What Does Being a Part of The Jim Allen Group Mean to You?

As the original member, I have seen the growth from a few individual agents, into the true team concept. From listing individual homes to developing raw land into neighborhoods. Jim’s foresight has always kept us ahead of the curve, especially where new homes are involved. Most of the major firms had separate New Homes divisions. We began small with a 1 road neighborhood called Hartland. That was when Jim Allen said, “We can list one at a time, or we can list a bunch all at once”.
After 12 years in the Marines, and now 32 years in real estate, I’ve seen it all and enjoyed the ride! Young at heart, I look forward to the next 30 years. Retirement is for others, I want my clients happy and successful. From 1st time home buyers, to multi million dollar homes, Lets have fun while we make the American Dream happen!
