Get to Know Chris Allen

After being furloughed as pilot from Delta Airlines following September 11th in 2001, Chris Allen relocated back to his hometown of Oklahoma and formed a residential real estate company, The Allen Group.  Due to Chris' previous experience as owner and manager of Florida IntraCoastal Realty, changing career fields from pilot to real estate associate was handled with ease. Chris had record sales that first year in business and The Allen Group hasn't stopped growing.  Additional licensed realtors & office staff have added a better rounded group to help ever-growing client needs.  New construction, urban living and eco-friendly, green living are areas in which The Allen Group is currently diversifying.

Chris grew up in Edmond and Oklahoma City.  He attended Edmond elementary schools and graduated from Casady High School in 1987. Chris earned a spot at the United States Air Force Academy.  He was on the Dean's Honor list three years and graduated in 1991.  He has piloted planes to every continent of the world-flying both C-21 and C-141 aircraft.  Towards the end of his tenure in the Air Force, he was distinguished as a Presidential Support Pilot, Antarctica Pilot and one of five Nuclear Airlift Pilots.  Leaving the Air Force in 2000, Allen accepted a pilot position with Delta Airlines flying Boeing 737s throughout the eastern United States.  Training and working for a major airline gave him a corporate perspective with real bottom line issues affecting him directly. 

Chris's management positions in the Air Force, the up close and personal experience of being furloughed from Delta Airlines, and learning to adapt to new environments with his work has given him some amazing insight into working with people and growing business smart.  He has been described as one of the toughest negotiators in the business!

Parenting three daughters with his wife Stacey, Chris enjoys living and working in the city in which he was raised. He attends Bridgeway Church and is an avid outdoorsman.

Every local real estate market absolutely has its own trends and opportunities. This can vary greatly, even one neighborhood to the next. Ours is no different! It's our job to steer you into opportunities and away from problem areas.  What is the true market value of the home you are interested in? Is it priced too high? We help home buyers make decisions like this every day that save them not only money but in many times heartache associated with buying a property and inheriting potential problems and liability. We'll make sure that YOU get the best value for your money and have a very thorough home inspection to highlight any areas of concern. 

Negotiating with sellers can be stressful for buyers and sellers alike. We will do all of the negotiating for you so that the final contract includes the best possible terms and conditions for you. Have confidence when signing documents with us. Contracts are full of real estate terms and clauses that can greatly affect your home purchase, your financial commitment and the rights you have during and after the purchase. We will give you the full benefit of our real estate knowledge and experience. Let us represent your best interests in your search for a new home.  While you can see thousands of homes on the web, buying your home is another matter entirely.

For Sellers, today's market can seem somewhat intimidating and you probably have a bunch of questions. For example How much is my home REALLY worth? How long will it take to sell in today's real estate market? How do you handle buyers making undesirable offers? 

As top listing Realtors with years of experience and a proven track record of selling homes, it is our job to guide you through this process, from beginning to end. We want you to get the maximum value for your home, within YOUR time frame. Here are just some of the things that we will do to market and sell your home: 

Buyers want to buy your home for as little as possible! Through detailed comparisons between your home and recently sold homes and other properties currently on market, together we can determine what your home is really worth. Having a background as a licensed appraiser and home staging specialist helps immensely.

Buyers have their own timelines, which might not be yours! We make sure they don't waste your time by qualifying them as to their real ability to afford your home.  Many buyers are struggling to find financing.  We have teamed with top lenders as well to make this process as smooth as possible.

Our extensive marketing of your home assures you of maximum value. Our web site www.sellinogklahoma.com for example, will market your property all across the web. It will appear on Yahoo Real Estate, Microsoft MSN HomeAdvisor, Zillow, Trulia, Homes.com, and other top national sites. We can place your home on our web site within a few minutes time!

When we begin marketing your home, we will immediately notify all the buyers that we are helping find their ideal home. We'll also notify all the other top Realtors in your neighborhood. It is a powerful way to jump-start the sale of your home! 

We also have professional photo's taken and a virtual tour created for your home...an absolute must for our internet savy buyers!!  Certified Home Staging Specialists, we will advise you how to best present your property to maximize its selling potential. Some improvements are worth it, and some are not!

Contracts are complicated, and intimidating. You don't want to go to a closing with any doubts. You will have the full benefit of our real estate experience and knowledge for a smooth and successful closing.

You pay no up front costs for our services! We will work hard to get your home sold for as much as this market will possibly bear. We will also work within your time frame and your needs. For example, sometimes it can be hard to sell and move out of your current home and buy and move into a new home, all at the same time! Let us make this smooth and easy for you!
