“My sister and i were in the market for an investment property in West Volusia. I have purchased a number of properties from numerous agents. They all were nice and competent, but Allen was very accommodating with his time and efforts. We called him too many times and changed our ‘wish list’ half a dozen times. He never became impatient. If he didn’t have an answer, he would reach out to necessary parties to get it immediately. I’ve never written a review for an agent, but for Allen, I made an exception. He is fun, personable, professional, and informed.”
