John Allen

I decided to put my marketing degree from Georgia Southern to work when I became a broker at Allen Real Estate Services Inc., our 27 year old family business. Working as a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist, my areas of expertise include luxury and waterfront homes, condominiums, and golf course communities. As a 32 year resident of Sarasota, I know and and love this area. My clients seem to sense my enthusiasm and appreciate the personal knowledge I can pass on.

As a REALTOR®, I treat every customer like they are my only client; I take time to understand their needs, and do everything I can to make the transaction go as smoothly as possible.

My achievements include recognition as a multi-million dollar top producer and membership in the Million Dollar Guild.

After attending college on a golf scholarship, I played professionally for 3 years. My participation in various tournaments enabled me to visit the US, Canada, and South America – I've seen many wonderful places, but I was always drawn back to my home town that I love – Sarasota.

This area provides the perfect environment for my active lifestyle. When I'm not on the golf course, I like boating, working out, or just hanging out on the beach.

A few years ago I decided to put my marketing degree to work when I joined the family real estate business and began selling luxury properties in and around Sarasota.
