Allison James Estates and Homes (AJI) is a leading residential real estate brokerage firm with more than 1200 real estate agents representing 15 states, including California, Arizona, Florida, Nevada, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas and Washington.

Founded in 2005 by James Crumbaugh III, a 40-year Florida-based real estate veteran who shrewdly recognized that traditional real estate brokerage models were outdated. He created AJI as a new breed of real estate brokerage firms that emphasized minimal overhead and 100 percent agent commissions. In 2008, Crumbaugh sold the company to his son Matthew and daughter-in-law Jessica. Even though it was in the middle of the worst real estate downturn in modern history, the husband and wife team rapidly advanced AJI’s business model. Matthew and Jessica first moved the company’s headquarters to Carlsbad, CA, and then expanded the company’s presence into a nationwide network of seasoned real estate professionals from California to Florida. Agents quickly recognized the potential of the new business model that couples a lucrative commission structure with a simple fee arrangement.

Without the costs and headaches of maintaining an expensive “brick and mortar” facility and unreasonable commission splits, the new AJI ownership team focused on creating a robust infrastructure that provided cutting-edge back office technology and superior remote agent support. This includes electronic transactions, online lead management and referral systems, and multistate branding. However, perhaps one of the biggest benefits for real estate agents is AJI’s commitment to continuing education, support, mentorship, and training. In fact, the company established a free, open to all, online educational series of real estate and business classes presented under the umbrella of “Allison James University.” These courses focus on core skills and continuing education classes required for state licensing purposes. However, AJU also provides modern, webinars and online classes in modern sales techniques, closing strategies, and personal improvement classes.

Benefits For Real Estate Agents:

Today, AJI real estate agents benefit from the company’s vision in three distinct ways:

First, agents receive a full, 100 percent commission check for each consummated, regardless of size or volume. This means the upside potential for income is limitless while the low monthly fee never changes.
Second, AJI agents enjoy the benefits of working independently from their home office regardless of location- but still have the security of being supported with flawless back-office infrastructure, cutting-edge educational and career building programs, and respected national recognition.

Third, because AJI has established a nationwide presence, agents are better protected from the ebb and flow of regional real estate trends and diverse market fluctuations. This same coast-to-coast footprint allows AJI to leverage its scope and scale when it comes purchasing power, including marketing materials, signage, and even temporary meeting space.

Benefits For Real Estate Brokers:

Real estate brokers also benefit from the AJI culture and business model. Brokers who are unable or unwilling to be saddled with expensive overhead and anemic profits soon find out that selling their business is next to impossible. However by signing on with AJI, brokers are provided a clean exit strategy from their existing flag, while also eliminating their costly overhead and opening the door for making at least five times more profit. While it is true that AJI was founded in the middle of the worst housing downturns in modern history, it is also true that these challenging times were the perfect fire to test the steel of its paradigm-changing business model. If the proof is in the eating, then AJI has created an amazing recipe for continued success. Since its founding, has experienced exponential year-over-year growth in both velocity and volume.

AGENT TESTIMONIAL
Deanna Faraone shares why she joined Allison James Estates & Homes in 2011.
After many years in the real estate industry as an agent with some of the Top Brokerages in the country. Deanna had been approached many times by other brokerages and always thought the cost would exceed the benefits, and only take away from her business. One day, after crunching some numbers, She realized that she paid the last company $34,000 for the previous year to do absolutely nothing. Then she heard about Allison James. The 100% commission concept was explained, made absolute sense, and that alone sold her! As a very independent agent with a great referral database and no need for a physical office the 100% commission concept was all she needed to know.

TESTIMONIAL
Christopher started his real estate career directly out of high school, working as an assistant for one of Philadelphia’s most prestigious brokerage firms. As a young real estate protégé, Christopher’s natural talent for connecting with people and being able to absorb both the processes and nuances of residential real estate were obvious. Before long, Christopher became a licensed agent, and the catalyst behind a new, powerful real estate team that included broker Dan McIntosh, Jr. and fellow agent Ron Minges. Together the three hunted down leads, consummated difficult transactions, and bent over backwards to help their clients achieve their objectives, no matter what time, no matter what challenge, no matter what expertise was needed. The team’s achievements were so visible, that Philadelphia Magazine named Chris and his partners “Five Star Professionals” for their exceptional business practices.
