Talk about above and beyond!
I know we must be at the top of the list of Candace’s most difficult sales. Without going into detail, I’ll just say that Candace was amazing throughout the process. Her expertise in the vacation rental market and real estate in general were instrumental in the sale of our condo in what we think is record time.
For a couple that knows little or nothing about real estate like my wife and I, Candace was the perfect fit. I’ve never felt more comfortable taking advice from someone when it comes to a major financial decision.
The Pfab’s are the nicest people you’ll ever meet. They will definitely be our Realtor Team for our upcoming retirement home purchase!

We just closed on our first investment property in Orange Beach/Gulf Shores area. I worked with Chuck and Candace and it was the best experience. I have never worked with another agent like Candace. The communication was unbelievable. She made sure I knew exactly what was going on and who I needed to call throughout the process. When I needed recommendations for an inspector or an insurance agent or a painter, she would have multiple options in no time. I could go on and on. If you're like me and like to work with the best give Candace a call. Thanks Chuck and Candace, can't wait to do it again.

Candace has been a pleasure to work with as an agent. She listened to what we wanted and helped us find the right property through her knowledge of the area and experience as an agent. Her positivity and attitude was exceptional. Once our offer was accepted she was on top of everything throughout the process all the way through closing. When we had a question or doubt, she always had an answer and gained our trust through her honest and hard working demeanor. Although this was our first out of state purchase, Candace and her husband made the process easy. I highly recommend Candace and her husband Chuck to anyone looking for a home either as an investment or as a primary investment.

Chuck and Candace go out of their way to assist the buyer all along the buying process. We just closed on our condo in Gulf Shores in December 2019. We couldn't be happier with the service that Chuck and Candace provided. They are awesome at their craft and are honest and personable people. A real pleasure to work with.

I just closed on my first investment property in Gulf Shores AL. Chuck and Candace were amazing. Any questions I had were answered quick and even went and checked on the property for me after having some work done. I worked with two other realtors in the area and none were as helpful. I highly recommend using them. Very knowledgeable and helpful.

Candace is great. After only one call, it felt as if we had been friends forever. We purchased two (STR) properties, with one of them being off-market. She knows the area and her network of people in the business is invaluable. I am still surprised at how seamless our deal was while living 11 hours away and still not personally seeing the property. Within a week of closing, the property is already cash-flowing. We are already working on a third deal.

When I wanted to purchase a beachfront investment property, I reached out to multiple Realtors but wasn't taken seriously since I was an out of state buyer. I connected with Candace and Chuck through the BiggerPockets website and they were amazing. Candace identified a great investment property for me and helped me through the entire escrow process, including giving me referrals for contractors, a structural engineer, lender, management company, and insurance agent. She is a wealth of knowledge in her market and was always available to take my call when something came up. She also was very proactive with identifying challenges and working to resolve them in advance. I have done about $300M of deals in the Houston MSA and was very impressed with Candace Pfab. I recommend her highly.

Candace and Chuck are absolutely wonderful to work with! We just recently closed on our condo in Gulf Shores, and wow so glad that we were working with them. In the beginning they sat down with us to figure out exactly what our needs were, and where we wanted to be. Communication was absolutely great anytime we had a question or needed information day or night and weekends they were there for us. We couldn't ask for a better team to help us purchase our condo!

I gave Candace quite a run around. Offer came in second, new construction and backed out because of the finance company, backed out after she did a lot of work for me on an inspection and finally got a deal done on the 4th try. Candace is very knowledgeable, she went over and above for us, she was unflappable going through 4 deals to get one done. She clearly had our best interest at heart and was not afraid to let a deal go to find a better fit for us. I would recommend Candace 100 out of 100 times. I am hoping to find another deal and it will be done with Candace. We were out of town investing.

I highly recommend working with Candace. She exemplifies everything you want in a trusted partner. Candace is extremely responsive, knowledgeable about the market, and well-connected with industry partners. Every part of the buying journey was a smooth experience. My partner and I are first time STR buyers and Candace answered all our newbie questions as well as shared information we did not think to ask about. After the sale, Candace shared numerous recommendations (HVAC, plumbing, cleaners, etc). We will not work with anyone else in Gulf Shores. Thank you for everything, Candace!

"When the pressure is on, you don't rise to the occasion... you fall to your highest level of preparation..." That is how I can best explain what it was like working with Candance & Chuck! Candace helped us purchase our second STR property/house hack duplex. We worked an amazing rate despite the high national rates and resolved every issue that came up. It was a nail biter to the end, but with Candace you can rest assured you're in good & capable hands! We consider the Pfabulous team family now. As a Veteran & current team member of the South Alabama mega site expansion I highly recommend Candace. Candace is as generous as she is sharp, thank you Candace & Chuck! (I look forward to learning from you both!)

My STR journey began after visiting Gulf Shores, AL, for Memorial Day and remembering the childhood fun I had there on weekend vacations many years ago. I quickly identified the opportunity for short-term rentals in the area and sought local expertise on BiggerPockets. I read some great reviews about Candace, then made a short email introduction, and a Pfabolous relationship was born.
We eventually settled on a single-family and new-construction neighborhood in Orange Beach and began making offers. Unfortunately, during the competitive market of last summer, our initial offers were rejected, so we simply waited for the tide to shift. Finally, after a long and grueling summer, we made an aggressive offer on a house in a prime location and the seller accepted.
Candace and Chuck coached me through the entire buying process in south Alabama, where we landed a property within walking distance of the white sands of the Gulf of Mexico. My goal is to use the property as both respites from the hustle of the big city and tech work while generating STR income.
Candace has been an absolute gem with communication and moving everything between the seller, agents, builder, mortgage broker, and vendors necessary to have a great short-term rental business for an out-of-state buyer. But, most importantly, post-close, Candace and Chuck still exhibit genuine and outstanding service! We have indeed developed a lasting relationship that I appreciate and am grateful to have. This has been a genuinely Pfabulous experience!

Working with Candace was an amazing experience. This was our first short term rental purchase and she has an excellent knowledge base of the local market. She made us comfortable from the start and was "boots on the ground" for us as we were an out of the area purchaser. She communicates quickly and effectively through a mode of different communications (text, call, email) and is always fast to respond. Her experience with STRs was incredibly beneficial as she brought several things to mind that we would not have thought of if not for her experience. She has great relationships with local vendors and lenders and stayed on top of the transaction the entire process. Great overall experience and looking forward to working with her again in the future!
