Member Spotlight
Welcome to the Chamber's Member Spotlight series, where we take a moment to feature one of our business members. For May and June, we’re highlighting The Wright Bunch, LLC brokered by MeritHouse Realty. We spoke with founder Philip Wright to learn more about their journey and mission in the Decatur-Morgan County area.
Describe your business, including its history, products or services?
"I founded The Wright Bunch in 2022 to serve North Alabama with a team committed to helping individuals and families buy, sell and invest in real estate with confidence and ease. As a seasoned REALTOR® and industry leader, I’ve built a dynamic team of professionals who share a client-first mindset, market expertise and strong community values."
"Our services include residential and commercial real estate, investment property consulting, first-time homebuyer support and full-service listing strategies. We take pride in our personalized service, strategic marketing and commitment to excellence. Whether it's navigating a first home purchase, coordinating a seamless sale or guiding investors through the flipping process, The Wright Bunch is here every step of the way."
"Backed by MeritHouse Realty, our team brings years of combined experience and a passion for turning real estate goals into reality—because with The Wright Bunch, you're not just a client, you're family."
What makes your business stand out?
"At The Wright Bunch, we lead with heart and hustle. We combine industry expertise with a personal, client-first approach—treating every transaction like it’s our own. Our team is built on relationships, not just real estate, which means we stay connected long after the closing table. With deep local knowledge, unmatched responsiveness and a commitment to giving back to our community, we go beyond buying and selling—we help people move forward with confidence."
How has your business evolved or grown over the last year?
"Over the past year, The Wright Bunch has experienced tremendous growth—both in size and impact. We've expanded our team with passionate, knowledgeable agents who share our mission of putting people first. Our volume has increased, our brand recognition has grown and we’ve continued to pour into our community through charitable giving and local involvement. From launching new marketing strategies to streamlining our client experience, every step of our growth has been rooted in our commitment to excellence and service."
What is one of the advantages your business is seeing right now?
"One of the key advantages The Wright Bunch is experiencing right now is our ability to guide clients through the evolving Decatur, Alabama housing market with confidence. Our dedicated agents are committed to helping families build generational wealth through real estate."
"As of March 2025, the average home value in Decatur stands at $213,743, a 2.2% increase over the past year. Homes are going pending in about 34 days—showing steady demand in our area. We work collaboratively to give each client personalized guidance, helping them make informed decisions. At The Wright Bunch, we’re not just about transactions—we’re about transformations."
What keeps you motivated and inspired in your role?
"What keeps me motivated every day is seeing the real impact we’re making—both for our clients and for our agents. Watching families achieve their dreams of homeownership and start building generational wealth fuels my passion. Just as rewarding is seeing our agents grow, succeed and build businesses they’re proud of. That inspires me to keep pushing forward. I take pride in leading by example, creating a culture where we celebrate wins, learn from challenges and always put people first. At The Wright Bunch, it’s not just about selling homes—it’s about changing lives, and that’s what drives me every single day."
