Vanita McLain began her real estate career in 2002 and shortly after joined forces with a partner to form the first real estate TEAM in Dothan in 2004 and then opened the doors of an independent real estate company in 2011—Dothan Real Estate Team.

In 2021, the company merged with KELLER WILLAIMS, SEAL, which has been by far the best move yet!

Vanita earned her degree in accounting and business at Troy University, which has greatly enhanced her real estate skills. Vanita is originally a “Georgia Peach”. She planted in Dothan in 1977 and raised 4 children and now has 12 grandchildren.  She is married to Luke McLain. And she is proud of the fact that she home taught her children for 10 plus years while working part-time doing taxes. She says being a mom allowed her to become skilled in negotiating and conflict resolution.

Her strengths are her creativity, networking, problem-solving, community leadership and a strong desire to help people.

Community service involvement for Vanita has included volunteer opportunities with Wiregrass Hope, Boys and Girls Club, Salvation Army and Wiregrass Habitat for Humanity. She has participated as a board member of Dothan Ballroom Dance Club, Boys and Girls Club, Wiregrass Museum of Art and Houston County Library. She is a long-time member/President of the Dothan Tuesday Rotary Club. She and her husband are also members of Harvest Church.

She loves living in the southeast corner of Alabama, fondly called the Wiregrass Area or the Tri-states area, where the tea is sweet, the folks are friendly and you’re only 90 miles from the white sandy shores of the gulf.

Her focus is serving her community, her clients and spending time with her husband and grandchildren!
