Howard Hanna Real Estate Services announced its expansion into Alabama through a partnership, operating under two established brands, ARC Realty and Capstone Realty.
According to a release, the partnership brings 875 agents across 12 offices in Birmingham, Montgomery and Huntsville.
The partnership brings the three groups together to operate as the state’s largest brokerage, who collectively achieved $2.8 billion in sales volume across approximately 6,000 transactions in 2025, according to the companies.
ARC Realty and Capstone Realty will preserve their local leadership while gaining access to Howard Hanna’s national network, resources and infrastructure spanning 19 states.
“ARC and Capstone have built exceptional businesses with strong leadership, deep local relationships and a track record of success. That’s exactly the kind of foundation we look for as Howard Hanna continues to grow,” Howard Hanna CEO, Howard “Hoby” Hanna IV, said. “We’re proud to welcome their agents and teams to the Howard Hanna family. Together, we can build on what they’ve accomplished, bringing the strength of our national network and resources to create even greater opportunities for their agents, clients and communities.”
The release notes that agents will gain access to Howard Hanna’s proprietary technology, digital tools, marketing capabilities and national referral network, alongside integrated mortgage, title and insurance services.
The partnership also brings Howard Hanna’s signature Money Back Guarantee and consumer-focused programs to Alabama, combining the resources of a national brokerage with ARC Realty and Capstone Realty’ s local expertise.
As stated by the release, ARC Realty has built its presence across Central Alabama since 2012, while Capstone Realty has established itself in North Alabama. The two firms joined forces in 2022, creating one of Alabama’s largest independent brokerage networks and establishing its position in the Greater Alabama MLS (GALMLS).
“ARC has always been, at its heart, ‘A Relationship Company,’” Beau Bevis, CEO of ARC Realty, stated. “This partnership is about elevating what we’ve built. Keeping our local leadership and regional relationships intact was essential, and Howard Hanna gives us the tools, technology and national scale to empower our agents like never before. It’s a transformative long-term opportunity for our team, clients and communities.”
“Capstone was built on entrepreneurial momentum and a fierce dedication to North Alabama,” Capstone Realty CEO Darrin Hasley added. “This partnership allows us to put greater resources directly into our agents’ hands while preserving the local commitment and agile mindset that got us here. I have absolute confidence in this next chapter alongside Howard Hanna, and I look forward to seeing our agents expand their businesses in new ways.”
