During the course of his career, Claude Tindle has established a reputation as a respected leader and knowledgeable authority in the Real Estate Community. The Founding President of the Birmingham Commercial Council of Realtors, he was the youngest member ever appointed to serve in the State of Alabama’s Counselors of Real Estate (CRE).

He’s also a Board Member of the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties’ (NAIOP) Alabama Chapter and serves on the Professional Standards Committee for the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR).

Tindle founded Longleaf Realty in 2006 after 14 years with Graham and Company—where he was ultimately promoted to Vice President—and with whom he still shares a strong professional friendship. His first-hand real estate experience encompasses a comprehensive range of successful commercial projects throughout the Deep South, and as far away as Texas and New York.

Claude and his wife Tracy have three children—Mary Cameron, Crawford and Chaney.
