Reeves helping the Morra's relocate from Georgia to Daphne on the "House Hunters" program.
In 2005 the Morra family received notice relocating Joe and Brenda from Georgia to the Mobile, Alabama area. HGTV program "House Hunter" chronicles their house hunting experience with Barbara S. Reeves with RE/MAX By The Bay. They chose the bedroom community of Daphne just eleven miles from Mobile. 

One of the challenges that Barbara faced with their relocation was that this time frame fell between hurricanes Ivan and Katrina, with fewer than normal homes on the market. Homes would receive contracts on them within hours of being placed on the market. The second challenge was they needed a five bedroom home so everyone would have their own bedroom. The typical home on the market in Joe and Brenda’s price range had four bedrooms, some had bonus rooms or an office, which would suffice for a fifth bedroom. Barbara met the challenge finding the Morra’s a four bedroom with a bonus room for their eldest daughter Chelsea.

Now the Morra’s are being relocated again so their home is back on the market for sale. Check it out on Barbara’s web site. The program is being aired on January 17th at 9:30 p.m. central standard time, January 18th at 1:30 a.m. central standard time and January 20th at 6:30 p.m. central standard time.Be sure to tune in!
