About Kristal in Alabama
A Mortgage Broker Who Understands Alabama's Market
Alabama's real estate market is defined by affordability and diversity. Huntsville has emerged as one of the fastest-growing cities in the Southeast, driven by aerospace, defense, and technology industries anchored by Redstone Arsenal. Birmingham offers a mix of urban neighborhoods and suburban communities. And across much of rural Alabama, USDA financing makes homeownership possible for buyers who can't come up with a large down payment.

She's helped veterans near Redstone Arsenal and Maxwell AFB use their VA benefit to buy with $0 down, helped first-time buyers use FHA and USDA programs, and helped self-employed borrowers qualify using bank statement programs.
