Meet Mary Ann Griffith, Qualifying Broker at Leading Edge - NW Alabama. In February 2025, Mary Ann celebrated her 30th year in the real estate industry, holding her Broker’s license for 12 of those years. She is well-versed in the industry after being entrenched in every aspect from selling to homebuilding to owning her own brokerage. Her lengthy career has been broad, and successful. Mary Ann has:


  • Been a licensed Alabama homebuilder since the 1990s, building more than 450 custom and speculative homes in North Alabama.
  • Owned and operated Plain & Fancy - a custom cabinetry franchise - to aid in the quality and design of custom kitchens.
  • Purchased the oldest real estate brokerage in Florence, Alabama in her second year in the business, where she more than doubled the number of Agents, opened a second office in Muscle Shoals, franchised with Prudential, and became a top producing office with them, and finally sold (for profit) to Century 21 to concentrate more on building and expanding into Madison.

Mary Ann has a lot to be proud of. She has placed third in the Huntsville/Madison County Fall Parade of Homes. She was named ‘Rookie of the Year’ by the Shoals Area Association of REALTORS® and placed 4th in production in her first year in real estate. But, most of all, Mary Ann is proud to say that many of her happy clients have become life-long friends. The past 30 years have been a joy for her - working with the children of past clients to find their first home, assisting repeat clients as they’ve gone through life changes, helping ready-to-downsize clients as they transitioned to the next stages of life, and working with her favorite clients like the older gentleman who never thought he would own a home. 


Mary Ann is excited for yet another challenge in her career and is excited to step into the role of Qualifying Broker for Leading Edge’s newest office, representing The Shoals. She grew up in The Shoals and it’s the place where her children grew up. She loves that our office is housed in a historic building located in Downtown Florence, just five minutes from the banks of the beautiful Tennessee River.

There are so many things Mary Ann loves about NW Alabama and The Shoals. The rich music history of the area is one of her favorite things, and she smiled as she talked about her own experiences, mentioning how it was “an amazing place to be in the 70s”. Hearing the enthusiasm in Mary Ann’s voice as she talked about The Shoals, her career, and her new adventure with Leading Edge was, and is, music to our ears! We’re proud of Mary Ann and all that she has accomplished, and we look forward to watching her grow Leading Edge - NW Alabama into one of the top-producing brokerages in the local market! We have no doubt she will be an amazing Qualifying Broker and outstanding mentor to a new generation of REALTORS®!
