I’ve worked with quite a few companies — large, medium and small start ups. Tech companies, life science, eLearning, K12 communications, and government contracting. I’ve found the Jim Allen Group to be a great place to work. A talented team of real estate agents and support staff that continuously set sales records and achieve national awards and recognition. We are the #1 sales team in the Nation for Coldwell Banker year after year and the #1 RE team in the Triangle since 1996 (Triangle Business Journal).As the team continues to grow, Jim hires experienced personnel — trusting them to effectively run and “own” their departments — sales, closings, listings, appraisals, and marketing. Jim has put the staff in place to support the sale team — allowing them to focus on client support and sales. He has no plans to take his foot off the gas and start slowing down…One of the most important things The Jim Allen Group does is give back to the community. We take a portion of every home sale and contribute to multiple local charities throughout the Triangle each year. We also are big supporters and sponsors of local Chambers and Home Builder Associations in quite a few counties — Wake, Durham, Franklin, Johnston, Chatham, Granville, Harnett. 2024 is off to a great start and we’re on track for another record-breaking sales # — which means more funds in the hopper to make a greater impact in the community. #JAGRocks
