I am a Real Estate Agent with LAH Real Estate in Birmingham, AL; my name is Gwendolyn (Gwen) Reid. I have lived in Birmingham most of my life, except for 3 years where I lived in Huntsville working for IBM in ACCG. I returned to Birmingham & started working for BellSouth in the IT dept. A couple of years before my retirement, I started taking real estate classes; I really enjoyed the training and became a licensed agent. Working part-time in real estate while still working full-time in the corporate arena, I closed my first real estate transaction the day that I retired from my full-time job. I enjoy meeting people and getting to know them. My goal is to assist my clients/customers to fulfill their real estate needs/dreams to the best of my ability and provide quality service. I am married with two adult children.
