Baldwin County Coastal Homes: Your Gateway to Alabama’s Gulf Coast Elegance

Welcome to First Equity Home Loan Inc., where we've been turning dreams into reality since 1987. Whether you're envisioning a serene beachfront home in Gulf Shores, a luxurious condo in Orange Beach, or looking to invest in multi-family or commercial resort properties throughout Baldwin County, we're here to help you secure the best mortgage rates and terms.

where sugar-white sands, turquoise waves, and coastal charm define the good life. From Gulf Shores’ vibrant beachfront condos to Orange Beach’s luxurious waterfront estates, this stretch of Alabama’s Gulf Coast offers a housing market as diverse as its sunsets. Whether you’re dreaming of a cozy beach bungalow, a high-rise condo with panoramic views, or a sprawling coastal mansion, we’re here to unlock your perfect property—sophisticated financing included.

Baldwin County isn’t just about coastal allure; it’s a hidden gem for smart buyers. Did you know many areas here qualify for USDA loans? That’s right—zero-down financing isn’t just for rural farmland; it’s a coastal reality for places like Elberta or Summerdale, blending affordability with beachside living. Veterans and active-duty military can tap into VA loans, offering no down payment and competitive rates—ideal for a Gulf Shores retreat or a Fairhope family home. And for those chasing luxury, our expertise in high-balance conventional and jumbo loans (think $766,550 and up) ensures your million-dollar Orange Beach vision comes to life with terms that match your ambition.

We don’t stop there. FHA loans bring flexibility for first-timers eyeing a Foley condo, while conventional options suit the discerning buyer craving a custom Daphne estate. Our team thrives on high-balance loans—tailoring sophisticated solutions for Baldwin County’s priciest coastal gems. Why settle for ordinary financing? With us, you’re not just buying a home; you’re investing in a lifestyle—backed by Alabama’s sharpest mortgage minds. 

Home values are climbing—Gulf Shores up 15% in recent years, Fairhope blending coastal charm with top schools. USDA and VA options stretch your dollar; high-balance loans elevate your dreams.

More on Gulf Shores City Schools, led by Rod's 1st cousin Superintendent Dr. Matt Akin, isn’t just educating—it’s elevating. Fresh off a 5A football state championship in 2023 (and a legacy of winning), the district’s Dolphins are champs on the field and pioneers in the classroom. Dr. Akin, who transformed Piedmont City Schools with cutting-edge tech—earning national nods like Apple Distinguished School status—brings that same vision here. Named “Best of Baldwin” School Administrator in 2025, he’s made Gulf Shores a magnet for families. Every student gets a MacBook or iPad, powering projects like electric car builds and music production in the Hangout Music Lab. It’s no wonder Gulf Shores was dubbed an Apple Distinguished School District in January 2025—only one of two in Alabama. Families relocating for coastal living stay for schools that prep kids for tomorrow, boosting home demand from Foley to Spanish Fort.
