful to us because Fairhope is not simply a market we serve.

It is home.

Our agents live here, work here, raise families here, eat here, shop here and have probably gotten stuck in the same Fairhope Avenue traffic you have.

We have watched this community grow and change for decades.

Being trusted to help so many people navigate one of the biggest financial and personal decisions of their lives means far more to us than a number on a report.

But we will admit it.

Seeing #1 next to Ashurst Niemeyer felt pretty darn good.

And the good news reached beyond Fairhope

August was strong across the Eastern Shore, too.

When sales closed in Fairhope, Daphne and Spanish Fort are combined, Ashurst Niemeyer ranked #3 in closed sales volume for August.

Looking at January through August 2026, our brokerage ranked:

#3 in Fairhope closed sales volume

#5 in combined Fairhope, Daphne and Spanish Fort closed sales volume

A small brokerage doing some pretty big things

This may be our favorite part of the story.

From January through August 2026, Ashurst Niemeyer ranked #3 among all brokerages for Fairhope closed sales volume.

But when we look specifically at smaller, boutique brokerages, Ashurst Niemeyer ranks #1.

What exactly is a boutique brokerage?

Boutique real estate firms are typically smaller (less than 30 agents), locally focused companies built around personal service, strong community relationships and deep knowledge of the market they serve.

Think less big box real estate and more local specialists who know the community, know their clients and know how to work together.

That describes Ashurst Niemeyer pretty well.

Our team includes just 20 real estate advisors, which allows us to remain intentionally personal while still competing with some significantly larger real estate companies.

The two firms ahead of us in the overall rankings have considerably larger agent rosters.

So yes, we are going to celebrate this one. 👏

Because a locally owned brokerage with just 20 advisors competing at the very top of the Fairhope market says something important:

You do not have to be the biggest brokerage to make a very big impact.

We think that deserves some applause.

And perhaps a celebratory trip for coffee. This is Fairhope, after all.

The boutique ranking is an analysis using a 2026 Baldwin County brokerage headcount comparison and a benchmark of fewer than 30 agents. Boutique is not an official MLS designation.

Judy Niemeyer had an August worth celebrating, too

The brokerage was not the only one making a strong showing.

Judy Niemeyer ranked #3 for closed sales volume on the Eastern Shore - Fairhope, Daphne and Spanish Fort - during August 2026.

For someone who has spent decades helping people buy and sell real estate in this community, it is another impressive chapter in a very long local story.

Congratulations, Judy. ❤️

And thank you to every buyer and seller who trusted her to be part of your move.

Five Ashurst Niemeyer agents rank among Fairhope’s Top 20

The year to date numbers give us even more reasons to celebrate.

For properties closed in Fairhope from January 1 through August 31, 2026, five Ashurst Niemeyer agents appear within the first 20 positions in the MLS agent rankings for closed sales volume:

#11 Judy Niemeyer

#14 Preston Niemeyer

#15 Staci G Niemeyer

#17 Morgan Ashurst

#18 Lucy Lety

Five agents from one 20 agent brokerage. That is something our entire team can be proud of.

More importantly, every one of those sales represents someone who trusted an Ashurst Niemeyer agent to guide them through a major decision.

That is the part of the ranking we never want to lose sight of.

A few more names deserve some applause

We also looked inside our own brokerage to see who led Ashurst Niemeyer in closed sales volume across Baldwin and Mobile counties.

For August 2026, our top three agents were:

1. Judy Niemeyer
2. Helen Milteer
3. Lucy Lety

For January through August 2026, our top three agents were:

Congratulations to Judy, Helen, Lucy and Preston.

And congratulations to the entire Ashurst Niemeyer team.

Real estate is rarely a solo sport. Behind every closing are agents covering appointments, sharing knowledge, solving problems, answering calls, helping with inspections, finding resources and occasionally talking someone off the proverbial real estate ledge.

We really do win together.
